    Taxing Opioids

    There is a bill being proposed; I don't know if it is House or Senate;that wants to tax all opioid use to set up a fund for addiction help for those on opioids. It is stated that this is a "fee" not a tax and insurance will pick up most of it. Those who have cancer or other life-threatening...

    Gov't restrictions

    With the new gov't. restrictions on opioids, every month I have to visit my prescribing Dr. for the Rx. The biggest trouble is the extra $ it now costs me to see the Dr. each month and the urine tests sent to the lab. For someone on a fixed income this is truly a hardship! In future I may not be...

    ionic footbaths

    Does anyone know if ionic foot baths work? It is supposed to help remove toxins from the body and in reviews for a home kit some with FM say it gave them more energy. I don't know anyone who has ever had one done, much less have a home unit.

    Anyone had Synvisc One injections ?

    Synvisc One is for arthritic knees. I know it isn't specifically FM related but it is ME related. This one and only body I have is crumbling faster than I can keep up with. I have read several reviews about it and it's a little more against than for. I suspect much of it is "operator"...

    New pain cream

    Has anyone used the new pain cream FMAware is advertising? On their website there is a coupon for it as well. It's called My Pain Away cream--also at CVS with $2 coupon online. Think I'll give it a try on my painful legs,(burning, aching). The Savella works, as long as I don't have to do much...

    Just griping

    :-(I know what to do for a migraine, I've had them since I was 5 yrs old. But when they last for 5 days I get real tired and fed up-if I had any energy I'd scream. I've never understood people--like my sister--who say crying cleanses them, just gives me a migraine and sick stomach. We had to...

    weaning off cymbalta

    Okay, I've been weaning off Cymbalta without any of the reported nastiness; thank-you Lord; in order to try Sam E or 5 htp instead. Has anyone used either of these to any success? I'm not generally a depressive person, until the pain gets real bad. And I (hope) I'm done grieving for the life...

    Oh my Word!

    After a 6 week hiatus, except for the fatigue, the pain is back big time. I helped out at church with VBS as I needed to stay with my granddaughter anyway. It was only for 3 days. The 2nd day I knew I was going to be in trouble. The last day I would not have gone at all if it wasn't for my...

    Cymbalta withdrawal horrors

    I was reading in another site, (people's pharmacy), about all the people having such trouble withdrawing from Cymbalta. From "brain zaps" to severe anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea, migraines and on and on. These symptoms can last months or a year or more. Most doctors don't even know about this as...

    I'm back

    Thanks for your thoughts, comments and prayers. The surgery on my ankle went extra long as the damage was worse than anticipated .(They ALWAYS say that). Anyway , I have an excellent surgeon and it went well, although I'll be off my feet 10 weeks instead of 6 .(ugh!) I went from a fat bandage to...
