    Hospital ?

    Has anyone been to the hospital due to their fibromyalgia pain? This week has been horrible for me. I have been in so much pain (all over my whole body) from the neck down. I haven't even been able to shower in 5 days. Sleep has been sporadic. Now I'm getting really emotional (crying). My...

    Pain Medications

    Hello, My Dr. just put me on hydrocodone 10/325 mg three times a day. Helps greatly, but I'm still in "full body pain". It works great for about 2 hours, then wears off. I was previously prescribed gabapentin which did nothing at all for the pain, so he took me off that and put me on the...

    Doctor in Dallas area

    Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Dallas/Plano/Allen/McKinney area? Pain management preferred, so I can get some relief. I'm having a hard time convincing my present doctor that I need pain pills (hydrocodone, etc) for my pain. He believes I only need gabapentin. I'm having side...

    Gabapentin

    I started Gabapentin 300mg 3 / times a day, then my Dr. increased it to 600mg 3 / times a day. Then he increased it to 800mg 3 / times a day. I was totally fine, with no side effects at all until the 800mg 3 / times a day. On the 800mg 3 / times a day, I have been really shaky and jittery...

    Pressure points?

    Hello, When my pain management Dr. diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, he pushed on a "few" of the pressure point sites and I had no pain or tenderness, nothing at all! I asked him about it and he said I still have fibromyalgia because I have literally ALL of the other symptoms. Does anyone...

    New and need advice

    Hello everyone, I am completely new to all of this (fibromyalgia). I have some questions and hopefully you all can help me. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 weeks ago by my pain management DR. He put me on Gabapentin 600mg / 3 times a day. It seems to "help" but does not completely take...
