Hi, new to the forum and diagnosed with Fibro 2 months ago.
I'm 24 and the diagnosis was a shock.
I just wanted to ask advice all be it I know we are not doctors.
I am really struggling with my flare ups. I take Sertraline daily which seems to help a little.
When I have a flare up, all the doctors give me is Naproxen and Co-Codamol which take the edge off but make me feel extremely sick and woozy. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen don't help at all.
I was just wondering if there is any other pain relief anyone else takes which doesnt make you feel sick or are pain patches a thing used to help with Fibro?
I'm trying to work and live my life as normally as I can for a 24 year old but it is holding me back when the meds make me feel ill.
