I was diagnosed in March 2000.
Doctor tried me on : Celebrex , Lyrica , Cymbalta , Neurontin .
(Horrible side effects from the 3 above) The Neurontin gave me mini seizures , my head was so heavy I couldn't get my chin off my chest.
I currently take the :Tramadol and Flexeril .
I've been on Tramadol 2 years. No addiction problems what so ever.
The Flexeril I've used off and on since the 70's.
No addiction problems with that either.
I am currently using a Tens Unit. Empi XL.
Nothing really seems to help.
So , what is there left to try ?
And a silly question , so forgive me , if nothing can be done about Fibromyalgia , WHY ARE WERE USING DRUGS ?
Aren't we just doing harm to our internal organs by taking all these medications ?
I have never really understood any of this at all.
