I was diagnosed with fibro in February 2015. I was also diagnosed with severe anxiety and a couple other things. I currently take Cymbalta 90mg, Flexeril 10mg, Mobic 15mg, and Ambian 10mg. Ambian does not in any way help me sleep. My panic attacks and constant body pain keep me awake no matter what meds I take. I'm also having horrible stomach pain along with rectal bleeding. I did live in Indiana and my doctor there showed no interest in actually treating me.

So, I recently moved down to SC where I sought out a new doctor. She took me off the ambian and mobic. She also referred me to a pain clinic.

Once my new insurance kicks in I'll be at my firsy pain clinic appointment. I am quite nervous. I do not want to be labeled as a drug seeker or "faker." I'm not sure how to approach these doctors. I have been prescribed hydrocodone in times of great pain. Magically they worked. I slept, my pain subsided, and even my axiety lowered. I did have so stomach discomfort.

How should I show the pain doctor my ailments are real and severe?

How should I inform the doctor of my previous success with pain medication?

How should I not sound like a drug abuser?
