my antidepressant is Zoloft 100 mg at bedtime. The rheumatologist put me on NSAIDs (Relafen 1500 mg) in January and although some think that the steroids do not help I found that they helped a great deal - especially the pain I was feeling over my hip area when I laid on my side or rolled over, etc - while it did not make the pain go completely away - the tenderness I felt diminished a great deal - I tend to think that everyone responds to different medications, treatment, etc - it seems that the treatment plan for each person differs like the symptoms differ from person to person. He also put me on Neurontin back in February to help with the tingling feeling I was having in my feet and hands -which has helped. I'm still in the beginning stages of fibro - so I'm sure my symptoms will change/intensify as time goes by. I have, however,felt great the last 3-4 days thank goodness - hope it last for a while (I know wishful thinking! - but hey a girl's gotta dream LOL!)...I too have cut down on my sugar and caffeine. Do you have muscle spasms? Lyrica was something he said I could try if the Neurontin didn't work for me - but the Lyrica is rather expensive and not the preferred drug on my insurance right now - so I opted for the Neurontin it so far so good - and I've not gained the weight that some people did - so maybe I'll be okay for a while on this med. Well I need to go sign on to work - I hope you and all the other fibro sufferers have a great week!!! |
