I also forgot in my original post, i have been on Omega fatty acids for a long time, but it does not seem to be helping me. My doctor and the rheumatologist I saw, well, he told me that my doctor was doign a great job of treating me and there was really nothing he would do differently.
My medication regimen for this awful thing:
Cymbalta 60 mg once a day
Percocet 10/650 mg 1 twice daily.
Xanax 1 mg 3 times a day
Lortab and Ultram for breakthru pain.
I take other vitamins and I also take magnesium.
As you can see, I am a walking dealer for a drug addict and i HATE IT....but I hate the pain more. Stretching exercises seem to help a GREAT deal and I do them a few times during the day.
I also have a myspace page and I have met WONDERFUL people who suffer from FBM, joined support groups online as there aren't any in this area at all, not a one!! Everyday, we send each others messages, we chat on IM, some of use even exchanged phone numbers. These gals are wonderful and some have other conditions in addition to FBM and they are the strongest women I know.
If you would like to find out more about the groups I belong to, please feel free to email me. Good luck with everything. I know what you are going through. |
