Hi Texas Gal, It's nice to meet you. I've had the challenges if widespread pain since I was 5 or 5 years old-maybe since birth as my mom told me I screamed non-stop for hours when a baby. I agree with you that it is so nice to have a forum where you can share experiences. I have tried almost every type of medication and pain treatment available, and keep coming back to Tramadol (Ultram). It is what works the best for me.

Hugs and encouragement to all of you experiencing Fibromyalgia. (even the name of the disease is ugly-sounds like the name of a worm species or a fungus.
