Hi Billie,

I am in Australia and even though Prepulsid (Cisapride) is now a non-approved drug globally, doctors here in Australia can get a special exemption to order it for compassionate reason but have to get a permit first through our TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration). Perhaps a similar process can happen for you wherever you live.

This journey to 'diagnosis' is a long one and for me at the moment I rest in the Fibromyalgia basket but also have severe Gastroparesis along with 25 other symptoms - whether these are part and parcel of Fibromyalgia or part of something else yet to be discovered is anyone's guess!

Interesting though neither of the Neurologists I consulted with mentioned/considered Fibromyalgia in their provisional diagnoses.

I wish you well in your journey.

Megan
