Aussiemom is so right. And honestly I'm not a doctor but you discribed
fibro to a T if you ask me. Look it up on the internet. It will help you.

Then please look for a pain management doctor. Specifically tell the
group you call, that your looking for someone that will work with fibro
possible patient. Mine first took care of a neck problem. Then took
over my whole body.

Two things work very good for me.

1. A massage, but in my case I have bones and muscles that get very
tight so my massage therapist. Has to be willing to be a lot harder on
my body so to speak. She uses deep pressure. But now she also uses
something cups, which are great.

I have been with her for 4 years. And I have to say, its keeping me out
of Physical Therapy as much. (But my physical therapy was because of
car accident, neck that just happened, and I fell and hurt my arm)

2. I am on gabapentin, the generic for neurotin. It has worked wonders
for me. As long as I'm on the right dosage. I was also at one point on
cymbalta, that was fantastic, but when I lost my insurance. I had
to stop taking it. I now take celexa's generic. Which is starting to really
help the confusion and anxiety that was returning from being of the cymbalta.


I take other things regularly for other issues. And I have Tylenol/codeine if
I really need it.


I am giving my meds, but I luckily only need the mild ones.

There are lots more. So please get a doctor. You can ask if anyone is in your area. And knows a good Pain doctor also. But that should be its on thread.
