Hi Kim and Welcome to NeuroTalk

I also have fibro (among other things) so I can relate to the pain and all the other effects on the body that the pain causes.

I use Lidoderm patches too - and I also used to have a hard time getting them to stick to my neck area. I discovered that my problem with getting them to stay stuck was due to the size of the patches and the curves of my neck.... what helped me to finally get them to stay stuck was cutting them to fit. I generally cut one patch into 3 or 4 pieces in order to get the benefits of a full patch on my neck. Thankfully, Lidoderm patches are one of the few patches that are safe to cut to size.

Take care,
Liz
