Because I have stage 1 kidney disease I can't take traditional fibromyalgia drugs, so off label use of Mirapex was prescribed. I too have edema but it's usually a signal from my kidneys that I have over done salt or something. My kidneys speak loudly when I screw up.

I've never taken any of the so called fibro drugs. I was given the dx in 1999. I believed and still do believe it's so low thyroid issues.
I got my thryoid supported after 10 yrs of being told I was "normal". The lab numbers run the doctor's decisions...we are not numbers. The old time doctors had no labs to go by, they went by symptoms. I have addressed adrenals. Hormones with DHEA. Magnesium thru the day. Vit C a couple times per day. MSM three times per day. I deal with bodywide arthritis but manage there too. And a messed up hip replacement. I've been on FM/CFS support groups and learned so much since that 1999 dx. Again, I believe it's so much thyroid. Doctors just don't take the time and it's so easy to write a script for one of their drugs. We need to do our research and let doctors know that we KNOW a lot about what we supposedly are challenged with. Thank goodness for the net and world of supplements. C |

Lyrica per my doc resets the pain threshold. It makes you capable of tolerating more pain.
