Kinda confused.

Okay folks, as I read your posting related to arthritis pain meds, and fibromalysia, I began to get a little anxious. I am taking meds for arthritis and malyasia and let me just say, they have helped me get up and down the stairs a whole lot better that before I started taking them. If it weren't for the railing on the wall, I would have had to crawl up the stairs. Getting in and out of car and up from chair, etc. So, I guess what this post I am sending is about...You mean to say now that they have found something to help me not hurt so much, that I will have to give it up? For good or just a period of time? I am meeting with Dr. Toder on October 17 to discuss the procedure. I am in hopes to have laparoscopic but the dietitian (Dayna) said some people wake to find that they had to do open for different reasons. (I am hoping and praying that they don't have to open me, I need to get back to work as soon as possible). I know the postings on here are from personal experience, but please let me know as much as you can about the discontinuing of meds or maybe I will be offered different ones? Look forward to hearing from all...Diane

I was told by Dr. Clough and my PCP that NO medicines like arhtritis nor asprin coul d be taken. Pain pills you can take but no inflamatory's., ever. I am just praying there all right with - 200 lbs off or what ever it will be less painful. Pam
