What are you doing or taking for your fibro
Hi everyone, I am new to this board but wanted to see what everyone else is taking for their Fibro. I also have RA, anyone else? Just wondered if these two go hand in hand. Some days I cannot even tell which is bothering me. For my RA I take the once a week shot enbril along with methatrexate. For the fibro I take tramadol and flexeril.

hi anna:
i'm taking methadone - but will be coming off of it in the next 10 days. i've been tapering down slowly since the pain center visits but considered it better to stay on it while i had my foot reconstruction done.
i'm also taking lyrica - 200 mg daily
and tizanidine - 4 mg daily
as well as 60 mg daily of cymbalta for depression.
every day i have to take tylenol for specific pains in my shoulder (rotator cuff), my foot (fused heel and one graft), bulging lower back discs, and headaches behind my eye - since my ear surgery. but i'm trying to cut back on the tylenol.
it may help with the fibro, is the reason i mention it
hope that's not too much info for you. guess i didn't realize i was this chatty.
take care

I am on vicodin and Fentanyl. I miss my Cymbalta but cant argue with the dr. Want a new one but my life revolves around dr visits so we may revisit that thought at a later date. Tramadol was a joke for me and since we cant have nsaids. Hopefully will back off some after back surgery.

I used to take 800 motrin, but of course that stopped.
I now take darvocet and flexeral and cymbalta. I am going to talk to my doc about changing the cymbalta. I like it BUT I have put on 25 to 30 pounds in the last few months since I started it! Although would you believe the military dr's labeled me as a drug seeker for Darvocet? Hello!!! After taking it for 1 month. How nice huh?? So I get a bunch of crap when I go to the doc.
What is this device? Can you tell me more?

hi this is a medical device which can be used as a personal wellness machine.to be used in the privacy of your own home 24/7, benefits are reduced aches and pains better sleep relaxes you increase circulation and oxygen. these products work on the same principal as acupuncture, meditation, and words do not describe the experience! ;) this is not a scam i have testimonials and it also helps with weight loss, it seems no one is interested in something other than using drugs , thats a shame
