Trazadone

Well tuesday went to my new PCP. I knew her but she was not my PCP before so I did not know what to expect. i told her how bad I was feeling and I thought that it was a flare and she agreed. I told her where it was hurting i said I get aches and hurting across my upper chest. She said that goes with Fibromyalgia I NEVER had a doctor tell me that and wished i known that before. She wanted me to try trazadone to sleep better. Well i still take my 15 mg of melatonin and the past 2 night taking the trazadone I think I slep sounder. I felt better today wow maybe it will help.

Love trazadone!

I hurt along my upper chest, too. Makes it hard to breathe. Can't get a decent breath in when I'm in pain. No doctor has ever had a clue why. 

Nothing can touch my chest - way too painful.  I was on trazadone, but after surgery it wasn't doing what it needed to do to help me sleep so I take ambien.  The trazadone is a antidepressant that also helps with pain receptors.

The trazadone can work miracles! I stupidly thought my sleep was improving so asked to be taken off of it so now I'm just on clonopin and Lunesta but I'm still insomniac.  I see my specialist in Jan so I'll ask about melatonin and trazadone then.

There are more than 18 tender points for fibro, they just use the 18 points to diagnose the condition. So that could be why you are hurting so bad across your upper chest. I know my muscles there get all tight, knotted and tender. I always ask my monthly massage lady to work on them and it feels so good as she is very gentle there. You might try asking a partner to lightly massage you there if you can't afford a professional massage.
