need some help with med's choice

Thanks for the comments.
We are dealing with multiple health issues in our family too.
Husband just retired from a 20 yr career in the army as EOD.
He has TBI, PTSD, Bad Knees-back to name a few. He has been
great at taking care of me. He has no plans to ever work again.
He should be getting 100% disability from the VA and is going to school.

 Hi! I can totally feel for you. I could not tolerate so many of the meds and at this time I am on the Fentanyl patch every 3 days, ultram and robaxin (just got off the flexeril because it was making me comatose and the silly docs didn't want to take me off of it because it helped my pain grrrrr). My fibromyalgia is due to a genetic disorder but the same treatments are used so far. I have been on disability since 2003 and I have to use a wheelchair to get around except for very short distances. 

It is so great to find many people on here to share with regarding FM and obesity/WLS. I am hoping to have the Lap-band by the end of the year. I can't wait! Have any of you noticed any improvements of your FM symptoms with the weight loss? 

 Something you may want to think about. They have come out with a new medication for fibromyalgia called Savella. I have been on it for a couple of weeks and so far it is working better than lyrica or cymbalta did for me.  It's just a thought.. Something to talk to your doctor about. The only bad thing is it is not on Tricares formulary so you will have to get it outside the military hospitals.

I hope this helps.

 I just read no NSAIDS after WLS?  I take two for my Fibro and degenerative disc disease & 4 back surgeries.  I can't take other stuff due to previous problems with addiction.  My docs had me on like 10 different drugs and I had to get off all of them last year.  

Can anyone comment on this NSAID issue?

Thanks!

From what I understand from some of the reading I have done,  NSAIDs have a possibility of damaging the pouch and has a more likely chance of causing ulcers and such very uncomfortable things. This is just from my reading on the topic, I personally am allergic to them so I couldn't take 'em even if I wanted to.

Hope this helps.
