I asked my rheumatologist about lidocaine and she said no. Both my rheumatologist and doctor said no to gabapentin. I have constant pain, to me a flare just means more pain but it is always there.
I have been getting lidocaine infusions for over 5 years. I am able to get one every 4 weeks and I take advantage of that. The result is subtle but I find I am able to do much more beginning the day after the infusion. The effect usually lasts about 2 weeks.
I too FM for 40 years. My granddaughter, a hygienist told me about it. I will speak to my rheumatologist. thank you
