Hello Jude69,
I have had fibro for 18 years since I was out of the military. I have been given many prescriptions, but the one that works best is deluxatine. No weird side effects, no drowsiness, and fully aware without the pain. I still get random pains cause it's only getting worse. Hopefully I will not get worse than I already am. Some days I cannot wake up and I feel I could sleep all day. Waking up is harder as I get older. I use to be very active, but it's getting tougher. I pray you find resolution in this mysterious but completely invisible disease. Only we can know the difference of how hard it is to do just simple tasks. Sincerely, Cat
