Hi. I am so sorry you are suffering so much. I think that hydrocodone may be a good choice for some types of pain, but fibromyalgia responds very well to Elavil and Gabapentin. I took Elavil for years, and it also helped with my migraines, and gave me a much better night sleep. Good luck to you. Irene

Shame on our son,he doesn't realize how you feel I have O A that is bad enough it along with fibromyalgia.Alot of people just are unaware of the pain.Our group knows how much in pain we all have.
My doctor told me this is very common behavior by your kids. They refuse to realize the rock of the family might be gone sooner than they thought.
Fibromyalgia alone is not terminal.

Hello, I am very new here. After many traumas, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic pain and fatigue syndrome and just recently neurodermatitis. I never had a pimple in my life. All of this is so new to me. My psychiatrist put me on Effexor 2 years ago and lied to me about weight gain and side effects on it. I was like a zombie 24 hours day. I finally had enough and told him it wasn't working for my pain which he prescribed it for me. I was talking 150mg and I started weaning off last week and have been on my own. The withdrawals are horrifying but I'm not stopping this process. I was told that this process is different for everyone. And my anxiety and panic attacks during this process is pure hell. So I was given Buspurone. And told that I could also take Benadryl and chamomile caplets. Which work good. Is anyone taking anything else for these issues ? Thank you very much ❣️

"Yes it is frustrating. There is a book out I have not purchased. It is called, "You don't look sick" Also she takes spoons and let say one spoon is washing dishes, another, vacuuming, another Grocery... If someone wants to know how you feel with Fibro, this is a good way to do it. I have the same thing with RA. My son actually said to me,,,,You think everything is RA My Lord...I love my son but I could not believe he puts into words what a lot of people believe
