Hi all, I'm new here after a winding journey. I was diagnosed with fibro 15 years ago, then told it wasn't, went down multiple rabbit holes, and now back to fibro diagnosis. I have tried almost every drug and they either don't work or the side effects were too bad to continue. Finally settled on IV lidocaine infusions and steroids. I've been on steroids for a while, they make me feel 20 years younger but not great to be on them for too long so Dr just prescribed Hydroxychloroquine. Hopefully, this one works. I’ve got a boatload of coping mechanisms and tools to manage the symptoms, but I’m looking for new ideas and a community to share stories and experiences with.

Welcome. The only lidocaine infusion I’ve had was as a marker for a medication so the effects only lasted a couple hours. I’m about to try the same thing with ketamine. I’m five years in to my Fibro diagnosis and still trying to figure it all out.
