I'm 53 yrs. Old, a recovering addict and have such severe (tears rolling down my face) pain, with anxiety, depression, it's gotten to the point where I'm not sleeping but maybe 0-3 hrs. Of interrupted sleep. I don't have a diagnosis yet. I've been researching and it all points to fibro. The e.r.s are a joke where I live and can't get an appt. With a PCP(primary care physician) for 3-4 months. It has become the most unbearable pain I've ever experienced on a night to night basis. Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas to get me help. I'm to the point of relapsing, I have worked to damn hard to go backwards. Desperate in wa. State

I have fibro and have been fainting occasionally for several years. We haven't found a cause yet. Latest try is checking my heart for some possible occasional electrical activity. Holter monitor, EKG and MRI showed no problems. I have been trying Lyrica and is causing dizziness that requires I sit down. Fainting might follow if I didn't. Used naproxen for years for pain but went off when I had a small digestive system bleed. Searching for new pain relief. Would like to go back on amitriptyline for best sleep and pain control I have ever had. Not recommended for older people but docs are considering. I had some minor spatial hallucinations but knew the weren't real and were short. Recently read that was true for most patients.

I use ice packs to my thighs and just numb them. It helps short-term. I take Epsom salt baths and use mg gluconate and maleate at bedtime.
Just purchased Baxyl liquid (take daily) and Theraworx (topical foam) from Amazon as per recommendation by others in the chat. I give it a 30 day usage and evaluate. Stay strong and pray.
