I knew it was time to switch GP's when, after months of telling my Dr that I was in extreme all-over body pain, I asked him if there was anything he could do to help me and his answer was, "No." I think he wanted to get rid of me as a patient because tests didn't show anything physically wrong with me. I now have a female GP who is more understanding, but there is not much they can do for Fibro other than recommend the 3 drugs the FDA has approved, which only work for about 30% of the people who take them.

I'm now taking low-dose naltrexone and 5mg of cyclobenzaprine daily. I had to go to a Pain Clinic to get the prescription for naltrexone but at my next visit with my GP I will ask her if she can renew my prescription to save me another trip to that Dr. I would ask your GP to recommend those two drugs. There are studies on-line showing they can help, so I would take that info to your Dr. If your GP won't do that, try and find a functional medicine Dr. I am doing well now but don't know if it's because of those meds or if I'm in a temporary remission. I also take a B complex vitamin, Vitamin C and magnesium glycinate.

It's almost more difficult when friends and family don't believe you or understand. Good luck to you.
