Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

@sandytoes14 I am so sorry to her about the pain you are in. Obviously the pain meds you are on are not helping if you are not able to eat or sleep. What type of doctor do you see? What I mean is he/she a neurologist, rheumatoligist, primary care? Have you been on Gabapentin or any of the meds for nerve diseases? Have you had water therapy? Would you be interested in medical marijuana and would your doctor be with you on it? I am putting things out there. I don't know, but pain kills our desire and our ability to live or love life and there has to be something that helps.

@summertime4 I see a wonderful pain management doctor who specializes in fibromyalgia. I will see him later today and just pray that he can do something to help. @babette The DEA has such limits now on what can be prescribed and how much, at least in FL. The people that are literally suffering from their limits are true documented chronic pain patients like so many of us. Gabapentin gave me horrid side effects, falls and memory loss. Lyrica helps some. Medical marijuana is on my mind. I don't qualify for surgery--I've seen neurosurgeons around the country that all say the same diagnosis. Only a 50% chance of helping my C Spine.My husband had 2 fusion surgeries last year. He is going to try the pain stimulator. Just now going through the insurance approvals.I appreciate your responses and understanding.
