Oh I'm sorry. I have recently (6 months or so) found relief with a cocktail of medications mixed with massage, exercise and epidural steroid shots to my back. I don't think one thing will ever be enough to deal with it but I have found SOME relief. I hope you do, soon. I take muscle relaxer, sleep aide, meloxicam, cymbalta, ....the list goes on and on. I hate taking them but my choices are limited. Am I the only one on the double digit medications?

Hi Momma 73~ I was reading your Entry and So I joined and wanted to share with you,, I to was told for years I was too fat etc. My Pain was Really bad, Finally a Dr. told me I Had Fibromilgia , Never heard of it~ well I read about it and cryed for days , yes that is what it was, The releif to know what was wrong, So I found an answer for me, I Take 5000MG of MSM at a time Some times four times a day when it is kicking up, <It stops the spasums for me in about 10 minutes,, I also Drink Yarrow tea. a wild plant and it helps too, Another thing I did Acupunture and that helped a bit.. they say extersize is good ~Well The more I do the more I hurt, I work full time here on our little farm so I don't do extra exersize.. You can Buy MSM At any Drug store. Not expensive. I hope this will help someone. I have and do suffer untold Hell with this and Yo find relief is a miricle.

They have me on 5 or 6 medications. Only thing that seems to help for the pain Is narcotic pain relievers. I hate taking them but have no choice. Can't take the pain

Water therapy is good also or swimming/exercise in a heated pool.

BettyAnn every time I see your pic I just think that you are the cutest thing. I also like how positive you are "All good things are possible". I agree wholeheartedly.
