Me too. I have "Severe Fibro" I've been told by one rheumy, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Degenerative Disc Disease. I have tried SO many things and 6-7 Tramadol a day with occasional add-on of Tylenol is what keeps me going. I also have a hot tub we soak in every morning. I am writing this at 4am because my pain meds have worn off. I get up, take my meds and begin the process of putting on compression sleeves, gloves, etc. and all my heat pads and/or ice packs. I sit here at my computer until everything starts to work. I drink a coffee concoction of caffeine and collagen protein with chocolate. 🙂 I didn't realize how much the caffeine did until I had to get off for a couple days. I don't have high sed rates. I'm 64 and my last MRI's at last showed herniated or bulging discs pinching nerves. I ALWAYS have pain and never in just one place. Sometimes I can get it down to almost a normal day, but most days I have about 4 hours a day I can do some normal activities. It's eghausting! I'm a colon cancer survivor with a messed up digestive tract, so I look at the anti-inflammatory diet and can't do it. It's not appealling at all and some I cannot eat. I don't know what's next, but I don't stop fighting.
