@ripley, I agree. Fibromyalgia is very painful and very tiring and I have had it going on 28 years now. I take magnesium 200 mg to relax the muscles, I came off of Flexeril as it can cause short term memory loss and the doctor put me on Tinizidine, which has helped greatly. I do epsom salt bath soaks as hot as I can stand it, I use heat packs that you put in the microwave called "Bed buddy", I also rub myself down with Voltaren Gel (It's over the counter) up to 4 times a day for pain. I have just been diagnosed with borderline Lupus and I am now on Plaquenil which has helped tremendously with the fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis & borderline lupus pain. GP's are not all versed in fibromyalgia....I say that from experience. Go back to your rheumatologist and tell them you need something for pain or get a 2nd opinion from another rheumatologist if possible. I agree about the Cymbalta. I know someone personally that had a hard time weaning off the Cymbalta. Try to move as much as you can because you will get stiff if you don't. Stretch in the mornings when you get up. God Bless You. Praying....I understand.
