Anyone experienced a fibromyalgia flare for 6 months?

Absolutely, after over 20 years, a painless day is a rarity. The thing isthat eatly on, I was told fibro was a static condition. I beg to differ.
I hope you have some sort of pain relief outside of otc. Many have found relief with Cymbalta, Lyrica or another ssri. I take Tramadol and occasional Tylenol. I also make sure, I don't overdo.

Is Tramadol the only med you take for Fibro pain? What dose do you take and do you take it every day? Also, do you have any side effects? Thanks

I am presently on 100 mg of Plaquenil for newly diagnosed Lupus every other day, (it has helped greatly with my pain & inflammation with fibro too), but, the side effects are not good. I see my Rheumatologist soon. I too have had Fibro for 20+ years. I was blessed to have a doctor diagnose me with Fibro and run a sed rate to rule out other autoimmune issues. He knew his stuff about Fibro...before it was widely known about at the time. You are so right, a painless day is a rarity. I cannot take NSAIDS like Advil, Motrin, Aleve. I wish I could! I am not on any antidepressants nor am I taking any prescription pain meds. The Plaquenil has given me much relief...but, the side effects are not good as I said! I am so glad that Tramadol helps you. You are correct, if you overdo, you pay for it FOR DAYS! God Bless you & Happy 4th!
