Thank you for your comments. I was diagnosed at Mayo by a Rheumotologist in 2014. Fortunately, for me, prednisone does work, and when I have a serious episode, I increase my dose and then titrate down(only recently discovered this solution during an ER visit at a Mayo.). Because of the (mis) belief that prednisone does not work for fibromyalgia, I struggle with doctors that agree with this philosophy and won’t support my medication solution. I have tried other medication’s to include gabapentin most recently. Gabapentin gave me many side effects that I did not like, on the flip-side, it took away many of the idiosyncrasies of fibromyalgia, like not being able to eat anything that is not homemade without side effects (due to additives, preservatives, colorings, etc). Oh, well, having the pain greatly diminished is worth the inconvenience and any negative impacts on my body.
