So, are you taking any of the drugs meant for Fibro? If so, which ones and how much relief is provided? Also, what is "tapping"? Thank you.

Yes I thought I was writing on another post where I mentioned that I take sevreal meds recommended for Fibro;
Lyrica 200ms 3x day
Cymbalta 60mg day
Morphine extended release 30mg 2 x day. This changed my life for the better
Tizanadine 4mg up to 4 at bedtime.
Nortriptyline 100 mg at bedtime
Remember I have been on various meds for Fibro since 2000, so my tolerance or need has gone up over time.
I take high quality multivitamin, magnesium powder [Calm} for Restless Leg and Triple Magnesium supplement at times for IBS, Qunol Turmeric 2000mg, Vitamin D3, Calcium for Osteopenia, Vitamin C.
Tapping for Emotional Release is an incredible, well- researched and scientifically proven , tapping of certain areas on the face and chest which stimulates the meridian points on these areas. You can find videos on Youtube. [Nick Ortner Tapping for Pain Release, or something like that]. I am a skeptical person and I do my own research on things before I believe. I am a strong believer of this. The Tapping Solution is a free [FREE!] app that breaks down the information. It is a simple technique that stimulates parts of the brain that help with pain, anxiety, sleep problems, etc. It is miraculous. It often turns my day around. I use it every night when I try to ease into sleep. And every morning to lower my pain before I get out of bed.
As far as the relief I get from the Fibro medication. I would not be still on this Earth without the help they provide. My quality of life is greatly improved with the medicine. Chronic pain for 40 years certainly has made me depressed. I have never had any bad side effects. With Lyrica, a Doctor starts a person on a much lower dose than me. I have been taking it for 16 years.
