Anyone experienced a fibromyalgia flare for 6 months?

Posted by suzanne1951 @suzanne1951, Jul 4, 2023

My fibromyalgia has been flaring for more than 1/2 year. Instead of getting better, I am getting worse. No stamina, complete exhaustion, flu-like achy, headaches. I spend at least half my days lying on the sofa. Has this happened to you? Any advice?

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

It is my understanding that Tramadol has a number of concerning side effects such as organ damage, addiction, certain psychiatric effects, serotonin syndrome. I have been told by my doctors that it is not meant to be taken long term. I’d listen carefully to what your doc has to say. They don’t Rx tramadol at all in my rheumatologist’s office.
