Any suggestions of how to cope everyday with fibromyalgia?
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease and it is a struggle everyday of my life. I am a single mom raising 2 small children and a teenager. I have been in physical therapy , being seeing a rhuematologist frequently, had a hysterectomy last year due to endometriosis and recently had a laproscopy because my righy ovary was twisted around my intestines and suffer from severe cramping everyday of my life still and my ob doctor recently informed me I have to find another doctor because they feel they can no longer do anything for me. The only thing I have acheived is being accepted in a pain management clinic and am currently getting epidurals for the deg. disc disease and am on 5 mg of oxycodone and that seems to be the only thing that makes my days bearable. What I am asking is has anyone else out there found any other remedies that have helped them cope? Please I need any advice at this time! thank you, living in misery everyday.
Being a sufferer now in remission I noted your question whilst looking for help with excrutiating pain in theball of my foot and here is a website which I happened to come across which talks about medication to manage the pain. Hope this helps. http://www.cymbalta.com/fibromyalgia/cymbaltaandfibromyalgia.jsp

Yes i hope so ..GET rid of the oxycodone. I have finally got Lyrica and WOW what a difference . You can find alot about this drug on www.Iguard.org I dont mean to stress this place but there are so many few places to compare, find side effts and most important , what the problem is your having and the med folks are using to treat it
Lyrica iam on 3x 100 mg and love what it has done for me . just to go to the store is a miracle -hope this helps -oh and i have been on perkqocett.vicodine and ultra --not no
more. Not since Lyrica-this does not bother my upper respitory either
