You have found a great group of people. Hope you find they are as caring, supportive and informative as I have. I take Soma [1 tab 4 times a day] for my FMS, plus all my pain meds. Soma really helps me. Tried Flexeril to begin with and that didn't work for me; but it does work very well for others. {{{and pain-free wishes}}} Carol " In the little decisions of life, follow your mind; in the big decisions of life, follow your heart.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 1999 Report Share Posted August 21, 1999 Kristi, Muscle relaxers can be very helpful for fms patients. The most commonly used are Flexeril, Soma, Baclofen, and Robaxin. I personally have found Soma to be the best. Gentle hugs, Fern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 1999 Report Share Posted August 23, 1999 I agree with you Fern that If they take my Soma away I'm in agony, and it takes almost 2 times the pain meds to get the muscular pain to calm down.
