Hi Carol,

I recommended Ultram, I'm glad to hear it worked for you! I used it first

for fibro pain when I had it and was amazed at how much better I felt.

Ultimately it stopped working for me because my liver was so congested. I

used it again a few years later prior to knee surgery and it worked great

again! My dog is even on it for degenerative arthritis of his elbow. It

works wonders for him too, he is able to run agility without pain!

Carol,

I'm thrilled you are getting some relief! . . .

Sometimes those pills are what it takes!

If it's FM that's causing your pain (and it probably

is), using the periods when you have relief to stretch

the covering of your muscles, will help reduce your

pain.

With FM, the membrane that covers the muscle becomes

very tight . . . making not only the muscle, but the

joints hurt. If you can stretch this membrane, it will

eventually relax. . . Yoga is great - so is theraputic

massage. A physical therapist can show you stretches

that will help too.

FM goes hand in glove with a sleep problem. Of course,

when you're hurting you can't sleep well, and when you

can't sleep well, your muscles can't repair themselves

while your sleeping . . . It's a viscious cycle!

God Bless,

Rogene
