Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Goodness. I know you must be in agony. I hurt most of the time even with hydrocodone. I can't imagine. I know that this illness did not cause me real pain until about 4 years ago. Ever since, I have been taking something prescribed. Mine started for years with the exhaustion, fibro fog, and numbness and tingling in the fingers. The real pain did not set in until years later. Probably one reason I never knew I had anything. I thought the numbness and tingling was carpal tunnel. I just thought I required more sleep than others or was over stressed... that is how I explained away the exhaustion. But when this disease went full blown about 4 years ago.... I HAVE NEVER been the same again. I hope you find a doctor who can help you. I know I tried aleve, advil, tylenol, ibuprofen and everything possible over the counter and it did not help this kind of pain. Take care friend, Debra V. debra bunt wrote: Debi I wish I could answer this question for you. I have not been given any type of pain medication as of yet. I suffer each day and only have Aleve to take. My days are long and my nights are even longer. May God Bless You!

As long as you aren't exceeding the daily allowed dose, then you are fine. It's when you have to do like me and take more than the daily dose that the docs frown and get strict about how they will prescribe it. Love and hugs, Debi/So.
