Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hello my name is , I am 24 and live in Petaluma, CA with my boyfriend Joe, my sister Stefanie and my dog Haus... oh ya and occasionally my moms dog Charlie :-) I have been on disability for a little over a year because of severe migraines, carpal tunnel, and PTSD. I have had migraines for a long time.. I also always had some unexplained pain, symptoms.. that I have now found answers for. I was searching online and a friend said maybe you have fibro??? And wouldn't you know I am a poster child. The doc said yes you definitely have it. Sooooo... I am going in for a doctors appointment next Wednesday. And I am making a list of possible meds I would like to try. I have daily VERY bad pain, as everyone else on this list I am sure. I am going to request Fentanyl for daily chronic pain.. does anyone have any suggestions?? I take 30mg Prozac, 100 mg Trazadone, 2400 mg Motrin, 10 - 20 mg Flexeril, 30 mg Buspar, 80 - 160 mg Lasix, 40 mg Protonix, BC pill, and Beconase on a daily basis. I also take Imitrex or DHE 45, Vicodin or Percocet, and Phenergan for migraines. I really look forward to hearing about other peoples experiences. And especially any advice about treatments, be it medical, holistic, etc.. I am hoping to be able to start back to work P/T maybe 10 - 15 hours a week. I am very lucky that I have long term disability for about 15 more months. Thank you for being here for me to join and nice meeting you all.

You will find some amazing and helpful people here. As far as pain goes, I know a lot of people are taking Oxycontin. I also do and it has been a life saver. Where are you from? Fibro is a difficult battle both physically and mentally. We all try to help each other. If I didn't find this group, I think I would have convinced myself that I was losing it. The Fibro fog is awful, I can't remembrt anything. I used to have a fantastic memory, not any more. I know if I didn't belong to this list, I would be at the doctor 's everyday. I hope you have a stressless weekend with no pain, HUUGZ Kathy D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
