Guest guest Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 Roe I did the same thing with Flexeril just to try to sleep and get relief and I finally went to see a Neurologist and she put me on an anti depressant doxipin and a seizure drug Neurontin and a muscle relaxer called Zanaflex and I take it and most nights I am out but I do have my nights and I still have the pain it is bad in my neck and shoulders and hips area and the thought of surgery next week with this mess tears me up TN Re: Fibromyalgia > No Ethel, it's not you.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Dear , I will pray that your fibro flare from your upcoming hernia repair will be shortlived.. and not too severe. I have extreme empathy for what you will be going through in a few days.. I am going through a really bad night with fibro flaring.. I cant turn my head to the left without excruciating pain.. I usually dont take pain meds but had to resort to the vicodin tonight.. and I am feeling a bit better now. I had a rough week at work.. I worked a total of 47.45 hours this week.. so I am really exhausted .. I am happy that I have tomorrow off and many less hours scheduled this coming work week.. Take care.. I hope to see my granddaughter more this week.. She is going to her first pediatrician visit on Tuesday and Hanna returns to the OB doctor for her first follow up appt next Tuesday.. I think I am gonna go and lie down and rest .. Nite nite Hugs, from GA open RNY 12/12/00 Revision 04/18/01 Revision 02/07/02 St wt.... 392 Cw.......187 Wt loss..-205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Dear Ethel, I had never heard of Flexall 454 cream before.. is this an OTC cream you purchase at a pharmacy? If so, I will get some tomorrow and have on hand for the next time I need something.. I had this same thing happen a couple weeks ago, and my massage therapist worked on me after hours one night.. boy, did that ever help too.. Take care.. and thanks!!!
