Re: Fibromylagia to Jeannine

Hi Louie...sorry to be so late in getting back to the list. It's

been a busy week. I probably would not have been any help with your

questions for your doctor....

I am one of the more fortunate ones with FM and pancreatitis as

neither illness has progressed to the point of keeping me from

working and I seldom actually miss work days because of either illness

....I have missed due to sinusitis and migraines, but usually I can

tough it out with the FM. I have only had 4 serious panc attacks and

only the first one resulted in me being admitted to the hospital.

I take Zanaflex at night to help me sleep...it's a muscle relaxant so

it helps with the pain also. If I am having a particularly tough day

with my pain I have Vicodin, but I do not need to use it much. I have

Fiorinal for my migraines but since I have been on Propanolol for

several months now I have not been having the migraines as much. This

is a blood pressure medication. I take the smallest dose twice a day.

Hope you got some answers...
