 I think you need to make sure you tell him your symptoms. Make sure he understands fibro. If there isnt anything at all for pain - muscle relaxant, lyrica or neurontin(both are for samething) they dont know fibro. If it is something else Im not sure. Good luck
I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.
