"My mother is dealing with chronic pain and has fibromyalgia" (worrieddaughter09)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

tramadol is ultram, and is also in ultracet, which is tramadol plus Tylenol. I took it after some dental procedure. It did take the edge off of the pain, but made me drowsy and I felt weird. I didn't like it...

That is one of the only meds I took for pain that I didn't have a reaction to except being sleepy. It didn't touch the pain though. I hope you can find something.

I take Tramadol 6 times a day and also a Flexeril. This combination works very well for me. I still have pain but its pain i can relatively stand for awhile. I do get sleepy but im not sure if its because of the meds or chronic fatigue i also have. Everyday i take a 5 hr energy drink and that seems to help.

Hugs, Alicia
