 Hi welcome to our Fibro family. Unfortunately I havent had anything that works for me yet. I was given Lyrica for the Fibro and it seems to have made me feel alot worse. You should discuss this with your doctor and hopefully you can find one or a combination of medicine that works well for you, sometimes it's a hit and miss situation. I'm sorry, I know what your going through as well, I'll pray for you to find some relief. sorry I couldn't be of much help.

 Hi and welcome! I too can't offer much help because every medication other than percocet that I've tried either doesn't work on the pain or I'm sensative to it and have to give up on it within a matter of days. i will tell you that there is a book called Fibromyalgia for Dummies that I've seen a lot of posts suggesting. There are also some websites by different associations who work with fibro.

Here are all the sites I've found in my searches. Hope they help a little:
