I currently take

Cymbalta(I get the generic from Canada, what a joke FDA) 120mg for fibro. it would cost 400.00 a month here

Gabapentin 600mg 3 x day for nerve pain

Viibryd new 8th day 20mg for depression anxiety

Temazepam 30 mg for insomnia

Prevacid 30mg for ulcers

Sucralfate for ulcers

Dicyclomine 10mg for ibs

Nasonex for sinus

Symbicort for that cough that comes sometimes

It seems like I've tried everything. Even the guifassian decongestant therapy. Opiates. Every muscle relaxant made

Still in constant pain. Suicidal thoughts but would not act on bc of family. Unable to work. life changing event...not fair!

Does it seem to anyone else that things work great the first 2-5 times and then nothing? Or is that just me?

Re: suicide thoughts; try to change your outlook...that's what I do. I set mini goals for myself...even if it's "dusting one room"...I make sure I accomplish it, and then reward myself by reading a good book, standing on my front porch and watching a sunset, or taking a bubble bath with candles in the room.

Yes, Life is rough for fibro patients...but it's only as difficult as we make it; we CAN change the way we think about things. Instead of thinking about our misery, think about the slightest good thing...."pretty eyes", "nice smile", "make people laugh" You have it in you, Jackie, you're just not looking deep enough.

I have fibro plus 5 back surgeries that didn't help: plus a hip replacement that's crooked...am in constant pain, but I keep myself busy. I find forums where I can give others encouragement. When you try to help someone else, your problems seems to go i n the background.

Good luck!
