I know when I had a urinary tract infection and the hospital wrote me out a prescription for Hydrocodones that I ended up using them for my fibro pain instead of UTI pain and it was the best week I had in more than a year.

I just thought I would bring this question to a place that I know people will give me real answers.

Are you on a pain med. for he Fibro and if so what is it and do you think it works?

A BIG thanks to all that reply

I think all meds for fibro are on an individual bases...meaning it may work for one and not another or it may work on some symtoms... I use provigil and Suboxone and I am the most comfortable I have been in 10yrs........ where Lyrica and cembalta..I can't spell... do not work for me ... and now after being on all this stuff for 10 yrs I am allergic to almost all pain narcotics......... So my way to put this is ....

It is individual results... one might work for one and not for someone else

I can't take Cymbalta because I have a bad reaction with it. I can't take Lyrica because I have chronic dizziness and this stuff makes it really bad. I could take the Tramadol, but it did nothing for my pain at all I was on the Tramadol for more than a month waiting for the pain to ease up and it never did.

I have not gotten to try the Provigil or Suboxone. I go to the pain clinic next month, but to tell you the truth I'm tired of trying things that don't help or make me sick. I also have IBS and it also makes it hard to tolerate some meds.

I'm also allergic to codiene but can take semi-synthetic codiene (not sure what the difference is but thats how it was explained to me) so I'm assuming my options in narcotic pain meds is very limited.

I really just want to know what everyone here thinks of how their pain meds work for them. It gets very frustrating to hear people say this or that doesn't work for fibro and then read that this or that brought one person releife.

So if you think your pain meds work for you please tell.

I hope you get some relief at the pain med dr.

But, it's the best concoction any doc has come up with so far, so I'm sticking to this! I was on Oxycontin for a while....it did help with the PAIN more, but I was like a robot that didn't know which shoe to put on first...I was just soo high all of the time. And, I didn't like it!

I hope you can find something that works for you!

That's it besides Salmon oil and a healthy diet

These have worked miracles for me....have done way more for me then injections, pain pills, etc...

The best thing you can do for yourself is RESEARCH and READ!

I decided to go all natural because #1 the meds weren't helping and #2 they ALL had way too many bad side effects that were causing even MORE problems.

I have found that it is best to just do trial and error and you will find what works for you. Some have higher pain tolerance and some have lower and some fibro seems to have more pain while others seem to have severe fatigue or other symptoms, etc. You work with what you got.

I hope you find something to help. Good luck!
