Thanks for your advise I'll have to try some then.

Yes the meds do help, before I could barely sit down comfortably. now I'm

actually cleaning the house again. Yeah!

And the kids are back in school so I can take as mant breaks as I need to and

no extra hands getting into things.<smile>

Thank You so much!

Hi Kim:

I am sorry for your possible dx of fibromyalgia - I

have it, and I know that the pain it can cause is

unbelievable. I also take Zanaflex and Ultram ER -

the Zanaflex definately should help with your sleep,

and the Ultram will take the edge off my pain and

allow me to do what I need to daily. I hope it helps

you too. I don't think we are every truly painfree -

either with the RA or fibro, unfortunately, and with

your disc problems too, I imagine you are very well

acquainted with chronic pain.

My daughter has carpal tunnel in both wrists, and has

gotten good relief in wearing wrist splints during the

night. She used to wake up in sooo much pain, and her

hands would be numb, and now, by keeping her wrists in

the proper position during the night, in the splints,

she has had a great reduction in her carpal tunnel

symptoms. Might be something for you to try too -
