Sharon, what meds have you tried?

[ ] New comer ? ideas

I see alot of this group is RA, which I suffer with as I call my 2nd dignoise,

since it is not been my #1 pain I don't believe at this time but fibromyalgia.

Since I have been extremly sensitive to most of the meds they have tried me on

and had to D/C, I have really been in terrible trouble, it takes me along time

to get moving then once I do am afraid to sit back down as I have trouble

getting going all over again!, yet if I don't rest I pay for it the next day and

several after. I use to clean my house in an hr now all day! I was wondering I

have tried everything PT,OT, swim, massage, and accupuncture, which has been the

best, I just can't afford it. But I do believe in keep moving or u will lose it,

has anyone tried yoga, and or pilates and wonder how they have done with that?

Let me see, don't know if I will remember all without getting out old med list.

I have been on celebrex, vioxx, cymbalta, zxprexia, sclexian, Methamextrate,

folic acid, paxil, flexeril, ultram, some different antiflammitory drugs which

did not help,had no side effects except some stomach upset, so gastro d/c he

said these type meds are the worse for digestive problems which I suffer from

greatly. I recently was taken off of effexor after 4mo. which I belive helped,

they have put me on different antideppressants to try and get me pain relief not

for depression, as up until just real recent, have I been depressed, and not

bad, I am more discouraged, that I can't do anything without suffering

consequences the next day, the simpleist tasks are now almost deadly!, they lay

me up for a week or better, this is the bothersome stuff, on top of PAIN 24/7,

that has come back with a vengence since stopping the effexor, I am tempted to

go back to it, but have been told I should not as

the side effects will come back. I believe there are a few other meds I have

been on and had to stop. One was a old old time med that is hardly used anymore

my Rhuemo thought it worth a shot, and hope for it to work, it didn't. I am

really sensitive to alot of used drugs. I have a really smart well known Rhuemo

who people travel from other states to see, luckily her mother was my

peditrician, and she is my mom's Dr, also so she saw me, but she admits I am a

tough one. Any thought u may have on relief or just a e-mail here and there at

this point helps am really lifted that I decided to seek a group, since I have

pretty much been home bound for over a month, I can not get around by myself

right now, and have been very bored, and discouraged that day after day is going

by with my not being able to do what I did a yr ago. Right now I am on soma

x3 a day, vicoin p r n which has been turning into ABC, which I worry about, as

I can not get out of pain and more areas

involved of my body. I have ambien for sleep but don't use much as still don't

sleep, that is part of it, tired all the time, but don't sleep maybe 3 hrs

interuppted too. Thanks for any suggests
