Re: Question about Flexeril

[Guest guest]

Dear Kaylene, Hope you're well hon, and thanks for the info. Getting valium

down here is like pulling teeth! But armed with this info I will try. I just

don't understand, though. It seemed like it was one of the few drugs that was

not giving me grief. Well, just one more hurdle in the lovely world of Fibro!!

God bless, Robbie
