Re: Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and meds

[Guest guest]

Well, I will say that the specialist I saw at VA n, ILL took me completely

off the Hydrocodone. I now have a T.E.N.S. unit which as far as focusing is

extremely better times ten fold!

Second, from two twenty five mg to three hundred mg is the dosage of Lyrica that

I am supposed to take. However, managing the swelling, and pain is what my task

is on a day to day.

Albeit, I do believe from experience that excessive and constant stress is part

of the chemical imbalance with having Fibromyalgia. Just finding the correct

dosage, and treatment for each individual is key.

Since it has been more than 21 years for me dealing with this, and having a

diagnosis for about eight years finding a balance is what I am seeking for pain

resolution. So the T.E.N.S. machine. Water and massage therapy, plus Lyrica is

what I am trying now.

p.s. Gabapentin upset my stomach and just wasn't for me!
