Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Hi fellow Fibro survivors! Thanks for letting me join your group! I was dx'd with FMS about 1 1/2 years ago, and that was finally after a year of outrageous tests (which I'm sure all of you have had to endure at one time or another). I used to be in constant pain, with flares that resembled heart attacks, but in the last 6 months have been almost pain free. My rhuematologist prescribed Neurontin for me, which has helped considerably with the back pain I was experiencing. And then for the days when I have really bad flares, he had the druggist mix up a cream that consists of two muscle relaxers and a nerve stimulint. I don't know if anyone else out there has tried something similiar, but I love my dr for trying this out on me, because it's worked wonders! I look forward to all your messages, as sharing is the only way to find out more about our illness. Again, thanks for allowing me to join in with you fellow FMS survivors!
