He said that he didn't prescribe pain killers for Fibromites either....I found me another Rheumy....but I'm not completely satisfied with her either....I'm on another search....but don't give up...if you have to drive 3 or 4 hours its well worth it believe me....to have a doctor tell you its in your head or you are the way you are because you need to loose weight is B.S. I think the fact that I like fine to people and 95% of all the people involved in my life doesn't believe I have this disease and that there is something wrong with me. Something else I did when I 1st was having this problem was I took 800 mg of Ibprofen I just took 8 tablets of 100 mg. Ibprofen. My family doctor said it was the samething as the prescribed IB 800. IB has an anti-inflammitory in it and it also helps with pain. Something else you could try is the rice socks. Get you some tube socks and put the " OLD STYLE RICE " in the tube socks.Don't buy minute rice make sure its the hard rice... Put the sock in the microwave for 2 min. on high and then lay them wherever you hurt....I like like one big human sock believe me....lol I also used Tylenol Arthritis alot....I hope these idea's are somewhat helpful. At least until you can get to a Rheumy that knows about FMS/CFS. Lots of hugzzz and prayers Allicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
