Hello

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is and I was diagnosed with FMS six months ago. I

learned about your group from a member of a support group in my

hometown.

I know that FMS won't just " go away " but that it can be mangaged. My

doctor has given me Darvocet to take at the beginning of a flare up,

but they make be drowsey so I hesitate to take them if I am at work

or at home with my two year old son (kind of limits the time I can

take them, huh?) He also perscibed Amitriptyline to help me sleep,

but I wake up groggy and sometimes I don't hear my son at night

(until he comes and taps me on the head and wakes me up), so I'm

thinking of asking for a different medication. I know that different

medications work for some but not others, but is there anything out

there that won't leave me groggy in the morning? Thankfully, I don't

seem to be having such severe pain now that the warmer weather is

finally here (NYS weather has a mind of it's own), but I still have

my bad days.

Well, thank's for your time.
