HiPls can u tell me what in your experience you find is the best pain relief for your fibro..I had to come off gabapentin which I had along with Co-codamol 30/500 and celecoxcib which I was already taking for my osteoarthritis and facet joint arthritis in my lower back as I couldn't function at wrk. The fatigue I had was on another level, so I can now function but I am in so much pain with my fibro on top of my arthritis it's untrue! Iv been told that if I moan too much about my fibro pain they may even take me off the meds I'm currently on! So I'm scared to ask? Iv been told to ask if I can go on duloxetine to help with the pain and fatigue? Can anyone else recommend this to help with the muscle pain and fatigue??

Hi, sorry to hear your in great pain! I find trying to get help is difficult 😕 I'm on Duloxitine and codeine

The Duloxitine has helped me personally and I seen a top doctor at a hospital (for a different matter) and he spoke about my fibo and said he believes that Duloxitine is definitely a good medicine for fibo. I try to only take codeine when I'm having a bad day.
