Hi Marcine, I personally haven't tried Zapain, which is a combination of paracetamol and codeine for pain control and what works for you is a very individual thing, could I ask if you have been referred to a pain clinic of any description . There are other drugs that can be useful for Fibro sufferers such as Gabapentin or Pregabalin , perhaps that is an avenue you could look into. Amitriptyline is something else which some people find helps, both with sleep and with pain management, but as I said, it's not a one size fits all problem.

I would certainly go and speak with your GP again and make him aware that the Tramadol and morphine is not working for you, there are most certainly other drugs out there that can help with your fibro symptoms.

Welcome to the site though it is one of the very best, with people who have a wealth of knowledge and experience which they are happy to share :-) We also have some more light hearted posts which can help take your mind off things if you are having a rough spell. :-)

I understand how you must be feeling, being sleep deprived is almost torture, I've been there, done that and wear the tee shirt, almost made an art form of it ! However, as in my earlier reply, I really would urge you to go and speak with your GP about this and find if there is something that can be done to help you, you can't go on like this, especially not when you have a 9 year old requiring your attention and help !

I'm sending lots of positive healing vibes your way :-)

Like you Marcine, I'm finding it difficult getting anything that works for my pain. I can't take the usual meds because of the meds I already take. I've tried Zapain, Tramadol, Amytrp, Codeine and nothing touches it!! XX
