Pain

[Chirnie]

Hi everyone

Lately I have been getting a lot of muscle cramps and muscle

Pain . I'm also jumping around like a lunitic on a nighttime whilst trying to get to sleep. Can any recommend any medication that would help with either of these

Thanks and hugs x

So sorry to hear you in so much pain. I take a number of meds but none work with this type of pain.

Suggest telephone your doctor for advice as they will understand which meds you can take.

I find standing in shower gradually changing the temp from very warm to cool can calm the nerves a little at times like these, even only for half-hour

Wishing you less pain as day progresses.

Take care PLMI x

My family doc put me on Elavil (amitriptyline) for the fibro and to help with my sleeping. I started on 25mg and then moved up to 50mg and it does seem to help me get to sleep, although for some reason I have to take it like 4 hours before bedtime for it to work.

I'm also on cpap for a mild sleep apnea, although my wife says I still have muscle spasms in my sleep that don't wake me up. She says it's like I'm having a seizure :/

Thanks so much for your replies I'm going to speak to my gp

You could try asking your GP for something like Baclofen.

I've never heard if it but I will defo look into it . She has prescribed me with oral morphine but I'm unsure of taking it x

No medication advice but an electric heat pad has worked wonders for my muscle pain in a way that my meds just can't. The best £30 ever spent! Hope you find some relief soon.

Oh I will look into that for sure . My GP has given me oral morphine Bynum a bit wary of taking it x

Hi Chirnie

I am so sorry to read that you are suffering so badly and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue. I have pasted you a couple of links relating to Fibro treatments, so you will have some information in your locker for when you see your GP:

I genuinely hope that you find the links useful, and that you can get a good idea of what you may need from these? I also want to wish you all the best of luck with finding the answers that you so desperately desire and deserve.

All my hopes and dreams for you
