Hi all, I'd like to start by saying I apologise for not replying to everybody as I just feel so sore and drained, been to the doctors and I've had an allergic reaction to my medication for fibromyalgia 😒. So now I have to go without until it clears up πŸ‘Ž it helps me sleep helps depression and it's a painkiller so I don't know how I'll. Open without it I'm feeling so down at the moment I can't even walk I'm frightened because I ended up in hospital last time I was this bad.. I just don't know what to do x

Hi X-Jojom-X wow poor you, that looks really angry & sore. What a nightmare for you. Surely there must be something else they can give you, it's a bit much. Do you use a tens machine or have any alternative therapy you could use for the pain ?. Maybe going to hospital may not be a bad thing, they may be able to try you on other medication, they won't leave you in pain. I surpose he's thinking.if your allergic to that medication you may be allergic to others. It must be very stressful my friend & i do feel for you & if you want to chat please pm me.

Peace, luv n light

Hi X-Jojom-X, what were the drugs? Looks so sore behind your ears you poor thing.

I was allergic to several tablets before I finally got on with a very low dose of Pregabalin which helps the pain a little but not the sleep. I took antihistamine to reduce the swelling and allergy effects.

I hope this episode resolves quickly for you. Stay strong xxx

Hi hun- I had this reaction to pregab & gabapent, our bloods and constitution differ so much its trial and error to find a medication that helps us, maybe try using some SKIN antihistamines to clear out your blood of this toxin, I had this rash like yours all over my face which itched like mad!! Speak to your pharmacist they are usually brilliant ,suggest Loratidine to clear you up!
