Just need to sleep.

[Skyla2]

Feeling really sorry for myself tonight and just need some fibro friends, I’m soooo tired but my legs are going mad like electric shocks going up and down, and my backs going into spasms, I’m in so much pain even after taking paracetamol, tramadol,amitriptyline,and pregabalin, has anybody been given any morphine tablets: patches for their fibro, my doc says it’s not given to fibro patients??. And has anyone used cbd oil.does that help or not, I’m up for trying anything, because I feel like Ive just had enough to be honest, I miss the old me I don’t want to live in pain for the rest of my life.its just to much..

Morning, hope you got some rest.

I'd be worried taking so many drugs... Tramadol was the worst drug I've ever been prescribed and definitely did not help me with any sleep.

I'd ask for a complete, holistic review.

I went cold turkey and was bad for a 5/6days, but so much better without drugs.

Good luck

[Matrix in reply to moo196]

I’m withdrawing from drugs at the mo . Went cold turkey with amitriptyline because of what I heard on tv 📺 it causes 30% more chance of dementia shocked me been on it 20 years . X🤗😇

[Horsesgalore]

I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I take nortriptyline at night, I also take tramadol, but I use the slow release version which I find works so much better along with paracetamol, but I don't take it every day, only when I really can't manage. I've been using CBD oil, drops under my tongue & I'm finding it very helpful, I got mine from CBD brothers. I also use wheat pads you heat up in the microwave, TENs machine & Epsom salt baths to help. I also do some exercise every day, however gentle as it really does help. Take care.

[Skyla2 in reply to Horsesgalore]

Thank you so much for your very helpful. Reply, I’m going to try the CBD oil and I have been told about CBD brother, trust me I would smoke cannabis if it didn’t get me stoned,😂..

Hi I am exactly the same not had a nights sleep all week I rang surgery at eight this morning so happy got appointment for later today I just can't cope with not sleeping .

[Skyla2 in reply to Pbyllis]

That’s good you managed to get in to the docs so early I have waited 10 days before to see mine, good luck, and let me know how you get on.

[Lulububs]

I just read ur story and i was just gona suggest cbd oil.

I have been using it since January and it amazing stuff if u get the descent stuff if u dont it useless.

I buy mine from the netherlands and it is expensive but it good and i have tried some that just made no difference whatsoever.

The restless leg and lack of sleep was my major problem and alot of joint pain and i more or less can get a good 6-8 hours now and im walking alot in day now ( aswell as work full time).

I buy mine from cbdsense it £60 for 10ml and i put 4 drops under tongue morning and evening at first for month now i do 2 morning and evening! It fab stuff if used right and if good

[Skyla2 in reply to Lulububs]

Thank you, it’s people like you that make me feel much more positive, I’m defo going to investigate that. Xx

[Lulububs in reply to Skyla2]

Aghh thats nice, well we should all help each other out.

It hard but i also think gentle exercise helps. Im a firm believer in healthy mind healthy body and if i cant get out and at least walk or do yoga im miserable and more miserable i am the worse i feel.

I have been out today to work and walked 5.3 miles there and back and i ache big time but would i not do it ... no !!!

If u dont use it u lose it and my body actually aches more if i dont move.

It called cbdsense and the actual oil is called medihemp 10% oil 2500mg. It strong stuff but u get no effects apart from a pain relief and anti imflammatory. I do take a paracetamol a few times now and again .

I also take glucosamine it a natural way to make ur joints healthy and rejuvenate to but u must take between 1500-3000mg a

Day to make any difference

[Pbyllis in reply to Skyla2]

Hi doctor has given me ropinirole 25 mg tablets for RLS I have to pick

Cannot sleep again .

Phyllis

[Skyla2 in reply to Pbyllis]

Oh I’m praying they work for you keep me up to date., I’ve had 3hrs sleep tonight that’s about the norm.

[Matrix]

It sounds like you have RLS my friend it’s the pits I too suffer with this horrible horrible disease sometimes when it’s really I have full body RLS and that to is horrible . Morphine patches are given to fibro patients many on here have had them . CBD oil can be good for many, I take it when I’m desperate but I believe you have to work up to get maximum benefits for you have to take it a few hours before bed because it can have an effect of waking you but my friend uses it and he does good on it.

Just remember your not alone we are all here for you so chin up . I think if you can get a hobby it’s a great distraction what you must not do is sit concentrating on how bad you feel , it will not help you so where you can get out and about , do things you love and rest when you can’t . Love and hugs 🤗🦋😊😘🦋😇

[Skyla2 in reply to Matrix]

Thank you kind friend.

[Matrix in reply to Skyla2]

I know how hard it can be and especially if your having RLS as well it’s the pits. Another thing that is good for pain not RLS is magnesium spray you can buy that at H.....d and B....t if you can’t work that out pm me it’s goid if you can get it on the penny sale so you buy one get on for a penny you can get CBD oil on there too . Love and hugs xx🤗🤗🦋💕😇

[Skyla2 in reply to Matrix]

Your are an amazing help.thank you.xx

[Matrix in reply to Skyla2]

That’s ok sweetie we have all been where you are make no mistake we still suffer badly but have learnt to cope and you will too promise love and hugs xx🤗😎💕🦋😇

[Debbs73]

Hi there. Like you i take the same medication. I don't understand why your gp has said he can't give you morphine tablets or patches. As i take morphine tablets at 30mg x2 3 times a day an also morphine patches called fentyal the dose being 75 mcg. which i wear for 3 days then change them. I'd go bk to your gp and ask again. Good luck hope you get somewhere.. Be nice to know how you get on. 🤞

[Skyla2 in reply to Debbs73]

Thank you for your reply, do you have fibromyalgia?...I also have osteoarthritis but the doc still won’t give me morphine, it would brill for me if only on occasions when I have to be really busy,

[Debbs73 in reply to Skyla2]

Hiya yeah i do also have fibromyalgia have suffered for many years but finally got a diagnoses about 2 year ago. My morphine tablets are for break through pain with the patches . Are u in the UK.

[Skyla2 in reply to Debbs73]

Yes I live in Gloucestershire, I’m so in need of morphine tablets too for break through pain. I’m going to take these msgs to my docs and say to her look how many of my fibro friends are given morphine, see what she says to that.x

[Debbs73 in reply to Skyla2]

Yeah u do right taking and showing it to ya gp. Yeah when your in so much pain it's so frustrating when they don't work properly.Could u not ask for a second opimion and see a different doctor. Have u thought about trying cbd oil. Xx

[Skyla2 in reply to Debbs73]

CBD oil is defo something I’m going t o investigation, a lot of my msgs have been suggesting that. My daughter keeps telling me to move docs, but if she doesn’t listen and help me then I will defo change docs.xx

[Debbs73 in reply to Skyla2]

Yeah i would defo seek a second opinion you have every right too. One thing i will say is if you do try cbd oil have a hot drink at hand too get rid of the taste as it's rank. The first time i tried it i nearly threw up. As u put it under your tongue for a few minutes. I got mine from Holland and Barrett but you can buy it elsewhere. Keep me informed on how ya get on. Xx

[Matrix in reply to Skyla2]

Whereabouts in Gloucestershire

[Skyla2 in reply to Matrix]

Stroud..xx

[Matrix in reply to Skyla2]

I know Stroud x

[Skyla2 in reply to Matrix]

Oh that’s lovely, not many people know about this part of the country, where are you?.xx

[Jayne68]

Hello so sorry to hear you are in so much pain it’s miserable. I take oramorph. But only keep it for when pain is really bad, as if you take it regularity you have to keep upping the amount you take.

[Skyla2 in reply to Jayne68]

I think that’s what my doc is worried about, the upping of the dose, she said after morphine there’s nothing left.but it would only be when it’s really bad and especially so if I have to go to family functions etc because most of the time I’m in so much pain I just stay home.

[bobajob]

hi skyla2,i'm really sorry to hear your in s much pain my gp as given me morphine patches 25mg put two on at a time......they do work for me but I take other painkillers aswell including morphine by mouth...I think you need to visit your gp and tell them the pain you are in...all the best to you take care

BOB XX

[Skyla2]

I’m going to take my msgs from you and my other fibro friend to my docs and show her, if not I’m going to change docs, because I’m losing a bit of me every day pain is all time consuming,, xx

[Skyla2]

Your msg is a massive help to me thank you..xx, I’m defo in need of having a good think about meds, I’ve been given lots of different options to take to my doc, you and everybody who has msg me have made me feel soooo much better. Take care
