blimey loz are you within the world at any time,sounds enough their to knock a horse out,i feel for you ,i bet this affects your appetite,is there any room for food.I hate taking tablets so every time i go to doctors i know it's going to be extra tablets,i suppose there's nothing else they can offer.I would be very worried about the amount you are taking,but you know your own body and what it needs.Yours jacksiex

too many! and to be honest after speaking to a Dr today it's possibly even the combination of our meds that make some of the symptoms worse.

it can't be taken as read as we are all on different meds and different doses and to be honest..... it depresses me to count, so I don't xx

Co-codamol 30/500 - up to maximum of 8 tablets per day

Methocarbamol - 2 x 750mg daily (I can take this dose x3 daily, if needed)

I recently stopped taking 75mg Amitriptyline daily. I found I was worse taking Amitriptyline, it made my RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) go through the roof too and didn't help my Fibromyalgia at all.

I only take pain relief for my Fibromyalgia now and feel much better for it not taking so many pills. I used to take Tramadol, Hydroxychloroquinine and Dosulepin as well as all of the above.

None fir fibro !!! Except for the occassional painkiller - wish I cud tell you its because im pain free cured or just an amazing person who can manage this illness by sheer will power; but unfortunetly its due to a combination of pigheadedness to ignore the fact I have a health condition and having a gp who doesnt really know much about fibro and thetreatments available.

I am on:-

Allopurinol(Gout), Amittiptyline(Fibro), Clonodine(Hot flushes), Furosemide(Water retention), Lansaprazole(ulcers & IBS), Loratadine(Allergies) ,Mometasone(Keep nose clear or cannot breathe), Salbutamol(COPD), Serc(Balance issues), Spiriva,(COPD/Emphysema) & Sumatriptan(Cluster headaches & Hemiplegic Migraines).

As you can see I am not on any pain meds for Fibro, at times I hate that fact but other times I am fine about it xxxxx

[Angeldancea812]

Allopurinol 300mg x1 (Gout)

Naproxen 500mg x2 (Pain)

Rabeprazole 10mg x1 (stop stomach bleeding, hopefully)

Salmeterol - inhaler (Asthma)

Simvastatin 40mg x1 (Cholesterol)

Telfast 120mg x1 (Hayfever)

Tramadol 50mg x 4 (Pain) Can't take more or very woozy

Venlalic 75mg x2 (Depression)

Ventolin - inhaler (asthma)

It makes me laugh when I get told I don't look ill. I take that lot because they help me not have pain and give some semblance of happiness to my life.
