Ive had fibromyalgia for many.many years. I was finally diagnosed after almost 20 years.

Great? Not really since I could get no information on it or any help with medications .

Now, there is much help and resources . I am taking low dose naltrexone, which reduces symptoms and cuts flareups by about 58%. I suggest everyone check it out.

Hoped that helped and keeping spirits up is very important. Enjoy life and search for answers. ❤️

Hi

I work in a prison in a small unit there are 3 of us that

Have this fibro, we are all on different medication

For me I have learnt to live with it I take slow release

Tramadol twice a day, it takes the edge off also cymbalta

I have tried lots of things and nothing really works,

One of the people I work with has tried naltrexone,

It is used a lot where I work as it helps to take drug

Addicts off addictive drugs. This was used for a time

By my friend for a time and it did work but not for very

Long she then went on to fentanyl patches which only

Worked for a short time. She now takes pregablin which

Does not stop all the pain only some.

I will not go into what my other work mate takes as that does

Not take all the pain either.

Off course every one is different, and I hope you continue

To be pain free, myself I'm convinced that nothing works

For me and gives me a 100 per cent pain free

I wish you the best of luck and hope you continue to be

Pain free

Hugs Viv

Hi Viv ,

Perfectly agree with you, however, if you re-read my post, I said LDN reduces flareups by about 58%. Nothing is forever,

except the disease . I can live with 1/2 the flareups, and the

duration is a few days vs. months at a time.

I'm still searching, so anything I come across , I'll spread the word. Also just read about low magnesium and inflammation.

Feel good and speak soon.❤️
