Experiences with

Relaxin

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia after all my other tests came back without much abnormal results. I have been in a crazy amount of pain since December. I currently 60 MG of cymbalta, 1000 mg of robaxin 4 times a day and 300 MG of gabapentin 2 times a day. I am not getting much pain relief

I feel for everyone toting this dreadful illness. I was diagnosed at 30 and osteo arthritis was a second diagnosis at the same time. Stress does not help, but the foggiest memory creates stress. When you've always been sharp and then things change for the worse, it is hard to embrace. I was hit as

Hi I'm new. But not new to fibromyalgia. Diagnosed 15 years ago. Now diagnosed with osteoarthritis pretty much everywhere. Greatest challenge besides the obvious has been medications. Lyrica? I'm allergic. Cymbalta? Makes me bitchy. Elavil? Made me gain 15 lbs which makes pain worse. Gabapentin? Makes

I have reached out here as we have no where else left. My husband has had issues with pain for many years but it had been manageable with quality of life. It has now been chronic for two years, since April 2015. He can no longer function, work or play with his kids. I have become the full time carer

Hello all. Has anyone taken Robaxin and seemed to get a very thick head afterwards. Does Robaxin have any side affects. Please can someone help me with some information about this. The thing is i really need to take Robaxin or is there something else i can take maybe thats natural so as not to get any

I've had APS for nearly 30 years and been on Warfarin for about the last 20. Recently, I have terrible pain in my left arm keeping me up at night. Cervical X Ray shows narrowing but not unusual for a woman of 52. Taking Robaxin doesn't help much at all. Went to a chiropractor who said I have a

Hi Back pain for 10 years and had a major flare up after a fall on a wet floor back in May. GP etc not taking pain seriously as I have been through it before and it will just take time! Long story-short after long waiting list physio took one look at me and sent me to A & E with hope of MRI. Another

It happens when I relaxin the evening and when I am on a long journey in the car.   I was reading about the biglycerate and was thinking I would try it but unsure of what to buy. On the forum I can see there is iron biglycerate and magnesium.  

Hi Everyone, I am taking quite a few medications and I have been putting on a lot of weight lately. I am trying to figure out which one of these medications could be causing that if it anyone would be able to help. Below are a list of the medications that i currently take: Spironolactone Metatoprolol

Every night when i go to bed i have to sleep on either one of my sides because i can not sleep on my back with out waking up in horrible pain and stiffness. I was told that it was from the fibromyalgia and that there was nothing that i can do about it. I hate waking up like this. I am currently on savelle

I went and saw my pain mamanagement doctor yesterday and he changed my muscle relaxer to baclofen. Has anyone used this and what do you think about it. I was on robaxin before and was growing immune to it.

Hi everyone, some of you may remember I posted a few months ago regarding sciatica , I had been having problems over a few months which my GP was treating as sciatica , went through all the different treatments, Robaxin , Gabapentin, and Amitrptyline along with painkillers and eventually ended up on

Been on various drugs, robaxin, gabapentinetc with no ease

Well, it's not the med I asked for, but hopefully it's the med I need. I asked the doctor to try skelaxin, but he said that wasn't good for long term use. As aways, will let you know how it goes.

So this week I'm trying codeine and/or ambien. The codeine is 15 mg and seems to have no real effect (there might be a slight effect) and whatever it does doesn't last very long (seems to wear off after an hour), also gave me head aches. I think I actually slept better on the ambien (didn't feel as groggy

Because of the release of the hormone relaxin during pregnancy, some ligaments and tendons might soften. This will make you more vulnerable to injury, especially around your pelvis.

Well I went for my appointment with my doctor this afternoon to tell him about my chest pains. He assured me it was all down to the fibro, he listened to my heart and said it was fine. I came away with some Robaxin to try and some Laxido (co-codomol bunging me up :( ) I take trazodone at night but

Try not to sit with your legs crossed as this will put a twist through your low back and pelvis, which if you are still breastfeeding are still vulnerable due to the high levels of a hormone known as relaxin.
