In the late 1990s I was dx'ed with Fibromyalgia and Degenerative bone & disc disease. I've tried every pain killer there is, until my Dr. suggested Methadone. It has been the one thing that has kept me sane..and has given me back some quality of life. I am now walking without a cane. I was also dx'ed bipolar and schizophrenic by my Psychiatrist. After shifting around on my psych meds..my Doc added Cymbalta. Seems it works well for folks suffering from chronic pain.

Please consider giving Methadone a try. More and more pain drs are considering this drug that has been around for quite awhile. It is also very inexpensive -for those that don't have RX drug coverage.

Take care! dottie
