I've had fibro for more than 10 years now. I sleep in a electric chair because it's to painfull to sleep in bed. My left arm has been burning in pain steady for about 2 years now. I keep asking my doctor to cut it off. You have to find a doctor you are comfortable with and stick with them. I have been on just about everything so you can ask I am friendly. I was on morphine once and all I wanted was to get off it. But the pain doctor told I had to take more and more. I hated it finally he gave me a morphine pill that you take once a day and it releases the medicine throughout the day. 2 days later I was in intensive care with kidney failure. They saved me and the pain doctoer said it wasn't his fault. If you do take any kind of narcotic do not take it 3 days in a row. I know it's hard but that way it will work 2/3 of the time and you won't get addicted. It's cold here and the cold always hurts me bad so i'm not feeling so hot today. But it's my not to take a vicodin so I will not. I will have to rely on biofeedback to get through the day and not go out.
