I hear that lizardlady same for me my pain wakes me up at night to and I agree I am so glad we have this thread and I hate when I comeplane a lot about my fibro flareing here but everyone here understand .

just got back from pain management doctor and he seen how much I am suffering because of this bronchitis and because this fibro flare he put me back on vicodin short term but that's ok I did not even ask him and he said I will put you back on vicodin to get you through this which I got it filled and took one and took a tramadol was it and its working thank goodness for the pain.

my pain was a 9 when I went and he could really tell I could barly walk and stand when he was feeling my back and he could tell I was really tender to in my lower back he says that fibro flare which is true .

I told him its not just my back its my whole body he could tell that to I am happy I did not have to ask for the vicodin I don't like asking for it because that makes me look bad .

the coughing is still bad but since I took the vicodin its calming this cough down to and he told me try not to take it every day it says every 8 hours as needed but he said take it as needed but try not to take it everyday just when I really needed it .

which I think I can maybe get through tomorrow without taking or atleast going to try to because he don't want me taking it everyday and I got to listen to him my pain level right now went from a 9 to a 3 or 4 which its better then being at a 9

he said since my pain is a 9 he would do the vicodin short term which like I said its fine because it helps me
