A Rheumatologist, who I first saw for chronic pain, prescribed Ultram for my pain. Unfortunately, I experienced 0 pain relief. He was not sure of my diagnosis and sent me to Mayo Clinic which diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. That was the beginning of my hell because it rapidly spread to every part of my body except for my face, the front of my torso, and feet. The pain was excrutiating and severe. I eventually found a Pain Management Specialist (after attending a chronic pain program which was a bust). She prescribed Methadone which worked well and enabled me to focus and concentrate at work.

Today, the Fibromyalgia is gone... woooo hoooo. I do have chronic pain today but it is due to degenerating facet joints in my lumbar spine. I take Suboxone for the pain and undergo Rhizotomy (severing of the peripheral nerves of the lumbar spine) every 10+ months.

If you are interested how I was "cured" of FM. let me know. I have nothing to sell; just info to share.

Hope your doctor finds a med that helps.
