I have constant chronic pain. Definitely my back - excruciating. Pain all over my body and a strong tendency toward migraines. The pain has become so severe that it's hard to walk much of the time. I also experience extreme exhaustion. I suspect I have fibromyalgia, but haven't spoken with my GP about it because I figure she'll just blow me off and I'll feel very discouraged..."Your blood work looks fine."

My mom had fibro and my sister has it. I have been using something lately that does offer a decent amount of relief, at least for my back. It's called Topricin Fibro cream. I'm tremendously skeptical about creams and such, but this one really helps. Has a number of ingredients, including arnica and belladonna.

I hate taking NSAIDS, but oftentimes I do so. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to do anything but lie down or sit.
