Are you on any regular pain meds&do you have a Dr that specializes in the treatment of fibromyalgia? I see a rheumatologist&he's helped to a certain extent. My pain is only 50% controlled&my Dr seems to find this acceptable, but I don't&I can't afford to go to the ER when I have an especially bad day. I know someone else who has fibromyalgia that gets 2400mg of morphine&9 Percocets a day. That's way too much! I'm stuck w/the same pain med that I've been on since 1997-Vicodin. It's better than nothing, but not really helpful. Have you found any coping skills that work or a daily routine of how much activity you engage in or maybe even some excercises that help relieve the pain? I'd love to hear any suggestions that anyone may have.
