Hi I have Fibromyalgia been diagnosed for 10 years but may have had it from the age of 10, I am 41 years old now.
This week has been really bad having a bad flare-up, in chronic widespread pain but most is lower back and hips. Also feel like I have the flu bad fatigue, head aches.
Pain relieve I have is Butrans Buprenorphine Patch 40mg for 7 days, these now are not touching the pain is anybody on any better pain killers.

Please can anyone help.

I'm sorry I can't be of any help with regard to this. But I wanted to mention, in case you are not aware, PsychCentral has a sister website: "NeuroTalk". There are a lot of members there who are knowledgeable with regard to a wide range of medical conditions. It might be worthwhile to take a look at the forums on NT & see if there might be something that would be of benefit. Here's a link:

We have an entire thread for folks with fibro. PC is a wonderful place, but the folks who post in the fibro thread are extra nice. They will have good suggestions for you. In my case heat helps with my fibro pain. I use rice packs I heat in the microwave or wrap up in a heated throw.

The thread I mentioned can be found here:

Yes, you're definitely not alone. I take Cymbalta, which helps some. The fibro thread Liz mentioned is very supportive.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
