I'm not sure what meds you have tried for the pain but
I've had very good luck with a combo of Duragesic (fentanyl)patch and oxycodone. These have saved my life as before them I didnt think I could go on.
I hope things get better for you very soon!

So glad to have you here. You will find the much needed support here. So glad you find this wonderful site. WELCOME!!
I was dx with FM in 2000 but have suffered with it since 1987. I also suffer from severe TMJ with which I have had two surgeries and need another, I have two ruptured discs in my back, sciatica, hypothyroidism, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and the many horrible symptoms that go with all of this. I take vicoprofen and topamax, I try to exercise 3x a week, eat as healthy as I can (of course I cheat too much), drink lots of water and get rest (who am I kidding, I sleep less than 3 hours a day).
Again, welcome. I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Fibrosmile, nice name! Sorry you are feeling so bad, and hope you have a better day today.

The brain fog is the pits, I hate it as much as the pain.

Glad you found the board, and look forward to hearing more from you in the future.....

Shalom, Shirl
