Hi, I have had fibro for at least 12 years. If your not getting relief go to another dr. I ran into the same issues. There is such a stigma about pain meds ( because of abusers, damn them). I now take percocet, fentynal patches, trazadone, flexeral, lexapro. It took 8 yrs to get this far and that is bullshit. I take my meds religiously the right amount, and maybe my body is addicted, but I only take them as prescribed. I can finally get out of my bed and worked for 14 yrs @ 40 hrs or more per week. People need to understand, if your taking them long enough, there is NO high involved just so relief for coping. Massage also helps short term. I pray to god everyday to left me live the last half of my life pain free. I would also take advice. Remember, dont give up on yourself, because you have to fight hard through all the prescription pain med addiction stories. I have never had to ask for my meds early because I took too many. I am very depressed sometimes, but I pray they will find a cure. Keep hope & faith.
