Have any of you heard of or are taking LD Naltrexone? I live in Germany now and my PCP had a new patient that came from the states that told her about the med being used off label for fibro. My Dr did research and was impressed by it. I also researched it and we both thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I started 3 days ago and am experiencing some side effects that are bothersome but not horrible. I am wondering if any of you are taking it what are your experiences.
Why did the Doctor put you on this medication? What did he tell you it was for? It shows that it is to help people who need to come off opioids or alcohol. That’s confusing.🤔
I had really bad face pain since July 1st, it started with right side ear, eye, forehead and head, I got trigger point injections done for that and got some relief. Now 4 days ago I start having severe pins, needles and burning pain in my lower left side of the face, it was unbearable, I saw pain specialist and he gave me Carbamazepine 200 mg and injection in my cheek. I got relief from pain but I am dizzy, woozy, unsteady and super nauseated, very weird feeling.
I am wondering if someone else… read more

I use a computer all day at work. I'm having issues with my vision. The words will look blurry or I feel like a can't get my eyes to focus. Does anyone else have this? If yes, what did you do about it? Thanks!!! Hugs!!!
Please see an opthamologist, if you're having vision problems. Optometrists prescribe glasses, contacts, etc. An opthamologist is a Dr and has much more training and can do surgery, treatments, etc… read more
I have been prescribed Gabapentim which I tried and did not like how I felt on it and then Pamelor and quit for the same reason after 2 weeks. I am already on Paxil and Wellbutrin for anxiety and depression and do not want to feel further 'out of it' with the Fibro meds. So I just take Aleve or Meloxicam as needed but it honestly only helps a slight bit. I must take Tylenol PM to get any sleep as my restless legs and neck pain keep me up most nights. I fear that being on the Fibro meds will make… read more

Anyone else have vision issues?? Thought it was my eyes but the doc said theyre perfectly healthy so they think it might be an issue with my brain. I'm wondering if anyone else has vision issues because of the fibro?
My eyes have been sore all day. I thought the light behind me was flickering all night, my epileptic partner claimed I was just tired. The light was fine. I guess it was me. Is this normal?
I am having trouble see today. Just curious if it is caused by fibro

I know some symptoms are more common, and some only a few get. I don't have restless leg syndrome, it's in my upper body. It was just at night time, But it turning out to be all the time. Is this a common problem?
I get that sometimes myself. I also have RLS. Gabapentin seems to work for me.
I have seen existing posts about vision issues that come about from having Fibro.
Does anyone have suggestions to minimize blurry vision?
My experience is like moments of vision loss and/or blurriness.
Thanks everyone for all of your responses!
