Oh my God the fibro is coming frequently and more painful! I have been up all night! Probably slept 2 hrs. The pain is so bad wouldn't let me sleep. Gabpentin 400mg have not helped! Feels like my left shoulder down to my fingers are burning aching and squeezing searing muscle spasms! Today is not a good day for me. Those who believe in the power of prayer please, please pray for me.

I've been on these meds for over five years and I'm not addicted, (was in hospital for two weeks sedated for 12 of those days and awake the rest .... Wasn't allowed any of my meds while I was awake and of course wasn't on them while sedated.... No withdrawal just pain .... ) don't be afraid of asking for stronger x if you need them then take them x
You must find some relief so you can do some gentle e excuse I agree with Paula Jean Allen Speak up I switched anti I flammatories six times before finding Vimovo Wow it's like a miracle I was able to stop most of my pain med just occasional now I feel new
Glad you feel better I have days where I feel drained but for the most part I feel much better My antinflammatory Vimovo helps as well as gabapentin and cyclobenzaprene These allow me to feel like going to the gym for exercise most days I hope cyclobenzaprene keeps you mobile All but Vimovo I take at night Most are sedating to me
Lol! Yes, I would not be concerned with addiction to pain meds if this pain ever have me where I don't want to live in this world any more. I have enough I am already addicted to is all I am saying. It wasn't meant to down anyone who take the drugs they need for relief of pain. I was referring to myself only. Hope this clarifies my intentions about these comments I have made. Soft hugs!
We are all addicted to whatever meds we are on. If anyone thinks that gabapentin isn't addictive, try stopping it. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer,but and this is a great big but. I personally would rather be called an" ADDICT" (which I have) then to live with this ungodly disease. If you had constant, gnawing pain from cancer,lupus,even a broken leg would you really worry about addiction? I'll take addiction and quality of life over being in constant pain any day. I have an 85 year old Aunt who is slowly dying. She smokes and drinks wine or brandy. I quit smoking but if I get to be 85 and I'm sick I'm buying a carton of cigarettes and I'm going to smoke and drink dirty martinis all day, which for me means two and I fall asleep.
