To All Of My Fellow Edmontonians.Do Any Of You Have A Great FM/CFS Doctor That Will Take On My Son For And Myself?

Our doctor refuses to even consider any pain meds even though lots of people on this forum say that different ones help them. My son had negative reactions to Lyrica and Cymbalta. He needs to be able to function even just a little. We're still going to keep investigating new things, but just to help until I've found something.

Not sure what part of city you live in, but I find the docs at Ravine Medical Clinic to be fantastic. The office are amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about them. I do believe they are still accepting new patients. Good docs are out there, you just have to search till you find them. Good luck. Blessings of love and light. Gentle hugs 🤗

I only use edibles at night to help me sleep. It's the only thing that helps me. I spend about $60 a month for edibles. I have a dispensary about 30 miles that I shop at monthly.

Where do you find marijuana. It is so expensive here and really doesn’t help. But I don’t no much about it.

If you live in Rapid City, see dr trevor Anderson's. Hes with black Hills ortho and spine. He a rehab dr but hes the only one who really understands as he has been helping me thru the pain and days of not being able to even bear the weight of my clothes . Just dont ask for pain meds at 1st appointment. He not only will not give them, he wont see you again. Trevor knows most about fibro because hes been treating me for the last 10 years. I started seeing him for back pain. He absolutely would not give pain meds. I got those from another dr. But one day I was in his office and he could tell by my face that I was in excruciating pain. He wasted no more time giving me pain meds. Bbn I'm up to 10 mg oxycodone now. 15 to 20 if I need.
I have also found long ago that one thing that helps the pain and allows me to function is marijuana. I like the edibles because 1 candy helps for several hours.
