Chillicothe, OH

I have been doing research on lidocaine and how it helps with fibromyalgia and was wondering if anyone has tried them and if they work? I was gonna start with otc patches and if they helped maybe get a prescription for them. Any input?

When I was in hospital for other issues, they gave me a jelly, instead of the patch, it was wonderful. Hard to get insurance to pay for it though....

I have prescription patches with capsasion (sp) in them. I think they help a whole lot. I found out that my insurance won't pay for them anymore and I think they r pricey. Trying yo use them sparingly
