I have been hearing people talk about a lack of oxygen to the brain being a cause of inflammation, etc. I've seen where some say hyperbaric oxygen can cure fibromyalgia. So as I looked for ways to increase oxygen to the brain (exercise is certainly one), I find where low blood pressure will decrease oxygen to the brain. Wow, I have low blood pressure.

It wasn’t until I read an article on fibro fog that I even considered it could be something else causing my forgetfulness.

Does anybody know what kind of doctor I could go see if that would help with my pain management I swear I've tried everything and I can't find a doctor that will prescribe me tramadol .I have had addiction issues and chemical dependency in the past. But now they're saying it's a narcotic? It's ridiculous I feel like I have no quality-of-life. I'm 40 years old and have more problems than an 80-year-old. I don't feel person should have to suffer. Does anybody have any suggestions?
