Does anyone use hydrocodone for pain? My doctor asked me if I wanted to Äťet a stronger dose of hydrocodone which means morphine. I refuse to be put on morphine
I Take A VERY Low Dose Of 5-325Mg. Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen. So There's ONLY 5Mgs. Of Hydrocodone.

Constant muscle twitching,especially in the calves

I’m new to the Fibro Forum and I’m so desperate for answers. Lately I’ve been getting horrible electric shocks everywhere in my body. Even in my fingers, face, lips. Normal symptom of Fibro I was told by my PCP. It’s so painful and the pain literally lasts about a second until another one comes. I’ve had all the nerve tests..all perfect. There’s no explanation for it right now. I’ve been on amitriptyline for nerve pain..hasn’t helped. Norco doesn’t knock out the pain either. At this point, I… read more
Yes I have electric shocks too. But, just recently started. God bless!!

Every single friend and family member has dropped off. I have nobody who understands what I am going through at all so I get a lot of rejection and criticism.
I find the best way is to say nothing about it. People have their own problems. Keep interested in What is going on around you, read papers, watch the news, keep up to date on currents issues… read more

All the time, have to pay $60 now before i can set another appointment. I missed three so i cannot complain. Missed two mammogram appointments and now my library books are late. I write them down on… read more
I told myself this year I am to take better care of myself!!! So far I've been very slow at it ( for obvious reasons) NO more excuses; I am my top priority!
So please tell me what it is that helps you feel better and relaxed or pampered??! Do you use expensive/quality shampoo conditioner??? Get you nails done??
Button line what's your "GO-To" for self care???? Beyond medication.

My house is a mess I don't have the energy to clean it. I can't afford help and family is willing to come help but it just ends up the same over time cause I can't keep up. How do you guys deal with it maybe I'm worse than most. Have never been the best at cleaning anyway but never this bad. I don't have garbage around, but sink full of dishes, unfolded laundry piles and piles OH HELP ME.
Make a bed? No way in hell. I just fluff the covers and then throw them in the wash once every couple of weeks
Vacuum? Only when things get bad enough or make boyfriend do it when he comes to visit.… read more
