Members shared their experiences with intravenous lidocaine infusions for fibromyalgia pain, with responses ranging from one member finding the treatment very relaxing and receiving it monthly, to others reporting little improvement, especially when treatments were spaced too far apart due to clinic capacity issues. Several members noted practical challenges, including difficulty accessing veins for IV placement and the need to continue regular medications alongside the infusions. A recurring theme was curiosity and cautious optimism about this emerging treatment option, with members encouraging each other to research clinical studies and work closely with pain management specialists to determine if it might be right for them.
