Does Anyone Have Any Tips For Wearing High Heels With Fibro?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm going to be a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding in early May and I wanted to wear some wedge heels I have (about 3 inches tall), but my calves were killing me after only wearing them for a short amount of time (my fibro pain is worst in my calves). The heels used to be decently comfortable, but I haven't worn heels at all in years. Does anyone have any tips/work arounds to make it work, or do you think I need to give up my vanity and get some flats instead? I would hate to be in too… read more

Is Anyone Else A Rapid Or Ultra Rapid Metabolizer And Having Problems Getting A Brand Of Hydrocodone That Actually Works For Them?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Malinkort, Vicodin is only 1 available in a 100 mile radius of me. Even their adderal doesn't work well for me. Wish I could sue the DEA. Frustrating they are increasing my health problems. TMJ worse, stomach problems ( biting hydrocordone to try to get any relief), IBS & depression worse. Sometimes feel like I'm only holding on to help my husband with his upcoming lung surgery. I wonder then what. Oh, & live in Idaho so no pot ect available.
Any suggestions
