I went to get my allergy shots today and got into a conversation with the nurse that gave me my shots and she said you are suffering in pain no matter what you do ask pain management doctor for this medication this is what she uses. It is called low dose, Naltrexone. I hope and pray it helps.

I think she thought you have and problem. The one of the issues I see that we face. We look for answers and ask for help...and others don't see that we are actually in pain. That we are truly trying to find and solution not just looking for drugs.
That's why this site is so important. We can be there for each other.

Okay so I'm getting mixed information on different studies. I sifted through some but, I need a brain break. Here's my findings...

Interpretation: This study did not show that treatment with low-dose naltrexone was superior to placebo in relieving pain. Our results indicate that low-dose naltrexone might improve memory problems associated with fibromyalgia, and we suggest that future trials investigate this further.
