I think the MFT bot will only reply to the first question you ask, Damyanti.
From what I know this website does not offer personal assistance.
I'm so sorry and I hope that you can get the physical help that you need and with advocacy and the letter writing, etc. You deserve to have help.

What help is available for managing fibromyalgia symptoms?

It sounds like you're managing significant pain with your current medication regimen. While opioids like fentanyl patches and oral morphine are sometimes used, newer guidelines generally don't recommend them for fibromyalgia due to risks of dependence and other concerns.

FDA-approved medications specifically for fibromyalgia include:
- Pregabalin (Lyrica) - helps reduce pain and improve sleep
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - an antidepressant that addresses pain
- Milnacipran (Savella) - helps with pain and fatigue
- Cyclobenzaprine (Tonmya) - a newly approved muscle relaxant

Your amitriptyline is commonly used for fibromyalgia and can help with pain and sleep. It's worth noting that fibromyalgia pain comes from the central nervous system rather than nerve damage, which may explain why your nerve conduction tests came back normal. Beyond medication, several approaches can help:

- Regular gentle exercise (even short walks, working up gradually)
- Stress management through meditation, deep breathing, or yoga
- Sleep hygiene improvements
- Dietary changes (some find anti-inflammatory diets helpful)
- Staying hydrated
- Pacing activities with rest periods

Complementary therapies some find helpful:
- Massage therapy
- Trigger point injections
- Acupuncture

It's important to discuss your current pain management plan with your doctor, especially if you're still experiencing significant symptoms. They can help determine if adjustments or additional fibromyalgia-specific treatments might be beneficial.
