I've had more sharp pain lately so I've taken much more ibuprofen. About 8 200mg doses/day. I think it may be making my pain worse once it wears off! It takes the edge off for a while but in about 6 hours I feel like I'm in worse pain than I was before! Does anyone feel this?
I have almost stopped taking Iboprofen. The more I've read on what the drug does to your stomach and bowels has really turned me off it.
Meloxicam does nothing and methocarbnal does nothing for me.
I can,t take i bruprofen because raise my blood pressure and I take for so many years that i have sirrosis to the liver. Is that true that afcet the liver?
Drink a lot of water. We must drink a lot of water to push out all those chemicals.
Hello all! I had to reduce my Tramadol to only in the morning (possibly prn if absolutely needed later in day) along with Gabapentin the rest of the day. Its not been helping lately due to increased pain (neck nerve and canal impingements).
The pain doctor said Tylenol 3 is stronger than Tramadol.
Do you think it is stronger?
Thanks so much Fibro Sisters :)
Tramadol works better for me than Tylenol 3, however, I do believe we all react to different medications differently.

So, let me preface this with I love food. LOVE food. I love cooking, trying new recipes, feeding people, and experimenting with new ingredients. Cooking is how I show my love. But since yesterday I’ve had no appetite. I know my pain levels have been higher/flaring, but I’ve never had the complete lack of appetite like I have today. I’ve eaten, and I’ve been drinking enough, but mostly because I have to, not because I want to or because I’m enjoying it. The thought of eating makes me feel… read more
