Pain Medication And Xanax
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I read the other day that who ever makes these decisions, have decided that Xanax is not good for you and are recommending that patients stop using it.

I also received a letter from Medicare about using pain medication and that you should use alternative treatment.

Here is my question: Have any of you heard the same thing? What do they expect us to do?

I only take 1 mg of Xanax and I take Tramadol 3x a day. If they take those away, I will be in even more agony!

That's awful. Cymbalta and Lyrica are very addicting also but they don't mind handing those out like candy. No one wants to be on a medication oh, but we have to live life!

Yes, instead of Advil. I need the anti inflammatory properties and my PCP said it would be less harmful to the kidneys. Nice to just have to take it once a day also.

I was told for years that I had arthritis. However, 5 years ago another rheumatologist diagnosed me with Fibro. When I see a doctor for anything now I'm pretty much told its caused by Fibromyalgia.

Cold and flu is no fun at any time. Sick is sick with or without fibro. I haven't noticed any difference.
