Managing Chronic Pain: Seeking Advice and Support

@DebG About 12 years ago, a fibromyalgia specialist told me to eat only organic foods. He said that people with fibromyalgia are very sensitive to chemicals and additives in food. I've done better pain wise since going organic.

@DebG I still have to stop eatting bread....did that help you with the pain and losing weight as well? Someone told me she takes green tea pills as they are more potent than the tea...I drink thst and ginger tea

@DebG Been there. I'm allergic to about 20 meds. Another option might be Lyrica which is similar to Gabapentin. Savella or Celexa are possibilities in place of Cymbalta. They also block pain perception. Norco is a hydrocodone. Also can try over the counter dose of naproxen sodium and acetaminophen (Aleve and Tylenol). I can't take hydrocodone so I take one Aleve with 2 regular Tylenol twice daily for pain. Don't exceed the over the counter dose though. Aleve can effect kidneys and Tylenol van effect liver if taken in higher doses on regular basis.
