Sometimes your meds can actually cause the pain.. My kids were taking Topomax and we were having horrible pain. Come to find out it was the med. I was taking a mood stabilizer that was called Saphris. It was doing a good job, but the pain was horrible. I thought my firo had come back. Fibro is very real. It makes you hurt all over. There are drugs out there. I take Neurontin. I wa taking Lyrica, but it caused weight gain, so that might work for you if you're losing weright. There are no real answers. Just take one day at a time. Try to take time for yourself.. You flareup will calm down when your stess level goes down. When everytime things got too stressful, I always ended up in the mental hospital. I hope that doesn't happen to you.
