New!

Deepwell,
Hey! I can't tell you how much better I feel knowing that I am not alone. I was taking Topomax for the RSD and became toxic from it! Other than that I only take Vitamin D and Klonopin, I am extremely medication sensitive so I really look forward to finding alternative solutions.. I eat very healthy, I try to exercise (walking etc...) and am swearing to try yoga, done biofeedback, acupuncture, you name it. I am wondering the same as you! I can't wrap my head around a secondary chronic pain situation.

Loving the info and mental stimulation!
Thanks for the response, and wishing you well.

Eliza- I am glad you found this forum. I am sorry your in so much pain. Many of us really understand what your going through. This is a great place to learn how to manage your fibro. Many of us started like you are looking for some relief. I was in tears and given up on all my Dr's until I came across this forum. It truly has given my life back to me.

Many fibromites are very senstivitive to drugs. We all react different to them. The more natural treatments and meds seem to work best for me. Some here take the newest drugs for fibro with no problem. I get kind of scared to try new things. When trying new things, it becomes a trial and error thing. Vitamins seem to really help me, especially for muscle cramps.

I hope you find this forum as helpful as I have. I finally got a good treatment plan that works for me. I never learned any of this in my Dr's office. It was from reading post daily and educating myself through books. I hope you can have the same success as I have. It didnt happen over night, but the learning experience was worth it.
All I do is take vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, subutex, rest, light excercise, heat, try to eat healthy, and stay away from unwanted stress. Mine is simple, but works for me.
