Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia pain alcohol
fibromyalgia
I take Opana ER which is an extended release pain med and I take percocet for breakthru pain. I also take Lyrica for nerve pain, Trazadone and Flexeril at night to help with sleep and muscle spasms, and I am on Zoloft and bloodpressure meds.
I went a long time with no pain meds then to Tramadol then to Lortab, etc.... I have very high pain levels on a daily basis plus I have a high tolerance to meds so the weaker ones never worked well for me.
All have quickly said it is alcohol related, but no one has an explanation of the joint and muscle pain. Now I have been sent to a pain specialist. I say I am willing to accept it if it is all alcohol related, but maybe I am not because I also think something is missing. I have read a lot about a lot on line because I don't do much else due to the discomfort. Fibromyalgia would seem to be a likely possibility but no m.d has mentioned it, yet have prescribed Lyrica.
last couple of days I am facing all over body pain ( more in calf muscle) and having a fatigue feeling. I consulted a doctor and he tested my blood , urine etc for Sugar , kidney function etc. Nothing found wrong. After reading about Fibromyalgia I found some symptoms are matching . How do I know what is my issue ....
A generalized muscle tenderness and aches would go more in favor of fibromyalgia. However, in your case the pain in only in arms and legs. Fibromyalgia cannot be ruled out. You must however look for causes of peripheral neuropathy like those associated with diabetes, hypothyroidism, chronic involvement of liver or kidney, chronic alcohol use.
Vascular pathologies like atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis too should be ruled out.
When I drink liquor my body is numb and relaxed and I dont feel the pain as much..I cant drink alcohol everyday and all day so it is not the solution,,I also went for an anosopy and came back normal but found out I had acid reflex..The pain is always there and I cant be around people sometimes because I get so tight I feel as though I cant breath. I also start shaking some times my arms when the pain is bad and sweating alot under both my breasts and back area...
Does anyone who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia know of the best medication to take to help relieve the discomfort associated with this disease?
pain reception in both the peripheral and central nervous systems), mostly given the highly predictable onset after consumption of alcohol or other sugars and resolution after a day or so. Also, fibromyalgia pain is most classically muscular/articular (joints) in origin.
I have recurring migraines and found a new commonality that might help in solving them.
Prior to, during, and after the migraine I have severe cracking (crackling, popping) in my neck. I have been trained to do neck exercises by pain management and I did then last week, it resulted in a 3-day migraine where pain went from left side and neck to right side and when worse it's usually behind my eye or temple area. Its not as severe when in back of my head.
I have been diagnosed with herniated disks, bone spurs in right shoulder and cervical spine. I also have a blown disk in lower spine. I am 71 years old and outside of the pain issue, I am pretty healthy. The only med I am required to take is Synthroid. I have recently been experiencing pain that seems to be related. It starts along the outside of my right wrist, extends to the heel of the hand and terminates in the middle finger. The finger seems swollen a bit, and is very painful.

I want out...what do you two recommend? Are you clean now? Did the tapering work? I'm also concerned about anxiety...will that be an issue?
What can be done about the chronic Fibromyalgia pain when I am allergic to pain medicines or the pain relievers do not give relief.
m constantly tired with so much fatigue. I can barely get up in the mornings. Certains spots in my body have really bad pain or tenderness and sometimes I have numb spots. My joints ache and I always feel exhausted. My body feels like a 80 year old women. On my left thigh two weeks ago it hurt so bad I couldn't even put pants on. Can someone tell me what they think and what test can be done to find out so I can ask my doctor?
I have Fibromyalgia, chronic back and neck pain. I am on Duragesic pain patch, Ultram, Lortab 10 mg, and Lyrica 200mg. I noticed weight gain and swelling in my legs and feet with Lyrica and wanted to know if Topamax could replace Lyrica.
The people who understand fibromyalgia are those who experience the pain and fatigue. Fortunately fibromyalgia is now a recognized condition by yhe medical community but until we have technology that can measure, compute, comptehend the pain, we won't have complete credibility.
