      I agree Sue. All three 'Fibro medicines' tried, all three gave me allergic reactions! The Doctor told me to 'Get used to the pain, because I don't know what else to try.'  I stopped going to him. Found a Nurse practitioner who has been trying to help me, but she just moved 3 hours away. Now I have to get used to a new doctor, and explain all of this crap again! Some days it just isn't worth trying to chew the restraints! lol

      I have also tried Gabapentin and Lyrica. I am allergic to them Both, I woke up Gasping for air Twice while on Lyrica. My Neuro wants me off the Percoset but it's the only thing I have found that takes the edge off so I can Partially function. I haven't worked in a year now(School Bus Driver) I can't imagine trying to go back to work without pain meds and I won't and can't drive while on this Med. I tried Tramadol and It had No effect on me. My Pain Dr. is going to continue the Percoset with Cymbalta and Zanaflex just to keep me fairly comfortable. screw what the Neuro says...He is not the one living this Nightmare.
