[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 281826, member: 1514"] First of Jo...I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. Ok...maybe on those that say...oh but Fibro isnt a real diagnosis...I would wish it on them for a week. You are describing my life pretty darn well! That acid feeling in the legs...is it burning inside the bones...kinda feels like the marrow is burning? If so...got it but I am not real sure it is fibro. Maybe or maybe not. I dont know how well the AD's help with fibro because I cant take them. Some people take Elavil for it. I have heard some good things with that. I have heard that cymbalta is good for some. Lyrica helps many. I wasnt one. What works best for me is low dose pain medications such as darvocet, vicoden, or lorcet taken as needed and something like flerixil or another muscle relaxer. Also you may need to take a sleeping medication to make sure you are getting good sleep. If your legs and back are bothering you, taking a hot bath should help. Soaking with a combo of epsom salts and hydrogen peroxide in a bath that is as hot as you can stand it for 20 minutes will help. Or should. Then get out and lightly towel off and lay in bed. You should feel worn out. I cant think of anything else right now....lol. Minds blanking on me. [/QUOTE]
