[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 80679"] Vicodin, ambien, muscle relaxers are all treatments for fibro. [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20111013150114/http://www.fmnetnews.com/basics-treatment.php[/URL] I have days with hardly any pain at all, although the fatigue and brain fog are fairly constant...their degree varies. I have noticed that on the days I have more pain, the fatigue and brain fog are much worse. Keep in mind that "fatigue" doesn't mean being tired. It means feeling like every ounce of energy has been pulled out of you. I've had days where just lifting a glass to my mouth was an effort. I've had a pain flare up the last two days. On days like this, climbing the stairs is a monumental task. There isn't a part of my body that doesn't hurt and my muscles feel very weak and shaky. I've been taking advil every 3 hours for the last 2 days and it hasn't touched it. At all. Having said all that, a second opinion can never hurt even in an ideal situation. What your mother is getting from her doctor sounds much less than ideal. [/QUOTE]
