Pain!!! What other meds and does anyone know of a good pain doctor in Macon/Warner Robins, GA?
Up until my pregnancy I didn't use medicine; I was diagnosed with depression and put on so many meds as a child that as an adult I refused to take any. However, I started getting strange rashes first (later diagnosed as erythema multiforme), then after delivery began having muscle pains. After taking Depo-provera I began having bad spasms (myoclonic seizures) and debilitating pain (fibromyalgia). I doctor hopped trying to find adequate pain relief and nothing seemed to work. I've had fentanyl (which triggered the rashes), Soma, Flexeril, Ultram, Lortab, Vicodin, Percodan, Oxycodone, you name it. I'd get Demerol shots on a walk-in basis because my flare-ups would have me crying. I'm back in Georgia and on Ultram and it's not helping but I'm too scared to say anything because every time I spoke up I'd end up with ineffective medication. I used Vicodin successfully; it didn't have any horrible side effects and worked really well. The only problem is I don't want to destroy my liver. Help!

i have the same thing you do, allong with degenerative disk disease, and sciatica, which you know fibromyalgia, is hard enough, but with sciatica it feels like i have charlie horses in my legs allll the time. and they just stop working. i took everything there is to take.
the only thing that works for me is methadone. and i thought it wasnt going to work at first. because i thought it wasnt even a pain pill right? well i was wrong. i only have to take ten mg a day. and i have taken this for almost 5 years now. and it works allll day, even the next morning, it isnt as bad. i seriously wouldnt be able to live without this medication. and best of all. its concidered a long term use, it dosent hurt your liver, and its the cheapest med. there is.
if i were you i would ask about it. its helped me more than anything i have ever taken.
if you have a myspace or anything and ever need to chat, holler at me. i joined a fibro. group on there thats really great. for when we have those shitty days you know? holler at me later. let me know ifyou need to know anything else. here is my myspace too.
