There is a medication called Neurontin, which is very effective in pain management. I dont know a Dr. who wouldnt perscibe it becouse its an amino acid, interacts with everthing, and a small dose is effective. Also sleeping disorders are associated with fybromalgia, tranzidone, elivil are two good ones, but serzone seems to help relax my muscles, with few side effects if taken at night for sleep. (Also may elevate some of the deppression)Stess can throw you into a major fybromalgia outbreak, so keeping life simple helps too. It s a very baffeling, disabling, life destroying desease. Unfortunetley, what works for me may not work for you. But you deserve to try every medication combinatin you can,even if you have to travel to find the right Doctor. Your life depends on it.
