Thanks for everyone's replies. Tomorrow I see my physiatrist (sp?) Curious of the outcome. I spoke to my mother's sister who's had FM for a good amount of time. She also has a myriad of other health problems. I called to ask her about trigger point injections as well as the pain patch. She suggested I stay away from the patch due to it's being addictive. I'm not sure if I would worry so much about becoming addicted, as narcotics have never been a problem with me. In fact I probably take them less often than I should. I was on Elavil for a short time with my initial diagnosis and found it made me unsteady on my feet, more dizzy, so I discontinued taking it. Hopefully I'll have more to go on after my doctor visit tomorrow. I know elavil is an antidepressant. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. Sorry
God Bless
