Hi everybody. I'm in the middle of a terrible flair up of my FM/CFS. Can hardly move. Waiting for Dr. to call in something stronger for pain. Hope to be back on in a couple of days. Thinking of ya! Linda D

Sorry you feel so bad. I hope your doctor gives you something that really helps. Has he ever given you oxyir 5mg. It is the same as percocet w/o the tylenol. It works in just a few mins. They are instant release. They work short term but, really helped us. I don't take them unless I'm in a lot of pain but, my husband takes about 3-4 of them per day for break through pain. He also takes oxycontin 40 mg. sustain 12 hrs. 3x's pd. It can be habit forming because it is a controlled substance. Take good care, Kim

It must be the season for the flares.
I went to the doctor after a whole month of November flare and he put me on anti-depressants....I am now a walking zombie...My legs stopped hurting but I can not feel my brain LOL..... I read the transcript from that show with the dr from NY who has the injection ... I have to admit the pig's liver part scared me off. Feel better :-)

Hi everybody! I'm still alive and somewhat able to move now. I'm still walking like a zombie and hurt with every muscle that moves, but I'm trying. Thanks for all the kind wishes from Scooby, Kim, Cyn and Elaine. It sure helps to know that someone cares! Doc ordered some Vicodin which really works well for me. He will give it to me when I have a severe flair, but not on a regular basis. I think I may ask him about it when I see him again. I have got to get back on my feet soon. Christmas will not wait!
Elaine, I'm really worried about you. Somehow you have to get out from under that blanket of depression. Will your doc maybe give you some samples of Prozac to try? I've taken them for a very long time, and they not only help with my depression, but they increase seratonin (spelling?) in the brain. I first read about it being used in a FM newsletter a long time ago. I asked my doc to please lets try it, and it has worked better than anything I've ever used. Do you have AOL Instant Messager? If you do, we can talk there. If not, you can get it free. Let me know! Please hang in there and keep fighting! I care very much! Linda D
