This year Fibromyalgia has been horrid for me. The worst it's ever been. I wake up in the morning from the pain. I am not ready to wake up, but I have to. My lower back feels like someone took a metal bar and decided to hit me across the lower end of my back. It's absolutely the worst pain I have ever had. I can't sleep on my side because my trigger points in my upper arms are so painful. Every trigger point feels like someone is putting a nail into me.
After I get up, I move around, it's better and then later it's almost gone. Only to go to bed and wake up with it again. I am getting very little sleep.
This is new to me. I can't take lyrica. It made me drugged and nuts. I was in bed constantly on it. Neurontin made me depressed and suicidal. I don't want to be taking opiates all of the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am open to all thoughts on this. This is the primary reason I will be stopping work for a bit. Because, I am far too exhausted from pain.
I was told to get Ultram. Soma does nothing. Flexoril makes me nuts and unable to sleep. Dilaudid drugs me for hours.
What are the options and if you told me to eat a snake, I might do it! I am exhausted from it. :In bed:
