What is the best treatment for Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia?
I tried Cymbalta for 2 weeks and the side effects were horrible.
I tried Cymbalta for 2 weeks and the side effects were horrible.
I have leg cramps, abdominal spasms and pain, shoulder muscle pain, low back ache, and jaw pain. All of these are supposedly associated with fibromyalgia symptoms, along with many others. Has anyone out there found any alternative or otc treatments to help? The prescription Lyrica and Cymbalta didn't help, nor did acupuncture. So those would have to be left off my choices. I am at my wits end, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thought I would add also that there aren't really any knowledgeable doctors in my area regarding fibromyalgia and I can't afford massages as they're not covered by my insurance otherwise I would use them for the back muscle cramps. I haven't chosen any one answer as best because no one's come up with anything I haven't already tried, other than the foot pads.
Treatment for it has been about 10-11 months all the neurologist did was put me on was first she tried was cymbalta and know lyrica (first was 60 does and know it's 150 X 2) I take one pill when I get up and another at night. The pill still does not help. So I think I am out of luck and need to see a hand surgery for my operation. Though if it's needed I have some questions:
1) When they give you anistina will you fill anything even though you are sleeping?
2) My mom had it and she told me that it hurt after it was over?
3) I have it in both hands will the surgery be done in both?
4) What about my legs that have Peripheral neuropathy they tingle and such will surgery be done too?
5) Once they cut the tissue could carpal tunnel come back?
The only symptoms I do have are:
Tingling all over (hands, arms, legs, feet, head)
Aching all over
Shoulder sometimes hurts
I did have the EMG/NCS test done all over my body where it was affected.
Also I heard it cost allot of money.
