I have fibromyalgia, similar to MS, all my nuerologist want to do is drug me, I am not for it, what are your resourcesif you have the illness or know of someone that does? I am in Detroit area suburbs. My insurance stinks

I am a Registered Nurse who has had fibromyalgia for almost 3 years. I have been seeing an internal medicine doc the entire time. Besides prescribing pain meds, antidepressants, a muscle relaxer and Lyrica, my doc really hasn't been able to improve my health status. I have a pharmacy of meds to take every day; and I just think we are putting a band-aid on the symptoms, not treating the cause. I am almost positive I am also dealing with myofascial pain syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. That is a little history, so here is my question. Has anyone had any exposure to the Fibro and Fatigue clinics? I am aware they test for a LOT of problems and they do unconventional treatments that work for some people. But my problem is the cost of the visits. I was told it is almost 0 a vistit for the 1st two visits. On top of that, it is cash up front, and they can't even file on your insurance. Why is that? But then again, I would gladly spend 0 to get my life back.

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.

i am morbidly obese (5'9"-294 lbs)I have insulin resistant diabetes. In my treatment plan I am to take along with my Metformin 2 other drugs to aid in my weight loss BYETTA-and XENACAL. I also have neuropathy as a complication from the diabetes and am prescribed LYRICA. My insurance will not cover the XENECAL for it is a weight loss drug and considered a "frivilous" expense. Nor will they cover LYRICA for it is new on the market .Ineed these meds in order to live a productive life to help loose the weight so i will not be diabetic. I am 45. I want to live until I'm 75. With out these meds ,I could die in 5 years.
The cost of these meds are -XENECAL-0.00 for a 30 day supply
LYRICA-0.00 for a 30 day supply.
