What seems to be the best treatment for fibromyalgia? What is the medical opinion on tx with narcotics?
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 at
Someone I know takes hydrochodone and I would like to know if the benefits outweight the almost certain dependency.
For clarification purposes, I am not speaking ill of those who use narcotics for pain management and not trying to tell someone how they should be treated. I am just asking a question. Please don't be so defensive in answering. That is the purpose of this place, is it not?

Since pain relievers are practically useless, and the prescriptions carry a lot of baggage like side effects, addiction, etc… I choose to eat the healthiest possible diet, take a few supplements to insure that my immune system and overall health is as good as it can get, and practice daily cognitive therapy (thought conditioning) to enhance my mood. If it weren’t for the latter, I’d probably shoot myself.
Besides the pain, sleeplessness, balance issues, and myriad other symptoms, one of the worst things about fibro is trying to tell people about it. If they can’t see it, they don’t believe it’s there. Even some moron doctors think its a mental issue. I can assure them that it most certainly is not. The cognitive therapy cured my nearly five year long depression… if it can do that (when doctors and their drugs could not), then fibromyalgia would be a piece of cake… if it were mental. It’s not.
