Fibromylgia

What is the best medication for fibromylgia and how often should it be taken? ## There is no medication that is considered the best. Their effects can vary widely from person to person. Some people with this condition often do will with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, such as Aceclofenac: Some have had great results with Gabapentin: Some require treatment with narcotic pain management. What has your doctor suggested you use? ## the only cure for fibromyalgia is a psychiatrist. ## This is very insulting and obviously a very uninformed individual.

2 months ago I tripped in the louse - fell - slammed both upper arms onto floor hard! Very sore for a week or so. a month later arms still hurt - went to Dr, who took xray and said said it was in the soft tissue. now it has been 2 months and arms still hurt! I have been on lipitor for about 5-6 months and wonder if that might be why? I do have fibromylgia so hurt most of the time but this is different.

I have taken Meloxicam for two years and am worried about long lasting effects from long term use. Any info you can share with me? ## Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so long term use of it may cause damage to your stomach and/or your liver. Learn more Meloxicam details here. They've also been known to cause fluid retention and elevated blood pressure with long-term use. Do you see your doctor regularly? Do they do blood tests, such as a liver panel? ## I had taken meloxicam for about a year and wow i sure got relief of my osteoarthritis (severe all joints affected), also diagnosed with fibromylgia, I began to have stomach burning ...then ulcer..then bleeding ulcer and the lining to my stomach is in bad shape. I had also been taking protonix and carafate all while on m...
