OK Someone should be albe to help

Hello All,

OK everyone that knows who I am  I have been off Methadone for over a 100 days..(sorry I have not looked) but anyway what I need help with is as fallows
I have had Pain Problems for Years now and the doctors have told me it is Fibromyalgia and my point to this is when you are in pain for a long time , You get really tired and you just grumpy and What can a person take beside Pain Meds? Is there something out there? I can't take the pain but if I start taking Pain Meds again wont they just have to keep putting me up Higher and Higher? Sort of thing and is there a Pain Killer that is NON Addictive?

Just trying to find a way to get some Relief and not be popping Pills all the time.
And I'm sure not trying to step on anyone's toes who does take pain meds daily I understand that there are times you have to..
OK everyone thanks for reading and Sorry  I have not been online...

XOXOX Rhea

Hey thanks I have looked up most of all you have talked about and they all sound really good. The only one I know that you can't mix with a Antidepressant is Saint Johns wort. So that one I won't take but I do have one I do take so don't really need that one. And I will start taking the Htp5 and I have vit. I take I just have not been as of late so totally getting back into it.
thank so much  for being such a nice person and giving me so much info and
Keep in touch
Thanks again
Loves Rhea

lidocaine patches, Flector patches, naproxen, diclofenac. these are all anti-inflamatory medications that are non narcotic and non addictive.

i forgot to mention that another treatment that my muscle specialist doctor and neurologist mentioned was aqua therapy. it has to be a HEATED pool because the cold water can cause pain in itself. I cant tell you if it has helped me or not because the only place around me that does aqua therapy with a heated pool is too far away from my home. you can try to get a referal to a YMCA or somewhere else.

talk to your primary doctor about a referal to a neurologist or a muscle specialist and they will be able to set up a course of treatment for u.
