Suggest Remedy For Recurred Pain Due To Fibromyalgia With No Help From Any Medications

I have a question. I am a 47-year old mother with 3 children who has suffered from fibromyalgia for over 15 years. You name a medication, I have tried it: Tylenol, Oxycodone, Advil, Oxycontin, Lyrica, (along with other anti-depressants and anti-convulsives). I am currently taking 250 mg of Depakote at night for pain relief and manic-depression. I also take 1 mg of Klonopin at bedtime for sleep and muscle pain. I am currently on Methadone, but coming off of it...however, I have noticed that the pain is returning with a vengeance. The only medication that has worked well for me (w/o putting me to sleep is the Duragesic patch). The problem is that I am on Medicaid and am having a very hard time finding a pain doctor in Colorado Springs. I have spoken to my family doctor about switching to the Fentanyl and he thinks it s a good idea, but does not feel pain management is his specialty. I simply cannot find a doctor in my area. Ideas? Thanks, Heidi

In my opinion you should explore 2 possibilities
1-kidney chronic failure
2-if it is stress related
check kidney function first

Good Luck
