Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia In A Type 2 Diabetic

I have insulin-dependant diabetes Type 2. I have fibromyalgia, really painful in my legs and arms, osteoarthritis, heart disease, COPD, asthma, and bronchitis. I ve tried several po meds. for the fibromyalgia, but was not able to take them, because of the effects on my heart. I am on O2 continuously. I take Hdrocodone 7.5 3 times a day for constant pain and Flexeril for muscle pain and stiffness. Can you suggest a medication that will help me live with my pain and other aches that I suffer with daily? Linda Sanderson
