I have been away from the site and really just not on anywhere, I have no excuses but I now feel like I need to talk. I have been waiting a long time to get into a pain clinic and finally I have been notified so things will start to happen.

I have been really struggling with pain through out my whole body like I never have had before. My doctor put me on Fentangyl patches but they are not strong enough so today I go on stronger ones. Has anybody had problems, I do not seem to have any side effects.

I have had Fibro for a long time but never hurt this much, I am 70 years old and have a dr. that does not take me seriously, yesterday when he finally felt my left arm which is deteriorating fast, he became concerned so at least he touched me.

I will keep in touch with the patches and pain clinic.

Hope everybody is having a pain free day as possible.

Gentle Hugs

Hello Vicky

It is good to hear from you I just wish it wan't with you being in so much pain. I am not on the patches but have known several people that say they help. With any medication it depends on the person. I hope your doctor or the pain doctor can find some relief for you. Did he suggest any thing else like therapy or test?
