Ok first off, Id like to add that unless your offering helpful advice, DONT ANSWER! I will report anyone who calls me drug seeking. This is called Yahoo answers not a bunch of people who are on their high horse, busy bodies. I have a chronic pain condition. I have Fibromyalgia and RA & also chronic fatique. I was in a car accident 10 yrs ago, that i believe initiated the Fibro. I also fell 6 ft onto concrete 3 wks ago & was injured quite bad. I currently take tramadol, 2 vicoden 5 mgs, paxil & a thyroid med.
I try to take hot baths, & tried Capsasin Hp, i liked it but when i went to sleep & woke up my legs felt like they were on fire. So i use Icy Hot, Aspercreme, massage therapy & am going to do water therapy.
I went to a chiropractor who said i needed extensive work, I dont have insurance, so this is not an option. My dad was cut off his vicodin after 5 yrs, when his doc moved. Even though they said his back is so bad they were surprised he wasnt in a wheelchair. I am thinkin of trying Neurontin. But anyway the Q is are u allowed to get on Suboxone if you are not a hard core narcotic user. I am not addicted, & dont get withdrawals. I have used more than 10 mg of norco. How do you get started on Suboxone treatment? A DOC? Do people take Sub for chronic pain?? & finally does anyone know a pain clinic in the Cleveland area who takes no insurance patients??? thank you! And again no stupid comments, if you have never lived in my shoes, you have no idea what my everyday life is like. NO PREACHING

You would get started on it at a pain center, which manages what you are given and any progress that is good or any that worsens. I do have some ideas what you are going through because my wife has a multitude of conditions, one of which is Fibromyalgia. I don’t know if anyone has ever explained to you exactly what Fibromyalgia is, but one day on TV a Doctor explained it this way, and I then understood why my wife would hurt even by a flick of a finger anywhere on her body. He said lay out a piece of steak, and see the white streaks in that meat, those are gristle and they become hard with fibromyalgia. My wife used to swim a lot at our community indoor pool, but that stopped when something happened to the heater because the water was to cold for her. But while she was swimming she always felt great afterwards. I had a whirlpool tub installed and she started to use it, which feels great for her. She takes Neurontin 300 mg’s twice a day, she takes MS Contin 45 Mg’s three times a day,(Doesn’t come in 45 so she takes a 30 Mg and a 15 Mg’s three times a day) She takes Percocet 5/325 Mg’s four times a day. If she took none of these, she wouldn’t be able to walk. Stay away from the Chiropractor’s because there is nothing they can do for Fibromyalgia, except maybe some microdine treatments. Your best defense right now is excercise in water, warm water. Keep up with the hot aths while you can still get in and out of one, rub Aspercreme or other pain gels wherever it hurts. At our Pharmacy they have what is called Perform. It comes in a cream and a roll on. They sell it at Walmarts and it does help her for a while, but you can use it as often as you like. It has a smell at first, but quickly dissapates. I do know what your everyday life is because it lives in my home, I see it everyday when my wife just tries to get up from a sitting position, and yells with pain. I wish for you the very best Kellie and I wish I could tell you more. I just wish that someone can find a cure for this awful condition. I am sure out there somewhere some organization or the local Health Dept, can help you. Just get on the phone and start enquiring, call the state if need be, they are probably the ones who put you in your predicament. Good luck to you.
