      Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 5 years ago. Also have Keinbock Disease in both wrists and arthritis in lower back.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      Helped for a while

      Helps sometimes
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Took for several years. Did not help after a while and was TERRIBLE tapering off. I do not recommend this to my friends the withdrawal is worse than other, more powerful medications. I am not sure why.

      Would like to try but very fearful of weight gain and other side effects. I gain weight very easily and have just lost 40 pounds. Don't want to gain again which will increase my overall health problems.

      Helps when I have time.
