So, after years and years of dealing with chronic pain, visiting doctors who wouldn't take me seriously and put me on NSAIDS (anti-inflammatory's) like ibuprofen and celebrex, that work great for joint pain but do jackshit for muscular pain like I experience, I finally got diagnosed with what I figured was the problem all along. I have fibromyalgia, and I've been prescribed flexiril a muscle relaxer to take at night before bed. It's done wonders for my insomnia, and supposedly takes about a week to get full effects. So far, the muscle pain has only been reduced somewhat, but this is a starting point. Thank god.
