And now for something completely different...

Or not. Saw the rheumatologist this morning - was lucky enough to be behind the first patient who it turned out was not well at all, so he was 30 mins late, and then I felt a bit rushed, but I was determined to discuss my concerns. Discussed changing my anti-depressant to one of two others used to treat Fibro as well, but my med is working so why ( Read more... )

I have Ambien CR. it's been a lifesaver. I never had the hangover feeling with it like Benedryl or something else.

Really?? Do you have any weird side effects? I just want to SLEEP, and I said that to him, and he was all "Well, this will help you sleep but it won't help with the pain..."

I am OK with that dude, I just WANT TO SLEEP.

The sores are baffling. A side effect to a medication? A sign something in your immune system is depressed?

Ambien did nothing for me. At most I slept for 3-4 hours. But that would be an improvement for you! So I hope it helps. The bizarre eating/driving episodes only happen in a very few number of cases, but be careful at first!

Thanks...I'm hearing more good than bad...actually the only bad was from the Dr! (and online sources, but people are more apt to complain than compliment)

The sores...don't know. Fibro is not an autoimmune like Lupus or RA, so he suggested I check with some other folks...I'll talk to the dentist when I see him soon. =/

Are they canker like sores? They could just be herpes simplex brought on by the stress of the pain and from work
