    I completely agree with every word of your posting. I would not be able to even get out of bed without my opiate pain med. I too, have been on my pain medication for four years, along with Gabapentin, and I would never dream of abusing them. I have a wonderful pain management doctor that I see every four weeks and they monitor my pain med use very closely. I suffer with fibro, crps, osteoarthritis and many other fibro related symptoms. I do not understand how these doctors can say that opiates are not effective in the treatment of fibro. Unless they have it they do not understand it. Good luck to you too and very gentle hugs back!

      I also have CRPS. I was just wondering how it was diagnosed. And what treatments have you had, and what meds have you had to treat it? If you don’t mind me asking.
