But now my wife as fibromyalga is there any thing besides drugs that can help her, she can t walk very far and when she does she says its like walking marbles, also her tailbone is also very painfull which means she can t sit,,, lay down,,, can t stand up very long, her neck is painful everywhere is,, the doctors seem to know about it in America so why not in United Kingdom. It is no life fo her and she is very sad now I myself worry about her, she said many times she wants to take her own life. I need to know as much as possible, unfortunately we don t have the money to travel to America to get help,, so we need all the help we can get. Thanks steve and my jayne, 55
Hello, Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Drugs like oxycodone is very useful. It has got a psychological aspect and anxiety and depression worsen the symptoms. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. In severe cases, antidepressants like amitriptyline may be added. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
