Hi,

I am waiting my insurance approval for RNY surgery.  I hope to have surgery before the end of the year.  Yesterday at my last Nurse appt (weight/loss/diet supervised) the nurse told me i could no longer take Mobic for my fibro.  I have just recently been diagnosed (although no one has "officially" given me that "title" ) My PCP started me on Cymbalta and Mobic a few weeks ago.  I feel that the mobic is sort of helping? Has anyone else taken Mobic before or after surgery?  Also, has anyone read the book "What your doctor has NOT told you about Fibromyalgia"?  Or heard of taking Guaifenesin? (the main ingred in Mucinex)..Also, has anyone felt that their Fibro has gotten WORSE, since having WLS?  I am so worried, and feeling down about the fibro, hopeing that WLS will make me feel better, but not sure what to do?  Thanks for any input!  Karil

Ouch!  Sorry to hear about the broken leg.  That's not good, but your husband is too funny!

A broken leg; that doesn't sound too fun !!!
How did you do that ??
Gee, I wi**** was that easy "just stop eating those fiber bars".
gentle hugs your way.

I agree, there is no reason to suffer the pain while undergoing all the tests and actually the only reliable fibro test is to check for trigger points and that only takes a matter of a few minutes. Plus a pain clinic is going to be more apt to give you drugs to help with the pain. Good luck!

Hi!  I am looking for a dr. to treat my  (some what) newly diagnosed fibro.  I live in Alabama. I am soooo tired of going to a dr. only to be blown off.  I have tried Lyrica and it does nothing for me. I am at the point that I want to go to a pain clinic to get some relief, but I don't really know what to do.  I went to a fibro "specialist" this week, but she wants to run all these tests and it is going to take months.  (she won't treat until all tests are back) I am in pain and I am discouraged that I will ever feel better again! :(  Help if you can. Thanks!
