Health - your medical conditions and your doctors attitude to pain meds...

[bloodred1889]

swim was diegnosed with fibromyalgia a while back before this swim had an ongoing battle with the doctors trying to get swim off her painkillers because of the worry of addiction, despite swim saying she was in alot of pain.anyway finally she was diegnosed with fibromyalgia and after reading up on it swsim was happy that finally she knew what was wrong wiith her, finally she could get some pain relief without doctors saying no... but she was wrong!

swims doctor said that they dont treat fibromyalgia with strong painkillers and instead all you need is exercise and anti depressents.
but swim is in so much pain she cant sleep, she crys at night, her legs are weak, she cant stand up for long or walk very far and gets out of breath so easily. swim dosnt know how to handle her doctors beacuse they have now taken her painkillers away and said no more.

so anyway swim was wandering what medical conditions you people have and what your doctors attitude is to precribing you medicine for it...if you dont mind sharing...
do you have to always beg for medicine, or purswade them. or does your doctor give you what you want?

swim is thinking of asking for tramadol, and trying to compromise with her doctor, if anyone has any advice that would be helpfull.

but yeah swim eagaly awaits your answers.
