Hi Patti, Hi Everyone, just catching up on all the info here - it's alot! I recently asked a nurse I know if she could recommend any local GP's who would/could deal with FMS and she thought for about 5 seconds, and said NO! So nothing in that area.

I was talking to a woman at the health club today and she is on a pain medication patch. She says it's some kind of narcotic. She has severe back and leg pain and a messed up stomach. Has anyone tried a patch? This gal goes to a young doctor that apparently has some of the newer info on pain protocol. She was referred to a pain clinic in Seattle at one of the major hospitals. Here's an avenue.

Cynthia, the NSAIDS did help me while I took them, maybe because I am supposed to have osteoarthritis also - I don't know. But my stomach is alot happier these days. My feet are beginning to feel stupid again, off to the hot tub, my place of sanity.

God loves us!
