I'm in so much discomfort right now. Been on prescription NSAIDs for 5 years for severe Fibro. Going cold turkey. Surgery in two weeks. Tylenol just isn't cutting it. Then I learn I have to change another staple med I have because it's an ER form but they don't make a non ER release form so my Dr needs to find a new/compatible med real fast. Shitz getting real

@@Tina1969 I went through Mayo's Pain Rehab a year ago because I have chronic pain due to a nerve condition called Thalamic Pain Syndrome. I have it as a result of a stroke I had 11/27/13. I'm on Gabapentin and Lyrica. They both come in liquid form. Have you ever been on either of them? I'm in 24/7 pain even with the meds but I can't imagine if I wasn't on them. They're actually membrane suppressants and not pain killers but I know Lyrica works for my best friend who has Fibro. Just an idea.

Lyrica comes in liquid form?!? I've been off my Lyrica for 6 weeks now and had been doing pretty well but I've started a fibromyalgia flare and it really sucks because Tylenol doesn't even touch it. Time to put in a call to my rheumatologist! :P

@@Tina1969, hope everything works out for you. I know living with fibro is no fun at all. The one thing that has helped me (until this flare) is that my rheumatologist prescribed a cream for me. It has a combination of things in, one being high dosage NSAID but since it's not ingested my bariatric surgeon said it's not a problem. I can't give you the name of it as it is made patient specific so there really isn't one. It's made by a place called Transdermal Therapeutics if that helps in talking to your rheumatologist. Good luck!

I also have a prescription for a cream. It is compounded by the pharmacy each time I refill. It is great for arthritis in my knee and for fibro.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
