Hey there,
I take hydrocodone for fibromyalgia and Chronic Epstein Barr.
My main symptom that the hydrocodone helps is this general "achiness" that I get by mid afternoon. I can only describe as the feeling you get when you have the flu. You know that overall just icky, achy, blah feeling?
I have that nearly daily; especially when I exercise or assert myself at all. It's annoying.
My dr. insists I can't get addicted on the hydrocodone if I take it only when I'm in pain- some days I don't take it all, other days, I take 2 or 3 pills.
I usually cut mine in half ( 5/500) and if the half doesn't help, I'll take the whole thing.
It's about the only thing that helps enough to keep me functioning so I can care for my children.
Have you considered asking for something like that for pain? I know some doctor's are freaked out by it but mine is very sensitive to pain issues.
What is your RX?
