Wonder why I see a loy of people taking NSAIDS like Ibprofen and musclle relaxants
Other drugs to say the least, I feel arent being prescribed right
I am a Pharmacy Tech so I know what they should be prescribed for

The only thing I'm taking s naproxen. I spent years downing the IB because of shoulder pain after a car accident. Really messed up my stomach. Had to have surgery on my esophagus because all of the acid reflux had caused scar tissue to start forming and was closing off my esophagus. Don't take IB at all. The rest of the meds have done nothing for the fibromyalgia pain and I don't take anything that doesn't help. The naproxen helps after PT. Not sure if everything I'm feeling after PT is fibromyalgia pain, or if maybe I'm getting regular pain when try to build muscles again, so it takes that away. I have not found anything that cuts the pain completely so I just suffer through.

Time to organise and phone our reps and sens all on the same day.
Letters are often tossed and emails deleted. A senator's aid told me this.

Uh I don't but I'm allergic to muscle relaxants and I don't have imflammation problems so those meds won't help so no sense to take in my case. I'm really sensitive to meds. In some ways it's really cool in other ways it sucks.

I took Naproxen so long that it was erroding my esophagus to the point that food would get stuck causing me to throw up every time I ate, the pain management Dr put me on two different meds to take the place of Naproxen, at least now I can eat without throwing up.
