- Advice/Tips
- I found btw. reading fibro. books and talking w/my Dr. that one pain medication doesn't always work. I have quite a bit more wrong w/me then just fibro. so pain flare ups could come from a number of different reasons. I take the oxycodones in btw. my doses of methadone to try to keep my body feeling less pain.
