I also would like your suggestions for sleep and a muscle relaxant. It's hard to relax when your foot hurts as much as it does. My doc doesn't want me on a muscle relaxant and something for sleep when on everything else. He says that I should just enjoy the extra time I'm awake and use it to my advantage. Unfortunately, the lack of a good nights sleep only makes the pain worse. My Dr. is Chinesse and English is a second language for him. It's his way or no way. Do I need to find another Dr. or is toughing out the sleep problem one I should just deal with it. Frustrated in California I just emailed you about the FMS and neuropathy.

I'm on a number of meds for chronic pain. One is FMS, the one for which I take the meds is the neuropathy in my entire left foot (accident), and half of my right foot. I am now on Duregesic 100 mcq q 48hrs, and methadone 10mg, 1 -4 times a day. I'm also on Neurontin 600mg, 4 times a day. I've still had a considerable amount of pain. Walking is still very painful after 3 years, including a surgery from a specialist which was supposed to fix it.......I was so disappointed. I walk in home 3 miles a day for the past month (missed a few days) to try and keep the FMS in check. The FMS pain used to be helped tremendously with the 3 miles, but since having the neuropathy, it seems to trigger the pain of the FMS. I'm already taking large does of laxatives and otc to bulk the stool. I eat a large salad everyday, and try to keep my diet having a lot of fiber in it. I still feel very bloated though. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time. Thanks so much for all the great information. I’m on a number of meds for chronic pain.
