Once again, thanks so much for caring about my well-being. :-) Things are just wonderful now though -- I saw that doctor and she prescribed Duragesic-50!! Jesus, I though I'd get oxycodone at the most, lol. But it's slowly kicking in (takes several hours to begin working, being a patch and all) and my god, what a relief.

As to the nature of fibromyalgia/CFS, no one can say for sure. Some doctors don't even believe they exist. Some theories that have been proposed involve substance P and inability to fall into the deep stages of sleep. The latter hypothesis seems quite likely, as Xyrem works wonderfully for fibromyalgia and it's a drug that greatly enhances the quality of sleep. Unfortunately I can't use it because Medicaid won't cover it for off-label purposes, but as soon as it's approved for fibro (they're about to start clinical trials) I'm surely going on it.
