All 3 referrals I've had so far resulted in denials, on 900mg gabapentin 3 x daily, duloxetine 60mg per day, naproxen 500mg 2 x daily, cyclobenzaprine 10mg 2 x daily.

I've had to move back home due to the cost of living be so high and my mum has taken my dihydrocodeine from me. She says I take it everyday and am addicted. She says that I should just take paracetamo and be on a pain patch. I'm only taking my dihydrocodeine as prescribed for my slipped discs and p

25F just recently diagnosed so I went to the pharmacy to pick up pregabalin prescribed by my rheumatologist. Of course I hadn’t taken it before so I asked the pharmacist to go over it with me. He asks “what’s it for”? I say “fibromyalgia” then the comments of “wow you’re pretty young for that”. I gu
