carisoprodol

Fioricet, Tramadol, Ultracet at the cheapest prices
Only thing to do is see your doctor. Swelling and bloating could be something totally different like heart or kidney disease.

carisoprodol
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia over 4 years ago but have had it a few years longer than that. What works best for me is following the blood type diet (do a google search on it). I am O+ and if I avoid wheat, dairy, and potatoes products amoung other things, I have a lot more energy, don’t feel bloated much at all, and my muscles feel better. Rainy days like today I feel lousy, but them I only slept 5 1/2 hours last night. I do not take any drugs for it. I have not had advil but once in the past 2 months. Hope this helps.
Taking Fioricet
steriods don’t help much with Fibromyalgia-there is no inflammtiom–
if yo have inflammtion you need to explore your diagnosis further
Fibromyalgia is beleived to be a disorder of teh central nervous system. the most promising medications are Neurological in nature (not musculoskeletal)

Yes read my Yahoo blog, I have one entry called “what helps me” where you can read what I have found to help my case of fibro. Every patient is different but much of what I learned is simply lifestyle and dietary changes. You will never know unless you try.
Steroids are not generally given for fibromyalgia. I suggest you find another rheumatologist if they are considering putting you on steroids.
