Hi.
I am on this forum to hopefully find some information that can help my wife's health problem. I love her and need to do what I can to help her resolve the problem. Basically her problem is one of pain from about her breast area to just above her belly button. Has been there for about 4-6 months in varying amounts from about a 3 to some days of 10 level.
Has had variety of tests done (scans, mris, blood work, bone biopsy, etc. Etc.). Her primary doctor at this point believes it most likely is some variation of fibromyalgia that she was diagnosed as having before. Another doctor she saw few days ago (followup for ulcerated esophagus problem), basically said might be a chronic pain problem...... Need to pursue pain management/alternative medicine path. Last few days since then she has been in pain, and depressed.
....... This whole thing started with her having giant hives back in march, which finally were resolved when she took prednisone which cleared up the hives but left her bloated, and soon after the pain in her chest-abdomen started...... Never did find the cause of the hives.
Her current list of medicine includes: effexor, nadolol, protonix, ambien, levothyroxine, clonazepam, neurotin and hydrocod for pain. Was taking percaset? Before for pain...... Neither seem to help much. She also just stopped taking diazepam (replaces valium) to help her sleep.

Please give me your input.............
Thx.
Bob
