Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’m suffering from tremendous pain throughout my entire body. I am a gulf war veteran with many other heath conditions from the experimental anthrax vaccine. Many of my comrades suffer with fibromyalgia and I suppose that I have now joined the gang. I can’t sleep. Even the cover on my leg hurts. Went through emergency and the doctor prescribes me diazepam when I am already on 1mg clonapin four times a day. My pharmacist said not to take it. Motrin or naproxen is helping. In tears and hurting too bad too Drive and sit in emergency. Please advise
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I am sorry for the pain you are feeling all over your body. It seems to be fibromyalgia. Rheumatologist to consult as soon as possible and to run diagnostic tests. For the moment, continue taking Motrin alternating with Naproxen. You can add magnesium supplement to reduce the muscle spasms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
