What Is The Medication For Fibromyalgia And Connective Tissue Disorder That Does Not Affect The Platelets?
Hi, I have a combination of Fibromyalgia and Connective Tissue disorder and suffer with both muscle and joint pain. My rheumatologist has tried several anti-inflammatiorys , but they cause my plaletes to go down as I also have ITP. What is a good RX that can take that doesn t affect the platelets but helps with PAIN!

You may discuss with your rheumatologist if he's tried lyrica or gabapentin, methycobalamin or B12 and Tramadol for pain?
Physical therapy is mainstay of treatment.It is said omega3 fatty acids from fish oils, papaya , pineapples reduce inflammation in tissues.fish oil rich mackerel,tuna fish are good.papaya built platelets.
