Here in the UAE it is hard to find the right meds to help you deal with the different things that Fibromyalgia brings, and the meds you do find here, are most likely not covered by insurance. Let’s be real, even in most countries it is hard to find the meds you need, because we have no real clue to what Fibromyalgia is. What the doctors do know is that there are some meds that do help some people. What are those meds, well they are like Lyrica, Cymbalta, Savella that has been approved as a Fibromyaglia drugs. Lyrica, was first approved as an anti-seizure medication, before it was the first medication approved to treat Fibromyaglia. Most likely this medication is covered here in the UAE under your insurance. Cymbalta, was the next drug approved for Fibromyaglia and it listed as an anti-depression medication and will most likely will not be covered by your insurance. Savella, has only been approved in the US, and is not available here in the UAE. I must add that all of these drugs are approved in the US as Fibromyaglia medication to help with the pain of Fibromyaglia, and not here as such.
There are other medication used to treat the affects of Fibromyaglia, but are not listed as medication to treat Fibromyaglia. They may include, Tramadol, amitriptyline, and other anti-depression drugs and pain meds. It isn’t the case that anti-depression meds, are given for anti-depression, but to help control the pain and sleep with Fibromyaglia. Some patients with Fibro can and/or might get depress, but that is not always the case.
One of the big problems that I see is that everyone with Fibromyaglia is different, what might work for you, may not work for me. You may have to try different drugs for treatment and also other non-drug treatments, to find your right answer. As I know of, there is no medication to help with sleep here in the UAE. Most patients with Fibromyaglia have a hard time getting that deep sleep that they need to help their bodies repair themselves. If we can control our sleep, I think many of my problems would be reduced. It is so much harder to deal with the pain, when you have not had that good deep sleep.
It you have tried anything that works for you, medication or other treatments?
