"this medicine has allowed me to function. i haven been taking it for 3 years because i have adverse reactions to asa and all nsaids. chronic pain from rheumatoid/osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia,  cervical and lumbar injuries from auto accident.  i see a pain management physician for steroid injections when i need to and use norco.  i may still have days where some tasks are a no go; some time limitations doing chores also. i adhere to the dosing schedules although the bedtime dose i cut in half for better sleep. this medication in combination with cymbalta and an occasional flexeril allows me to do much more during the course of a day. i am very happy about the low dose acetaminophen. i get regular blood studies."
