"have had fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis for 15 years. it has progressed over body and bladder is shrinking. i am on disability. between the lorcet 10&#039;s, muscle relaxers, and occasional xanax, i can function a few days a week. the pain is never completely relieved. i always have breakthrough pain but with pain medicine i can function a little bit better as they take the edge off. a positive attitude and a sense of humor helps a great deal."
