"i suffer with fibromyalgia.  after 10 years of constant debilitating pain and fatigue.  vicodan and fentanyl patches were my last resort, almost enough to overdose on, then a doctor finally suggested i drop everything else and use methadone.  i take a very small dose 20mg and it alleviates pain almost completely.  i am resigned to my condition but the methadone has given me back my life, i can work, be a mother to my children and my marriage is wonderful again."
