ibromyalgia
"I have fibromyalgia. As one of the other people commented, sometimes the pain is so bad I wouldn't be able to function. I take 1-2 tramadol per day most days and on really bad days I take 4 spaced throughout the day. The pain isn't entirely gone but I think it also helps my mood too so I can deal with the pain.  With it I am able to function well and keep a physically demanding job. Vicodin has no effect on me. I don't have any side effects from the Tramadol. I'm pretty bullet proof."
