Who Is The Correct Medical Professional To See Regarding Possible CFS / FM?

I have cyclobenzeprine a muscle relaxant for sleep and trazadone.
Hope this helps....Nancy

My problem.. I’m 73 and have smoked pot for over 50 years. If I smoke now I get so high I’m banginig into walls. I think my nervous system is weak from all the pain meds. Oxycodone and 2400 mg of gabapentin for severe neuropathy in my feet. What do you all think. ? I have fallen. I’m a mess. Take insulin for diabetes. Tinnitus. Any real advice.

So loved that episode of The Golden Girls. So true, I think we have all had a similar experience.
