Hi Lora! Welcome!
I have IBS and fibro too. I've been going up to PA for treatments every 2 weeks to the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue center in King of Prussia, PA, and they've been really great. I was only diangosed with fibro recently, but have been having symptoms since I was 7, the same time I started having problems with IBS.
What are you taking for IBS? Mine is IBS-D, pain-predominant, so I've been on long-term pain therapy, plus donatal, loperamide, hyoscysamine (sp?), and simethicone. The codiene I take really cuts down on my attacks too.
For fibro I sake soma, baclofen, and amatryptaline (though only sparingly because I don't tolerate the effects well). I also take vicodin for break-through pain. I'm on a lot of supplements too (A LOT)! What I noticed helps the most is Energy Extract and Calcium+D 1800mgs.
Glad to have you here!
