Too many of us with fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS) have been denied pain killers, especially opiates, because doctors are afraid of creating addicts and possibly even facing criminal charges.

The administrators of the ‘Living With ME’ website do not advocate the use of any particular type of medication, treatment or healthcare! YOU should ALWAYS seek advice from a DOCTOR / GP / CONSULTANT before undertaking or ceasing any treatment!
