Abstract

ABSTRACT: Questions from patients about pain conditions and analgesic pharmacotherapy and responses from authors are presented to help educate patients and make them more effective self-advocates. In reply to a question about fibromyalgia, the authors discuss symptoms, the use of opioids and naltrexone, other medication and nonmedication options, and managing expectations for treatment.
