Palmar: Erythema is not directly associated to fm. Morphine is not a good treatment for fm. Both the drug and fm can make you fatigued. Deep sleep is important.. Full evaluation may explain redness, which could be associated to other illnesses.

Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia should not be treated with opioid. The use of morphine is most likely the culprit for the palmar erythema. There are lots of other medicines which can be used to treat your fibromyalgia. Please find more information on your favorite website on this disease or perform a search for the keyword.
