Re: Fibromyalgia

10 years so far....Vitamins, lots of water, daily exercise(walking is best), low stress, change your job if its too horrible, benadryl 25 mg each night at 8:30 for a good sleep by 10, stay away from night turn if possible. Yeah I had the rheumatologist, and the neurologist, they to me were a waste of time. There is no cure, and you have to be your own advocate and do what makes you feel better. I have chosen not to take lyrica. I choose to take advil, tylenol in any form does not work for me. Warm baths are very good for the jerky, muscle tension. I have had some injections on my right hand, but they do not seem to last long anymore. Its a good idea to have your vitamin D level done, alot of fibromyalgia patients have oseopenia or porosis. Im looking forward to fosamax, lol. That sounds sooo bad! Hey, everyone has something, so you have to choose to fight this!

Re: Fibromyalgia

I also have Fibro, it came with my Epstein-Barr and my Lymes. I find that what really helps is diet, no wheat, sugar, dairy and plenty of rest.

Some days I can tell if I'm getting a flair of EB and I've had Lymes so many times that I have re-fillable antibiotics and I also have to take Diflucan when on the ABX's.

Try looking for an alternative Doc type.

Google Lymes and EB forums there are lots out there and you will find a lot of help for your fibro.

Good luck
