How do you deal with your Fibromyalgia pain?
How do you deal with your Fibromyalgia pain? My daughter was diagnosed with it at a young age and as her mother it is hard to watch her suffer.
Fibromyalgia causes a lot of symptoms. To help eliminate my neck, shoulder pain and my TMJ I have found a low dose of Prozac to help tremendously. I've also found that it has helped me to sleep. As to the sleep, I didn't see immediate improvement, but after three months I'm sleeping great. As to the pain, I found the Prozac to begin helping within a couple of weeks with greater relief after 2 months.
do you know of any natural remedies? I will pass the info on to her, she has never really been able to sleep well either.
As the others have stated, exercise helps tremendously. I exercise everyday, which include stretching. My doctor referred me to a physical therapist who showed me some simple stretching exercises that helped to control the pain.
I use prescription medications and at home treatments..
For pain:mucinex works wonder's,after a week of taking it, it makes almost all of the pain go away. I also use magnesium, it helps with muscle and nerve pain, and fatigue..Encourage her to go for a walk everyday,it really does help.Stretching,Using an exercise ball..
I have a hub about fms and treatments,im going to give you the make fms link because it has my other two fms hubs in it.

i hope it helps
I think a lot of people dismiss fibromyalgia as the disease of the day. As one who suffers from it, I can say that is NOT true - it is real and it is very painful. Mine has progressed to the point that often I can barely walk because of the pain.
For me I try to get a lot of rest as I find that the more rested I am the better the pain levels are. That and ibuprofen is all I do.
I am scared to death of anti-depressants or drugs like Lyrica. So I just haven't tried those.
Its unusual that it's diagnosed at a you age. I don't have fibromyalgia but have given therapy to several patients that did. The idea is to manage it so she's comfortable. I actually wrote a hub on it previously. Hope it helps.
