I have fibro for over 30 years. I have found that over the years there is no pain medication that helps with the pain. Exercise for me is the only thing that helps. You must move or it gets worse. When you get a flare, rest for a while,then start moving your body. Even if it means just talking a walk. I have been diagnosed many times. My Rummatogist has given me a low dose of flexeril at bedtime. It makes me sleep thru the night ,not wake up 15 times. My fibro has improved immensely .

Hello @nancirae, I would also like to welcome you to Connect and thank you for sharing your story. I have pain with my polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and I'm currently tapering off of prednisone. You are so right about the exercise - it is very important to keep at it even if you don't feel like doing it. I've found that I have to do my exercise in the morning as soon as I get up to get me loosened up for the day. I try to make sure I do my exercise 4 to 5 days a week.
