It worked! I was diagnosed with Fibro and Chronic Migraines at Mayo Clinic about 5 years ago. Before I went to the Mayo it was a rollercoaster ride of different specialists, pain clinics, neurologists. They all had different diagnosis and "treatments ". Just like others in the post, it has just been a blur of different drugs and procedures that didn't work. Going to the Mayo was such a blessing because I finally received answers and help. (I still go every three months) BUT, I feel like I have gotten to the point of no return. The pain is so intense and unrelenting lately...like every cell in my body is screaming. I was hoping to reach out to people who know what I'm going through. That may have new ideas or words of wisdom. I have a great family, friends, etc. but they don't know what it is really like and some days I just can't fake it anymore. So sorry to be so wordy...thank you

So sorry for the pain you went through now knowing what you have you can find the right help. A pain Dr. Can help you I've had fibro 30 yrs and it has gotten worse since I'm 75 now The rheumatologist I have always gone to put me on Cymbalta this is helping .I take Tramadol and Meloxicam In morning I drink Ginger,Tumeric tea they are anti inflammatory There's are spices you can drink more if needed.A hot shower relieved the pain Tens unit for those tight muscles stretching your muscles light exercising I do a chair exercise.Sorry I can't help for migrants ,cool washcloth and dark room help hope you get some relief

Thank you for the suggestions of stretching and ho t showers. I need to get back to doing those simple things that
actually help. Tramodol and meloxicam have not worked for me. I do take oxycotin. Iwill try the tumeric tea.
