@taterjoy Unfortunately, a cure can't be found until medical researchers know what the disease underlying fibromyalgia syndrome is. Fibromyalgia is not a disease. Where we are now: "Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals." (Mayo Clinic website under Fibromyalgia) There's more about neurotransmitters that you can read.

I'm up in years. During my last appointment, I discussed with my primary-care physician that, by the time researchers discover what the disease is and drugs are developed to treat it, I'll already be gone from the earth. On the bright side, some of you youngsters may benefit from the research. But for now we have to find ways to cope and even make ourselves feel better. Doctors can only manage the symptoms with medication.
