Ask them to rule out reactivation of virus, .do you have a history of chickenpox, mono, or covid, The neurological pain from reactivation of these can mimic fibromyalgia, It is important to find out if they can find something that is treatable, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a bad bought of flu, for the best way of coping I found an organic Mediterranean diet and daily waking and light weights helped, as well as pacing activity, .too much exercise or activity made it worse and too little made it worse, Breathing exercises and guided imagry tapes by Belleruth Napersteak have been very helpful, .decreasing my toxic load has been helpful, I used EWG.org and consumer lab.com to find the least toxic products and foods, I keep plants like ferns and Sansevieria in my bed room to help clean the air and increase O2, I was able to continue working as a nurse until 2022 when I had too many other medical problems, I hope this helps, Tjey are doing more research all the time and I hope someday they will have better answers for fibromyalgia suffers,

I do not have a history. Had chicken pox once as a child and covid years ago, also once.

Thank you for all the other info. I’m starting a more Mediterranean diet today actually! My diet has been terrible since I’ve been in constant pain. My meds have helped a lot but I’ve been extremely stressed and it has gotten worse. I will absolutely look into the advice you have graciously shared.
