@swift Hi I have had fibromyalgia for longer then I want to remember. There,s no cause or cure that Dr,s know of so we have to find things that help us. I have a fibro toolbox of things. Ice is great inflammatory fighter use it when you feel swollen in some area . Hot water helps get the blood flowing which is healing it last for awhile. Those are the 2 main item I use . Rest ,say NO when you feel its to much., I use a TEN,S unit for tight muscles this relaxes them. A massage is great . Heating pad is a must . Hope some of this will help .
