Hi John, I am I guess what you would call a new be to this chronic pain. About six months I'd severe pain. My problem is when I see a Dr or have seen a Dr. They have given me x rays mRI's looking for joint deterioration and found only moderate for my age of 72. I am a very active out door person and I know what I have is a case of fibromyalgia. Where or who can I ask for to see me for this condition? So far I have been run in circles and I feel they just want money. I also only take plant based or native treatment based medicine. I do not believe in chemical based treatments. I am into meditation and exercise for this and food management helps. Please who can I see for this or I can take suggestions from other's on self helps.

There are chemicals in all kinds of medicines, even plant based, or they would not work
You may consider an alternative medicine provider, acupuncture and/or medical cannabis if available in your location.
I had suffered for MANY~MANY years. Elavil gives me a GREAT nights sleep and help the pain, although I have not enjoyed relief much other than the sleep. I am sure you know how much negative sleep contributes to the pain. My lucky day was when I discovered a massage therapist whose focus was on Fib. The horrible aching. Knock on wood, I hope this continues. Mainly on my back. I haven't had any in several years. Good luck!
