Have you found anything to successfully treat fibromyalgia pain?

I've lived with FM for about same as you. I use stretch bands, elliptical, bike & free weights @ gym 2-3 times a week. I've lost over 30 lbs. the past three years. I've been swimming 2 x a week for several months. And I've been eating healthier the past few years. Berries & greens help FM I think. I have to ease into my days usually & sometimes have to push myself to get to the gym. But I don't give up, although the pain does get discouraging. Best to all.

Stretch bands are the best. The first thing I do when I wake up is drink water then do 30 minutes stretching with & without bands.

@smartgirl I want to commend you on your approach to chronic pain. You really are a "smart girl", and sound like you have a good handle on what FM throws your way. I graduated Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehab Center (PRC) over a year ago and it changed my life. PRC is a highly successful rehab program that works with FM, among many other chronic conditions, and provides a comprehensive path forward with tools for self-management. You are implementing many of the tools. Keep up the good work!!
