I attended the Fibromyalgia Clinic in Rochester in January 2012 and it changed my life for the better. It was a full five day week of various tests and information. There was honesty, sharing of information, and sincere compassion.<br />
I had to increase the medication after six months but my rheumatologist is monitoring my condition.<br />
She was pleased with the report from the clinic and the information about the new medication. I had been on Lyrica......bad bad medication. The change to Savella saved me. I think the Mayo Clinic is the place for all who have been diagnosed or think they have Fibro. You will not be sorry. <br />

Welcome back to Connect @edriaragosin! Hearing from someone who has been there is so helpful for new members like @chbeck769.

Edria, did you only have to visit the clinic once and since been managing your health with your rheumatologist closer to home?

Colleen, I only attended the week in jan2012. The exercises, medication, and Walking up to 3 miles 4 to 5 times a week My biggest problem is my arthritis. The biofeedback session at Mayo is utilized when the pain inhibits ADLs. I think the biggest problem fibromyalgia presents is depression. I make a conscientious effort to get up and get going. Also, it is important to take a short nap at least a few times each week. Meditation is difficult for me but I can see how it could help. I would love to get back to Rochester for a basic check up. I truly trust the doctors there.EMR, nashville<br />
