I was resently diagnosed with Fibro. I had been told I've had it for about 15 years but would not except that I did. I also have degenerative disk desease, OA, and Depression. I too suffer from bad leg cramps, pain, heaviness in my legs from the Febro. I get bad head aches and depression from all of the above. I went to a new Doc last week. So nice. He explained everything and I now know I definetly have Fibro. He added a new medication that has really help with the Fibro pain called Tramadol. I am now taking a combination of Vicodin for the OA and other pain issues I have and Tramadol for Fibro, Cymbalta for pain from Fibro and depression, Clonazepam for aniexty and Ambien to sleep. I am also stretching, trying to be more active and doing a lot of self talk. I too will be happy to take any other suggestions anyone has. I hope this helps you to know you are not alone.

Vitamin D has been shown to change hormone levels in body (not really a vitamin) and really helps with depression. Also, tramadol is really constipating for some people, so be careful with that one. I would really try and replace drugs with common side effects with more natural solutions like Vitamin D (depression) vs Cymbalta and Melatonin (sleep) vs Muscle Relaxers / Ambien. You might be surprised at how well they work.
