Managing fibromyalgia
Hello everyone, I am looking for anyone who suffers from fibromyalgia and can suggest healing methods, medication and I would like to compare symptoms. Mine feels as if I had the flu, headache, joint aches, terribly tired, pain around the glands, stomach pain, low back. If lyou can please write with any comment or suggestion for relief, or any idea what causes it I will appreciate it thank you.

I'm not sure what the discussion on fibromyalgia has been I'VE been down for a long time. I have had 8 spinal surgeries and after 20 + years opened my mouth to my rheumatologistt sometimes I hurt all over. I also have 4 immune diseases diagnosed at a two week stay at the best hospital in my state. My doctor worked me over for 30 minutes and sad add fibromyalgia to the list. He said prednisone would be best but to dangerous so he gave me soma which helps a lot. I'll leave it at that for now. briansr.
I have found bi-weekly full body massages to be extremely helpful in my overall general well being. I also find baths heavy with epsom salts and sea salts helpful. My doctor just prescribed Trazodone at bedtime this week, and I do believe I am waking more rested. I have chronic pressure urticaria (hives), chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, degenerative osteoarthritis, chronic clinical depression, restless leg syndrome, obesity, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Is there any group that discusses Fibro and chronic pain?
Hi @tbeckys, and welcome to Connect. I moved your message over to this discussion on managing fibromyalgia. I'd like to introduce you to several members on Connect, including @ladyjane85, @disgusted, @robbinr and @1langla. I'd also like you to meet two of our mentors, @dawn_giacabazi and @johnwburns. There is also a Chronic Pain group that you may find resourceful: http://mayocl.in/2cBiRN5.
@tbeckys, can you tell us a little more about yourself?
