Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

I have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (since 2009). I have tried chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, Lyrica, Gabapentin, physical therapy, chiropractic neurologist (gut health, food sensitivity testing, vibration plate, eye lights, supplements, etc), Savella, lidocaine, and I can’t remember what else. The only thing that worked for me was Effexor Xr. This is similar to Cymbalta but it’s used off label. There can be withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly but it was something I was willing to accept for the trade off of 90% or more pain relief from fibromyalgia. I hope you find what works best for you
