Hi,
I'm so sorry you have FM, I've had it since 1995. I worked very closely with a rheumatologist for three years to design a regimen that works for me. We are all individual and the 120+ potential issues that can affect those with fibromyalgia are different for everyone. Some need medication (or a combination of meds), others physical therapy and others need counseling (or a combination of all three!). I take a cocktail of meds that help with Restless Legs Syndrome, insomnia, pain and inflammation. I stay away from all opioid medications as they never helped me. I've also dealt with migraines, IBS, and various other issues but fibro can be managed. My main advice is to not let fibro run your life or use it as a label for your life. You have fibro, it does not have you!

May I ask what your medication cocktail is?
