I am looking for answers to what anyone has found to successfully treat my pain from fibromyalgia. Getting desperate.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Fibromyalgia Support Group.

I've lived with FM for about same as you. I use stretch bands, elliptical, bike & free weights @ gym 2-3 times a week. I've lost over 30 lbs. the past three years. I've been swimming 2 x a week for several months. And I've been eating healthier the past few years. Berries & greens help FM I think. I have to ease into my days usually & sometimes have to push myself to get to the gym. But I don't give up, although the pain does get discouraging. Best to all.

Do you have any suggestions for starting exercises for the stretch bands? Any videos or websites to recommend so I don’t overdo

Low-dose Naltrexone is something I'm trying now and I think it's helping a little. It's hard to tell with Fibro though, because the symptoms come and go like they do, with flares etc. There are no major side effects due to the low dose, although some people have sleep issues, and it doesn't help everyone. If you have questions about it, you can find lots of into on-line. It pills must come from a compounding pharmacy because the that aren't sold in the low doses required.

I tried low dose naltrexone but it didn’t help at all. I hope it works for you!
