Fibromyalgia

Posted by lvl @lvl, Jun 7 5:36pm

I’ve been prescribed many things and tried so much for my pain which is unbearable. Can anyone share what works for them best?

Try a heating pad on areas that hurt and use Tylenol. Pain may be from inflammation. I am taking the Tart Cherry Juice & will switch to the Zazzee Tart Cherry after my next bottle, to reduce the cost. I am also having some success with the inflammation by using Boswellia with Frankincense.
If you are having lower back pain and in thighs (try a test of where the muscles are in spasm by pressing on sections of the buttocks). I have found that when sleeping, place a pillow between the legs if sleeping on the side or under the knees if on your back. After a few days, these spasms will subside. Do not use heat but only cold on the sore area. Heat draws the blood to the area and will further complicate things. If using an ice pack of some sort, do not place directly on the skin but have some cloth in between, maybe a small towel or something. I have found ultrasound will break up these spasms but having these treatments cost money and also, if you do not target the cause of the spasms, they will just come back.
I have seen various comments that acupuncture works well. I may try that in the future.
Get sleep, because lack of rest only exacerbates the situation.

I have multiple health issues and am unsure when it's fibromyalgia, I would like to know if anyone else is dealing with this problem.

Yes I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and pots. Syndrome so it’s like a guessing game sometimes
