Mayo Clinic's Fibromyalgia Clinic
Has anyone been to the Fibromyalgia Clinic at Mayo? My 21 year old daughter is scheduled to go in May and we are wondering if anyone found it helpful? My daughters fibro is very severe and so far the medications we have tried have not helped.

Thanks so much. I’ve subscribed to your recommended newsletter and will check out the book, too.
Colleen, I only attended the week in jan2012. The exercises, medication, and Walking up to 3 miles 4 to 5 times a week My biggest problem is my arthritis. The biofeedback session at Mayo is utilized when the pain inhibits ADLs. I think the biggest problem fibromyalgia presents is depression. I make a conscientious effort to get up and get going. Also, it is important to take a short nap at least a few times each week. Meditation is difficult for me but I can see how it could help. I would love to get back to Rochester for a basic check up. I truly trust the doctors there.EMR, nashville
I went through Mayo's Fibromyalgia Clinic about 3+ years ago. My condition has become more chronic, and sometimes overwhelming. I have tried the three FDA approved meds, without much success What is the latest information on this syndrome? Would there be any advantage if I revisited your Clinic? Thank you.
Take a look at low dose naltrexone. It may help you. Blessings to you.<br />
