What do they do for fibromyalgia?

Posted by ohiogirl42986 @ohiogirl42986, 1 day ago

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago and I lost my pain. Doctor and my rheumatologist doesn’t know what to do with me so what do they actually do to help with fibromyalgia because I know it’s treatable not curable

Take care of yourself

Eat a healthy diet
Exercise get on a good program that you could use for life.

Hi @ohiogirl42986, you're right that fibromyalgia, while not curable, can be managed. Here's some information from Mayo Clinic about treatments and things you can do for self care.

Self care and knowing your body and your triggers is really important. I like the wise advice that @minnesota10 shared to listen to your body. Only you know you.

@ohiogirl42986, you mention "I lost my pain." Can you explain a bit more? Is your pain well managed? What symptoms are you and the rheumatologist finding hard to manage?
