Positive coping strategies for Fibromyalgia

Here is a list of positive coping strategies:
Talking to a Friend or Family Member
Praying
Meditation
Exercise
Relaxation Techniques
Talking to a Professional
Joining a Support Group
Getting Involved in Hobbies
Reading About Fibromyalgia

Apparently these were the top 10 suggestions, made by 600 fibro sufferers, in no particular order except the first three listed: 
"The positive coping strategy reported most frequently by the respondents was talking to a friend or family member (62.4%). 

Praying ranked second with 60.2% of respondents using this technique. 

Exercise was reported by 59.4%, which makes it the
third most popular strategy."

This was a study done by D.J. Clauw - Fibromyalgia: More than just a musculoskeletal disease. Am Fam Physician 52(3):843-851, 1995.

Where do they get their information about Fibromyalgia?

Don't you just love it when you read that your fibromyalgia can be cured with exercise, diet and relaxation? These articles must be written by people who do not have fibromyalgia or who had a mild dose, of something similar, for 3 months.
I especially love the websites that ask you to pay money to get the secret cure!
Sorry, enough of the sarcasm. The National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association (NFMCPA) states "While there is currently no cure for fibromyalgia, better ways to diagnose and treat the chronic pain disorder continue to be developed."

While there are ways you can control your symptoms, you should be wary of any products or treatments that claim to cure fibromyalgia." Read more...

Of course there are a variety of things that can help manage the symptoms of fibromyalgia from pain management to sleep management to Complementary therapies and supplements including acupuncture, massage, movement therapies such as yoga, and dietary supplements such as calcium, vitamin D.
