Hi from Montana! This is very helpful and I just wanted to say thank you. My daughter has Fibromyalgia and I was struggling to find medical updates on the topic. I'd like to keep up with what's happening.
ReplyDeleteHi from Sydney, Australia! Glad you found it helpful Caroline but sorry to hear your daughter has Fibromyalgia.
DeleteThanks for sharing these Lee. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteTerri, thanks for letting me know
DeleteThanks for all the info,I have been suffering from fibromyalgia for 12 years and I can honestly say I'm at the end of the rope right now no treatment seems to work and I'm done trying new meds as I have already tried so many and have been so desapointed with the results
ReplyDeleteMy life has no quality or joy anymore and it's a very lonely place,I'm running out of hope that one day I will be better
I'm so sorry to hear this. I completely understand your feelings. I have felt like this myself. No medications have helped me very much or for long term without strong side effects. All the improvements I have seen have come from alternate therapies such as acupuncture and homeopathy and myofscial massage. I have written about my experiences with them on my blog. While these natural treatments do not get rid of all the symptoms of Fibromyalgia they do help me very much. I hope you have had a chance to talk to someone about your feelings. Also we have a private facebook group where I can talk to you called FIBRO CONNECT. I and others are all happy to help more there.
