ReplyDeleteabsintheminded I feel your anger at there not being enough helpful treatments for fibromyalgia pain and all the other symptoms. That's why I have tried so many natural treatments myself because nothing prescribed for me ever gave much relief. That's why I blog alot about alternative treatments.

Hope you find something that helps you with the pain.
