Hello,
fibromyalgia is often difficult to treat. Usually there is an association with mental and emotional stress. I recommend counseling if you have a history of depression, anxiety, stress, etc. As it would definitely help. Also make sure to make appropriate lifestyle changes, aerobic exercises, balanced diet, yoga. Also do get you routine blood tests done that include thyroid test and vit d levels. Hope that helps.

Hello Manisha

Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue and other types of discomfort.

Symptoms resemble those of arthritis, but fibromyalgia affects the soft tissue, not the joints.

The cause is unknown, but risk factors include traumatic injury, RA and other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and genetic factors.

There is no cure, but medications, exercise, acuouncture and behavioral therapy can help relieve symptoms and improve sleep quality.

Hello, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (with the tender points test) but have not had a proper detailed understanding of it from the 2 doctors I consulted. I have been asked to take pregabalin sustained release 75 mg and methylcobalamin 1500 mcg for a month and then do myofascial release therapy. I am not keen to take the medications as I prefer to try the physiotherapy first and understand this better and then if nothing else helps and pain becomes very difficult, only then move into medications. To understand it better I joined an online support group and in the process came across other symptoms I seem to have experienced at different times over the last year, but not sure. These include: - out of nowhere migraines headaches (usually mine are triggered by strong smells, skipping breakfast or too much loud noise) - a slightly mild body temperature once in a while - sudden full body pain (like flu body pain) but no fever and no other discomfort for 2 days and it went away. - sitting down, kneeling, or sitting cross legged brings pain to the areas behind my knees. I am 41 years old woman and sometimes I feel like with all these dull aches and pains I am maybe 70-80. But do not want to talk about it cause its embarrassing that someone young as me has all these pains and aches and discomforts. I walk daily about 5-7 km as part of my daily exercise and I try to stay low carb or on keto as it helps manage the migraines and energy levels. I need to find a doctor who has a really deep understanding of fibromyalgia and help me understand it. Thank you.

Medications can help reduce the pain of fibromyalgia and improve sleep. Common choices include:
Pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) may be helpful. Your doctor might suggest a prescription pain reliever such as tramadol (Ultram). Narcotics are not advised, because they can lead to dependence and may even worsen the pain over time.
Antidepressants. Duloxetine (Cymba...more
