I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue - I was given Endep to treat these and they worked quite well EXCEPT they brought out my Bipolar so I cant take it - My Dr said that Endep is the only known treatment for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue other than exercise, meditation or yoga were his suggestions - exercise is a day to day thing - sometimes I have no problems other days I have pain with very little exercise - has anyone had success with other treatments? I have tried accupuncture but it didnt do much - it made it worse to start with as I was warned it would and then it did make it better but Im not financially able to keep it up all the time.

I also have high blood pressure and thyroid trouble. my sysmptoms are leg pain and daytime sleepiness. I had a sleep study done and was told that I have the Fibromyalgia. I am on meds for depression , highblood pressure and thyroid. I already take the zanaflex and ultracet and voltarin. Along with klopin wellbutrin synthroid and topral xl and a baby asprin. What else can be done? What type of dr should I go to to have this treated? Any help would be great.

My doctor says he beleives that I have fibromyalgia. My mom has suffered from this for 20 years also so I guess it is hereditary. I am wondering what other people do for the pain and what they have tried out and what works best to help.

I am 57 years old, and have tried all the remedies for comfort. such as anti depressants, pain pills, sleep meds, none of which has worked. Please can anyone help me, I'm desperate,

I am a twenty-one year old, female, diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and REM sleep disorder. My Dr. is now questioning the possibility of Myofascial Pain Syndrome... In the past I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture and multiple prescribed medications both for the pain and the sleep problems... none have been quite sufficient or cost effective, in the long run... any suggestions?

I suffer from migraines as well as depression and have been on so many different drugs over the last 3 yrs I could start my own pharmacy. Nacotics trigger migraines. The anit-depressants make me more tired. I am not sleeping well and feeling like I just cannot see another damn doctor. Anyone have anything that helps??? Is there a specialist out there for this type of thing. I am seeing a primary care, a psychologist and a phychiatrist. Its getting too expensive and not helping me very much. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I have had fibromyalgia and myofascitis for over 7 yrs. and have had every possible treatment...injections and more meds than any one person could handle...I am looking for alternative treatments that don't cost alot of money

I've been suffering with Chronic Myofascial pin in my upper back all the way across & the only thing that really stops the pain is if I lay down (I'm not going into that business). I have NOT been to a therapist that specializes in myofascial pain but I do see a LMT every 2 weeks. I take muscle relaxers & Tramadol along with other pain relievers. Help!

I; have had fibromyalgia for over 10 years, other than just taking pain meds. there has been nothing to relieve the symptoms, have tried many natural remedies as well. Is there anything new on the market, or any new treatments?

I know that a huge one is to stay away from Monosodium glutamate (MSG) also allowed to be called Natural Flavoring, guaifenesin, having low stress, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol.

I also know how important a good diet it and getting enough good rest is.

But sometimes all H*** breaks loose and despite all your hard work you just can't maintain the house of cards you have built to deal with this DD.

So what I am looking for is any other treatments, supplements, techniques or something to fix the damage that the last couple of days of chaos have caused.

As for the chaos, we are having two rooms in our house redone and stuff ended up blocking up my kitchen so that I ended up not cooking at all -- so where do you suppose my food came from! And all the stress of people being in my home and on and on... Now when it is done it will be so very nice but in the meantime... And I am really hurting even after two doses of guaifenesin.

Any idea would be appreciate!

I'd like to know what are some good medications or treatments I can do for fibromyalgia besides going to the doctor. Thanks

I've had fibromyalgia since 1991 and have been treated with P.T., medications (tramadol, elavil,clonopin, & lorab), stretching, massage therapy (when I can afford it), and some biofeedback. My neck and back are so tied in knots it feels like concrete. My current regiman barely gets me by. I have worked steadily since diagnosed, and done some pretty physical type jobs. I do believe staying active is much better than laying around feeling sorry for myself. It helps me take my mind off of the pain if I keep busy. I couldn't afford to live on disability even if I wanted to, lol.
I have tried tens units, and water aerobics/therepy without any relief.

I am curious about yoga being a possible help to me.

Lyrica usage for fibromyalgia . Has anyone used or know anything about this drug
