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'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.
