I have been doing a lot of reading about new breakthroughs in fibro treatment. Some of them include using a medication that is for alcoholics and opiate users to help block the effects of the drug in their brain so they can stop using them. It's called LDN or naltrexone. People have had great...
Hi. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (July 18th).
I'm mostly just processing at the moment. I'm 21 years old, so it's a long road ahead. I'm trying to remain optimistic about treatment. But it's hard when I can barely make it through my work day. I put so much of my identity into...
For those of you undergoing treatment (pain management) for your fibro, I have a question. Have you found the pain to be progressive in your body and life?
My pain has been dramatically progressive over the last two years, but I was not receiving treatment until this summer. Now that I have...
Hello everyone I'm new. I was diagnosed with fibro a few years ago but have been sick for over 10 yrs I'm 37. How bad do your pain get? The second I wake up I start crying and screaming. The meds help a little but I'm terrified that the pain is getting worse and the pain meds won't cover it. It...
Though I've been having increasing pain (and other symptoms) over the last couple of years, I was only diagnosed with fibromyalgia last week. My rheumatologist also thinks I have Sjorgren's syndrome or some other autoimmune condition (maybe lupus). I just had blood work done today.

I was abused as a child and later I was abused in my marriage. I was diagnosed with fibro a year...

So a few weeks ago I ran across a paper about an experiment in Brazil. I really want to geek out on the details, but I'll refrain. The bottom line is that they found a synergistic effect between resveritrol and rice bran oil to relieve fibromyalgia symptoms in mice. The synergistic effect was...
