    New treatment on the horizon?

    I read a news article today that a possible new treatment for fibromyalgia passed phase 2 trials. The drug is called IMC-1. The trial had promising results on fibromyalgia patients.

    Diagnosed with fm after age 60

    Is there anyone else who was a "senior" when diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If so, what are you doing as far as treatment. I've tried and quit lyrica. I'm afraid to start cymbalta.

    I'm in denial

    I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...
