This is my 1st attempt to find a support group and forum and I'm hoping to get advice and someday give advice. I posted a thread to general discussions about fibro "lost and confused" which details my journey since I've been diagnosed in 2012. I haven't had much luck in the way of finding the right medications to treat my symptoms and now I fear I'm having side effects from my second attempt to find relief. So it looks like Cymbalta and Nortiptyline are going to be on the list of medications that I have had side effects to. I'm interested in natural treatments and living healthier. Possibly starting a symptom and food diary. What works for me so far: flexeril and volteran gel for stiffness and joint pain; tai chi, massage, hot showers, therapy cane, stretching, heated rice pack then clay cold pack for pain and relaxation. Exercise is my worst enemy/best friend. I have a hard time motivating myself to work-out when in pain. Also would love to find something to naturally or side effect free treatment for fibro fog. Any advice will be most appreciated I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thanks
