Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
At the outset I would like to inform you that there is no cure for
Fibromyalgia but there are treatments which eases your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
A few antidepressent medications that are useful are Amitriptylene, Duloxetine and
Fluoxetine etc.
Muscle relaxants are useful in providing pain relief as well as induce sleep owing to their sedative properties.
Other treatment options which can be used to help cope with the pain of fibromyalgia include:
* swimming, sitting or exercising in a heated pool or warm water
* an individually tailored exercise programme
* cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) - a talking therapy that changes the way you think about things so you can deal with problems more positively
*
psychotherapy - a talking therapy that helps you understand and deal with your thoughts and feelings
*
relaxation techniques *
physiotherapy - techniques such as massage are used to improve physical problems, such as muscle stiffness or weakness
* psychological support
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
