Hi,
Yes, it's right, the pain of fibromyalgia may be difficult to treat. However, there is now good evidence that Duloxetine (Lyrica) may be providing some pain relief to patients with fibromyalgia. This is not sure, however giving it a try is not a bad idea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
