How To Treat Fibromyalgia Which Is Causing Severe Pain?
I have fibromyalgia it is very painful and it is getting worst, just moved to Blacksburg V.A. what is the best treatment I can get for the pain?? I am only 48 years old and it is taking over my life. tried of being sick and in pain every single day. please help.
I understand your concern. Symptoms of fibromyalgia (fm) are diffuse pain all over the body with some tender points, joint pains, weakness, sleep disturbances and mood disturbances. They frequently interfere with our daily activities.
First thing you have to know is fm is benign condition, but take long time to cure.
Aerobic exercises, though give you pain and fatigue for short time, it will help you a lot to improve your condition. So, keep doing aerobic exercises. Maintaining regular time for sleeping also helps your condition.
You can try amitriptyline tablets. Consult your physician to know the dosage according to your weight and symptoms severity.
Wish you fast recovery! Thank you.
