Suggest Medications & Diet Plans For Fibromyalgia & Arachnoiditis

I have fibromyalgia and arachnoiditis at the L5, L4 levels. I have 2 questions: 1) is there a diet that has been shown to help fibromyalgia? 2) are there any treatments, including alternative, that have been effective for arachnoiditis? I take both Lyrica and Gabapentin for my fibromyalgia and am still in too much pain. However, I d like to get off my meds.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear no specific diet plan for fibromyalgia but studies suggest that low Magnesium may be the aggravate symptoms, fibromyalgia diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, low-fat dairy, and lean protein, such as chicken or fish.

Choose fresh, whole foods high in fiber and low in added sugars, such as: almonds and other nuts and seeds, broccoli, beans, tofu, oatmeal, dark leafy greens, avocado etc, avoid gluten contain foods, avoid artificial sugar. Maintain healthy weight, regular exercise.

Aracnoiditis 1.control the information with NSAIDs, prdnesolone etc.
2.regular exercises to prevent adhesions.
3.pain relief agents like gabapentin, pregabaline, baclofen, duloxetine carciprodol.
4 . some time hormone replacement, use of pentoxyphylline relive symptoms.

If pain is excess epidural anesthesia also helpful. Please consult your neurologist for further assistance.
