Suggest Treatment For TMJ, Temporal Arthritis And Fibromyalgia Rheumatica

I am a healthy 84 year old woman with a couple of nagging problems. I was diagnosed with TMJ, after 40 yrs. of pain, Temporal Arteritis, and Fibromalgia Rheumatica, I moved from IN to FLA five years ago, and am not satisified with my current health medical team. They seem to dismiss my problems by suggesting I use drugs to deal with them. I am very much into holistic health. I am willing to join research projects. What advise do you have for me?
