Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia
I have a sister who says she has fibromyalgia. I don t know the med. she is on but I am aware that she shows funny behavior that I don t feel is normal. She talks incessantly and can.t seem to realize that another person is also part of the conversation. She also has episodes of falling down and can t function and ends up in the E.R. regularly! What is going on?

2. The attending Physician may recommend physical therapy, moist heat, regular aerobic exercise, relaxation, and stress reduction to help self-manage symptoms.
