Suggest Treatment For Night Sweats And Fibromyalgia
Hello, I am having severe night sweats, I have fibro and had a partial hysterectomy 11 years ago. In less than a year I dropped over seventy lbs and have managed to gain 15 of it back The estrogen I was taking did not help and according to the last blood test my estrogen was within the normal range but the doctor gave it to me anyway to see if it would help. It seems to make me worse instead of better as of late. I have also had many drastic life changes in the last 2 years that have greatly increased my stress level. I am no resting and need some advice as to what I can do to help. Thx Mrs. Carroll

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation, SKY [sudarshan kriya yoga] and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
