Thank you for your question!

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.
