Yea, I'm on some meds for it, but it only seems to help my neuropathy.

I'm on lyrica which only helps with pin prick nerve pain. I also see a physiatrist and a physical therapist. If I can ever afford a chiropractor again or a massage therapist, I'm hitting that up. If medical marijuana is legal in your area, I've found that it really helps with the FM pain. You don't even need to take enough to get a buzz and you're low-pain for about 3 days.
