Struggling with Fibromyalgia Pain: Need Suggestions

Hi! So if you have the resources try ketamine infusions! They have absolutely given back my life. Lyrica helped a little but the side effects are just horrible. Ketamine is expensive but I cannot emphasize enough how life changing it has been for me! Message me if you have any questing or feel like chatting ☺️ I have plenty of smaller tips and tricks too!

I find magnesium bath flakes in a hot bath helpful for fibro pain

As with any medical condition, each person reacts to prescription medications in different ways. I'd suggest that you get into a new provider soon. He or she may be able to help with treatment suggestions. I've gotten the most care from my rheumatologist. He recognizes that fibromyalgia can debilitate someone. For me personally, Lyrica and Cymbalta weren't effective. I am currently on a combination of medications which includes lidocaine patches for hot spots. As for over the counter treatments, I depend on Tylenol, Biofreeze, hot baths/showers and plain old fashioned rest

I personally do small stretches throughout the day to maintain blood flow. I bought especially soft cloths for the days that the pain is really bad. 👆 and yes heat is wonderful.

I find heat helps me, so hot baths ir showers, but especially a heating pad (use it on my back a majority of the time since that is one of my main pain areas) Sometimes biofreeze can also be helpful
