Alternative treatments for fibromyalgia?

I can’t take the medicine they have for fibromyalgia because of the bad side effects so I was wondering how you treat your fibromyalgia if not taking a prescription. For mine I use heat, creams, Ibuprofen.. thanks ☺️

I use a TENS unit every night. I know a lot of Fibromyalgia people cannot tolerate e-stim, but it has been a God send for me.

I use heat or ice, rest, creams and, occasionally, tylenol. Took a carload of ibuprofen over the years... am convinced that is why, 25 years in, I deveoped severe IBS. Be very careful with ibuprofen!

Wild yam cream helps with pain. Only apply to the same spot every 3 days to avoid saturation.
