What are some ways I can treat my Fibromyalgia? It gets so intense sometimes that I feel like I am being stabbed everywhere on my body. I'll take ibuprofen, smoke cannabis for muscle relief, take epsom salt baths, and I'll use a roller on my back and body with massages to relieve some tension. Although, it's gotten progressively worse at times and I'm not sure exactly how to treat it.

How to make everything from scratch to avoid alot of things ..was a long process but it can be done ..ones health is worth it .. I started with juicing .. that changed my body alot

I have sat on a shower stool under a hot shower with my back to the spray (or facing or alternating). It depends on how you tolerate showers though. I know some are drained by them. For me, they helped soothe me. But now that I’m having heart issues I can’t tolerate having them as hot as I used to.
@Indigodragonfly75 how do you not eat processed foods. I've thought about this alot and considered this diet for me and my kids but it seems like every single thing is processed these days. Can't get anything from the grocery store that isn't processed. So it makes it hard to know where to start or what to do

My heating pad is my lifeline when my back pain or abdominal pain flares up. I would recommend trying to find a Pain physician or a functional medicine Doctor Who specializes in fibromyalgia

I was able to get off all medications for my fibro by juicing and changing my diet completely. I stopped eating any and all processed food,anything with additives. No fast food. Stopped sugar and went to monk fruit instead..I also stopped white flour and gluten.. whole foods ..fruits and veggies .I eat fish and chicken but not much else meat wise but I'm not saying don't eat meat..up to your body ... Full spectrum cbd oil on the bottom of my feet replaced meds for neuropathy..I don't use that now either ..what I eat seems to cause alot of inflammation. Clean and simple it is ..I've had this since I was 19 and I'm 46..I hope this helps some
