Homeopathy: If there has been this much sensitivity to pharmaceutical medications, i would suggest an assessment to see whether classical homeopathy might be of use. Some controlled studies show benefit, including http://tinyurl.Com/mh5byko the homeopath must be experienced to take the case ;select appropriate homeopathic medicines.

Possibly therapy: Fibromyalgia is one of those diagnoses that has a potential psychological component to it, in addition to a medical component. As such, in some cases, therapy to address the psychological component can help to reduce that aspect of the disease. For example, if the person has depression, or severe anxiety, etc, reducing that may reduce pain.
