Multiple Types of RX: Fibromyalgia is fairly complex: find a pain specialist interested in treating fibromyalgia. Your plan should incorporate a variety of treatment options including physical activity, nsaid's, physical therapy, relaxation techniques, possible changes in diet/sleep habits/ergonomics & lifestyle. Avoid opiates if possible as they do not improve outcomes in the long term.

Multifactorial cause: Fibromyalgia is a multifactorial consequence of hormonal, immune system and nervous system dysfunction resulting from genetic predispositions and dietary and environmental insults. These factors impact your immune system and can lead to pain and inflammation. You need to work with an experienced doctor to fix all of these metabolic problems.
