What else can you do for fibro pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Meds, et al: Fibromyalgia prescription drugs include gabapentin, lyrica, cymbalta, savella, (milnacipran) and perhaps some sleeping pills and analgesics. But relaxation exercises, biofeedback, aerobic exercise, and improvement in sleep patterns, ail help substantially. Visit a physiatrist or rheumatologist who has experience in the area.

Assuming that three FDA-approved pain meds tried, see Alternative Medicine doctor: nutrition, myofascial & mindfulness therapies, biofeedback, PT, gentle yoga, tai chi, walks, massage, sun, herbs, Cannabis, weight loss, acupuncture, aqua therapy, psychological counseling & Osteopath's opinion. Study books written by "survivors". Avoid "pity-party" support groups.
