A member asked:
I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. what can i take that can treat both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different conditions: Fibromyalgia and RA are very different, so the medications that work for one, may not work for the other. Antidepressants such as duloxetine (cymbalta) or others are frequently helpful for chronic pain. Exercise can also be helpful for chronic pain. See a rheumatologist if you haven't already.
