No link yet: Someday there may be a link proven between certain infections as fibromyalgia triggers. Best rx is muti-disciplinary: certain types of exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and certain medications may relieve some symptoms of fibromyalgia such as cymbalta, savella, (milnacipran) and lyrica.
