A member asked:

Possible for fibromyalgia to go into some type of remission? i have fewer days and more time between flare ups, as if it's tapering off

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is poorly understood and probably has multiple causes. I am hopeful your symptoms will continue to improve, but don't get discouraged if they worsen as the disease can wax and wane. Try to focus on eating healthy (probably organic/non-GMO) and getting as much exercise as you can without causing a flare.

A member asked:

When using Lorazepam, how often is often enough that you need a taper? I take 0.5mg as needed for various reasons. Is taking this low of a dose 3 days in a row too much? How about using it occasionally/sporadically for a total of 5 times in a month?
