Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Diet and exercise: There is no clinical research on FM and food. I think patients say that following a balanced diet rich in organic fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help ease pains, improve sleep and quality of life. The massage, yoga, balanced exercise program is also important.
