See a rheumatologist: Rheumatologists are the experts at treating fibromyalgia. Combinations of drugs like duloxetine and gabapentin can be very effective in treating fibromyalgia. The thing that you can do before your visit is to do regular exercise even if only walking for a few minutes each day and to do regular stretching exercises. Eat healthy foods and avoid caffeine, tobacco and alcohol. Take a multivitamin.
