Fibromyalgia: This condition is a very complicated chronic pain disorder that requires close followup with your doctor to see what combination of treatments help. Usually the pain is not completely eliminated, but can be helped. Supplements as you mentioned may be helpful, but also there are medications like gabapentin or lyrica that address the actual pain mechanism of fibromyalgia. Your doc can help too.
