Challenging: Fibromyalgia can be one of the most challenging conditions to treat an manage. There is not often one single answer or treatment that will control pain from this. It may take involvement and input from physical therapists, primary care physicians, musculoskeletal physicians, nutritionists, psychiatrists, etc. Keep up with the lifestyle modifications as best as you can.
