No cure, exercise: Fibromyalgia cannot be "cured", as stress or illness will cause it to recur. Recurrence can be prevented by managing and preventing stress and exercising. Check with your doctor to make sure exercise is safe. Daily stretching with alternating days of resistance and aerobic exercise will prevent recurrence.
