I’ve suffered for 3 yrs with fibro… It has been difficult regulating the correct meds. I attend a pain clinic for marcaine injections..I do get some relief from this. Flexeril at night 10mg. Gabapentin morning and night. I have major depression from this and severe sleep disturbances…I find this very challenging. As much as your family and friends try to help…they do not understand the complexity of pain you suffer day and night. Physical and emotional.

My aunt suffers from fibromyalgia and thank you for this information. She normally have a lot of muscle pain and numbness in her hands. I will inform her about the therapeutic massage to see if it will work. Thanks again for the article.
