Just diagnosed

[Kmckenzie]

Hi my names kirsty and just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia it's been a very long road of tests and sent on a wild goose cause whilst feeling like I've been hit with a bus it's a lot to take in, I would like to ask does anyone have another natural remedies rather than having to take medication daily ?

Hi Kmckenzie welcome to our wonderful forum ☺ I'm sure you will come to find the forum invaluable in chatting to others who are going through the same experience as you, talking to others at different stages of their lives with Fibro and learning from their experiences.

It does help with the whole process and I wish I had found the site years ago. I have had Fibro for nearly 30 yrs and I'm still learning about it, like we all are.

lots of our members take all kinds of natural remedies and when it's a bit busier tomorrow I'm sure you will get more answers Kirsty, it's usually a bit quieter at the weekend.

I think the main thing with Fibro is to try to eat healthy, take regular gentle exercise and learn to pace yourself, The Spoon Theory is very good to research.

Please do go look at the mother site where you will find all the information you need and lots of useful links on Fibro and I look forward to chatting to you on the forum.

Hello, I'm on some tablets to help with my sleep but no actual pain relief medication, instead I take vitamin tablets everyday, try to exercise lightly about 3-4 times a week (just a 20mins walk at my own pace) and have recently started having a massage and acupuncture. Although it can be a bit expensive I'd rather do this than be on medication forever. The massage seems to help with short term pain relief more so than anything else!

Hope this helps

I actually was prescribed Cymbalta 5 yrs ago, after two weeks of it I decided I did not want meds... now yrs later as symptoms are getting worse and increasing, beginning to think I need something for my memory. Pain wise, yoga worked for me for a long time. Thinking why fibro is soo bad , is because I am getting remarried very soon and the planning stages and financing it, has been very stressful. lol....

Hi I was only diagnosed last September, went to every specialist known over 7years usually by the time you get to see them the problem you have has went away and started somewhere else in your body. Ive gave a few different drugs a go but find I'm quite sensitive to them so have had some quite horrible side effects so I don't take anything except for erythromicin because periodically my skin is affected, blisters on my face, mouth ulcers and blisters on my scalp, just small tiny ones but they sting like mad. Last week I managed to find a local support group not far from where I live it was actually great to be able to talk to people who know where your coming from. I was bombarded with things to try a couple of people said about magnesium oil spray it helps relieve the muscle cramps and you get a better sleep so Ive got some coming today so I will tell you how I get on with it. I also take a daily dose of vit D which Ive read a lot of people with fibro because they tend to have low levels but it was my gp that told me that one a few years ago as mines was low. Hot baths as much heat as you can take I also find helps. Take care I will let you know how I get on with magnesuim oil.🌞
