I’m going on a new Fibromyalgia drug trial in July , I will report back. New research suggests it may be an antibody problem. The new trial is to do with the antibodies so a completely different way of doing things as before. 🤞🤞🤞

I've been on Fremanezumab and Galcanezumab for migraines which sadly didn't work on my migraines and I know there were people hoping it would be good for fibromyalgia too but it didn't help that either so let's hope this one is sufficiently different good luck!!

I had headaches every day , now I don’t get any. I first tried Migra-Eeze I went from headaches every day to only two/three times a week . My neurologist then recommended me for Botox injections. I now have no headaches and I’m still on the Margaret ease too, which is 100% natural. I do hope some of this information helps you because I know it’s horrible having headaches all the time.

Game changer

Yes I've tried feverfew a long time ago but it didn't work sadly and I'm back on Botox now too, still have migraine over 50% time though but it's worse without treatment.

Wonderful!! Well done for taking part ⭐⭐. Here's to finally understanding this life changing condition. I for one am fed up with not being taken seriously, fobbed off with nasty medication and all its side effects and being made to feel that I've some how brought this on myself and that I'm being dramatic 😡

Hi..

That's interesting news. Funnily enough I read an article way back on some research one of the university hospitals was doing on fibro, as they though it might be to do with auto immune problems. Suffice to say, have just read an update on the same research and yes it is to do with our auto immune responses, hence the trial. That makes sense to me as most of my 'ailments' are autoimmune problems. ... spooky that. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that you get on okay with the meds... no doubt we'll be hearing from you in due.

Good luck.x

Make sure you tell us how you get on hun. Do you know what the drug is called? I have tried to find in formation about our condition, but all I keep getting and being told, that there's no cure, you have to find a way of living with it or they don't even know what causes it. 😥 Im glad there's finally something out there now. Xx
