Hi, I'm fairy new to fibro, recently diagnosed after months & months of tests and waiting & waiting for results. So stressful and my anxiety was out of control which I've now learned that it makes the symptoms worse. It was during an acupuncture session for treatment of the anxiety that it actually aggravated the fibro when I experienced really painful arms & hands & the practitioner pinpointed that this may be due to a neurological problem. So off I went for a consultation with a neuro consultant who diagnosed a functional symptoms disorder after MRI scans & Electro Nerve testing showed normal. My hands are still so painful after this six months on. Then I'm referred to a local pain clinic only to find out that they could not treat me as no trained staff to deal with this. My GP was not helpful at all as he could not explain what this disorder actually is, eventually months later I went to a rheumatologist and was diagnosed the dreaded FMS. I am still in shock & learning how to deal with this outcome. I live in North Devon and so far can not find any support whatsoever. Have tried various nerve pain blockers but the side effects are worse than the original symptoms, for a while I felt so full of despair & pain my head & emotions were all over the place. Now I'm not on any meds except for drops etc. for my eyes went really dry & sore after taking Gabepentin. Never again.

I'm going back for acupuncture, I'm also trying supplements of turmeric ~ it's worth researching. I also make a massage potion of lavender, frankincense & helichrysum & rub into my sore bits...... I can't recommend this enough! It's not going to cure it but the effects are wonderful to get some pain relief without poisoning my body with chemicals that cause more harm than good. My old Nutribullet has come out of its hiding place & I'm giving myself a healthy fix every day, also doing some stretching excercise and beginning to have hope that I can beat this thing!

It's worth a try
