Hi there. I TRULY HEAR YOU. I was diagnosed with FM at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. now this was 18 years ago but the head of the Rheumatologist Dept at the time said that I was the "worst case of fibromyalgia" that he had ever seen. I can't begin to list all of the treatments, medications, home remedies and "other" that I have used over the years. You didn't indicate in your post which meds you are on (and you may not want to... Totally fine) but I currently take muscle relaxers (my spasms are to the 10th degree) buspirone, wellbutrin, trazodone, furosimide, and pain killers. I know I am missing some... As you can see, these meds are all to help a collection of FM symptoms. There really isn't one pill that works for fibro😥🙄 (I tried Savella and it was a joke). Besides the tips that I am sure you already know (heat, massages, things like Biofreeze) I do have a great tip for you if you have muscle spasms badly like me. They are similar to "Salon Pas" but work WAYYYY Better 😊 The brand is called Luminas and are only available online. The website is: luminas.com. Sometimes I can't sleep at night unless I am wearing these in the places that are "crunched up.". I suggest getting the large patches as opposed to the " medium." The medium patches are more like an extra small and I'm a tiny girl. Sorry my reply is incredibly long but I hope it was helpful in some way. God bless💗

hi Danielle

Work part time it’s much easier, rest as much as you can, and don’t feel bad about it, you need to rest as much as possible. Pace everything you do, it does help. I find cutting down on bread and milk helps too, good luck
