Fibromyalgia

[Bightstar1]

Hi I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and wondering what you have done to help with pain and lack of sleep

Hi there - this article may be of use. I am also on this drug called LDN and it has reduced pain significantly allowing me better sleep. I do take a few sleep supplements as well as a sleeping med too though. I found that the better sleep I get, the pain seems less the next day. I know the struggles. Wishing you some comfort. There is also a LDN site on HU as well.

As far as sleep is concerned, I find a high strength dose of Magnesium and CBD right before bed an absolute godsend. Regarding pain, don’t know on that one. I’m still trying to figure that one out myself. Good luck on your Fibro journey.

There is an excellent Fibromyalgia site on health unlocked. They have help lines etc. You may benefit from joining. Pain control can be very individual with fibromyalgia and there is no one treatment that suits all. Personally I would ask your GP to refer you to pain management. I found both the clinic and pain management course beneficial.

My sister takes 50mg amitriptyline at 5pm and sleeps much better. Now and again she takes a naproxen too with a very bad day.

Hi. I take amitriptylene. It helps me sleep but you must take it pre 6pm or you struggle to wake up!

I take Pregabalin for pain and Melatonin to sleep.
