Read on here to learn all you can about fibro.

Ask for help from your GP. A good place to start might be a referral to physio. Quality of helps varies across the country but you might strike lucky.

Find what works for you. Don’t spend a fortune buying this supplement and that vitamin and don’t be tempted by any of the “ miracle cures” you’ll see online.

Look at tens machines, gels, creams and sprays that can help. Don’t spend a fortune, start low.

Eat well. Make sure you are well hydrated.

Learn to pace yourself, keep moving but don’t overdo it. 10 minutes gentle exercise twice a day is better than forcing yourself for 30 minutes vigorous walking and ending up in bed for 2 days. Even if you can only walk around your house, maybe the garden, and do a couple of minutes stretching it’s better than nothing.
