How do you deal with it. Disease diagnosed, or just a "catch-all" name given to symptoms?

I think...maybe I misheard, but lately there is an fda approved for the treatment...seems it has finally (for those who suffer) been regognized as real...and there is research finally being done to help...

I don't recall the name...but it is a pill that helps with the constant pain...and if I am not mistaken, helps clear the head kind of thing too....seems the jury is still out on the unclear head, is it caused by constant pain, or in itself something...actually I saw an ad on tv for it last night...if I hear of it agin or come acrossed it will send it along....also check webmd...probably on there...do you suffer

the most i know about this is condition is muscular pain and fatigue--i would say the best therapy is exercise as best one actively can do--just like a sprain --your joints stiff or swell when we were younger and today we are paying dearly for that sprain ankle or torn ligaments as i have in my right ankle years later--it forced an end to my baseball career shortly out of college and of weight gain mainly because i stopped to continue exercising as i did staying in shape playing sports as sports have taken a back seat now--yes, i do exercise to release stress our bodies face too by walking and dancing--and i think to help someone face Fibromyalgia is making sure you get a 2nd opinion and proper expertise about Fibromyalgia...If anyone has this i pray there are solutions available...pain sucks--and we're getting on in age--

First I would suggest to detox your body then have a complete allergy test done to see if there is something agrevating (sic) the condition.
Good luck, I feel for you.

you are 1000% right...pain is awfulllthink it is almost more debilitating that the cause....with fybo, at least they are past the point of, it's in your head...it was there for a lot of years...my ex's wife has it, and she does suffer, poor thing...and she is young...guess it hits anyone...not that i think you can "compare"pain...having ra, or, and a....I feel for anyone who has anything that causes pain...even tummy aches (meant to lighten up a somber answer)

 I have had it for years and activity does not help. Therapeutic massage is the only thing I ever found that helped. Add crippling arthritis and it can be fun trying to keep spirits up.

Thanks for the name of the new med. My niece has it (27 yrs. old) Will tell my brother about the med. She has also just been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Please, all, keep her in your prayers. Name is Meredith.

Don't know just yet. Medicaid decided (in their infinite wisdom) that she made too much money from them so they dropped her. My brother is trying to find some way to get her treatment. She also has a bag in each hip, surgically implanted, for urination purposes.Poor kid is really having it rough.

Prayers are a given and He will hear. This one is a new one for me...and from what I'm hearing...holy cow!!! You can't even get a hug without pain? Sucks big time. Hope for all the best for all of you dealing with it. This sounds like one of the worst things going out there. God bless.
