There really is life after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome...and yours starts here.

Pain. It's a very subjective thing. How we describe it and feel it varies from individual to individual. How we treat it also varies considerably. Whether it's pills, potions and creams or exercise, support aids and rest, you can be sure of one thing - no two fibromyalgia patients feel the same, or get the same results from the myriad of 'cures' out there.
For me, I respond best to gentle (and not so gentle) exercise - weights, swimming, walking - alongside a number of support aids for when things get too much - elbow supports, back braces, TENS treatment - all taken in conjunction with a concoction of prescribed medication. I have been re-referred to an NHS Pain Management Clinic - after requesting it for FOUR YEARS - but my first appointment isn't until June!! I'd love to know what works for you - as well as what doesn't work and what, if anything, made you feel worse or gave you bad side-effects. I'd appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete the survey form below - scroll to the bottom of the page. |
