The best treatment for fibromyalgia is magnesium. Take abt 450 mg of magnesium daily together with Vitamin B complex and lots of water. Avoid coffee, tea, sodas, chocolates and alcoholic beverages. These will make ur condition worse.

Using Lyrica is one of the latest treatments for Fibromyalgia. The reason is this helps stop nerve pain. It has helped many people. I have tried it because I have Fibromyalgia, but I did not like feeling druged. Every body is different. What works for one person may not work for the Next. Try it and see if it helps you.
I have written an article on Fibromyalgia and treatments you can do at home. I've enclosed a link for you to read.
If you have any further questions please let me know,

I saw a Pain management dr and he put me on Lyrica. In 6 days I could lie down without my back feeling like it would break. It helped where the Neurontin didn't. I'm glad my dr told me about it.

I believe this drug is used manly as an anti-epileptic drug but it has been used to treat diabetic neuropathy.It is designed to relieve nerve pain.I dont know of it uses in fibromyalgia so I would consult with your Dr. to see if they are indeed using this drug for that disease.

Useful for neuropathic pain. It soothes nerves that are irritated. There is a very slight risk of abuse or dependence, so you have to wean off if you decide to stop it. It can make you sleepy. If you have ever taken neurontin or gabapentin, this medicine is the next generation of those. It is very effective in people with any type of nerve pain.

Never heard of that drug. for me, a an anti inflammatory called Feldene has helped my fibro. Also, massage when i can afford it does wonders. I like my relaxation tapes and soft music at night to help me relax enough to sleep. swimming makes me feel good too, i like being in the water.

I would pay attention to dana and find out if sleep therapy will help...They claim we dont sleep at night to the full sleep and wake up very tired...
I was recently diagnosed and am trying the sleep therapy because I want my right sleep it is mine and I really really want it!
