I moved to a warmer climate, although it is humid, which does help, the cold made me miserable.

I find that deep tissue massage therapy performed regularly really keeps down the pain. When I’m going through a really bad time I always get a massage. It works better than any medicine.

Nutrition is very important with this condition as with any serious physical condition. Avoid caffeine products, sugar, processed foods and fried foods. Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) is often a factor in causing the person with Fibromyalgia to feel fatigued. That is why a good nutrition program is very important, eating frequent small meals with some protein is very important in keeping the blood levels even.

Whole grains, seeds, nuts, yogurt, chicken, Turkey, organic beef, eggs, natural cheese and cottage cheese should form the base of your diet. Accompanied by Appropriate vegetables and a minimum amount of fruit.

A good quality multi-vitamin is absolutely essential with this condition. It's important to replace what the body loses daily. If a person takes no other supplement but a multi-vitamin they're helping to support their body daily. Co Q 10, in soft gel form 100mg, taken three times daily can help increase the energy.

I have written an article on Fibromyalgia and treatments you can do at home. I'm enclosing the link for you.

If you have any further questions please let me know,

Yoga yoga yoga.
Also, check your stress. Stress can build up, and fibromyalgia is kind of a "new" thing that dr's like to diagnose since it really has no "cause". My mom had it, and it went away after her divorce! LOL
