my mom has fibromygia?

Question

what is the best pain medication

Answer 1

Your mother needs to see a doctor of rheumatology. Each individual gets different medication. With Fibromyalgia what works on one person may not work on the next. Right now the current treatment that is most popular is the medical drug Lyrica. It's going to be trial and error for your mother. antidepressant medications are usually given because it helps the Serotonin in the body increase. Lack of Serotonin causes many of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. I'm enclosing information that I find helps me deal with my Fibromyalgia.

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.

There's no definite cure for Fibromyalagia but there are certainly many alternative methods that can help you improve the quality of your life. 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.

Physical therapy that is performed at home is very important for Fibromyalgia. Warm water stretches performed at least three times weekly can be of tremendous help keeping the joints and muscles flexible. A Jacuzzi or hot tub is without a doubt one of the best treatments you can do at home, not only does it improve circulation you can also perform warm water stretches in it. If you have access to one and can use this daily you would see a tremendous change in the body. Using a moist heating pad on areas of pain for 20 minutes can ease the pain.

I also find that chiropractic care can bring tremendous relief. I always recommend people with Fibromyalgia seek out a Chiropractor who uses the activator method for physical therapy and pain relief. If you would like to find out about a doctor of chiropractic in your area who uses this method go to http://www.activator.com/qualified_doctors.asp

I have fibromyalgia also. But there is no certain medicine that works the same for everybody. I take 5 different prescription meds and way more ibuprofen that is recommended. God help her. I know the pain.

Answer 3

If you're referring to fibroymyalgia, then there's a pretty good book called, "Fibromyalgia for Dummies" that gives useful guidance in its treatment and tips on what medicines are available. It's in the arthritis section at Barnes and Noble.

Answer 4

I have a couple friends with fibermyalgia. They take antidepressents. There's something in the med that seems to control the debilitating pain somewhat.
