Medication Mindfulness Physiotherapy

Multiple types of pain medications, acupuncture/acupressure, trigger point injections, a healthy diet (usually anti-inflammatory is best), physical therapy, warm water therapy/water exercise because it cushions the joints and muscles to help prevent damage/pain while you try to exercise, careful yoga/stretching, aromatherapy, slower movements, don't overdo activities on good days, SLEEP! Most fibro peeps have crazy insomnia so it's important to get rest even if you have to medicate yourself to force sleep.

Keep on whatever meds you are given ON SCHEDULE! That seems to be key to keeping your body in check as well as a regular sleep schedule.

This would differ from person to person but for me personally, it's a low dose antidepressant (in my case venlafaxine). Amitriptyline which helps me manage my migraines. Various painkillers, i have cocodamol and use a aspirin or ibruorphen. Due to sensitivities each person needs to be assessed individually. What works for one person might not work for the next

The best treatments again depend on the individual. Sometimes physical therapy can help. Aquatic therapy is another option that is good if you have trouble with exercising at the gym due to weight bearing. The aquatic pools are specially set to have warmer water usually between 86-90+ degree temp and the water is geared to remove the stress of bearing weight on your body. Another is medication. They can put you on meds that help to treat your symptoms and pain. Some like to use tens units to help their pain. Treatment is based on what you tolerate the best.

Cymbalta, Lyrica, and Gabapentin have mixed success depending on the person. Most don’t take all they take one or sometimes a combination of 2 of the 3. Antidepressants help because this disease is depressing. Physical Therapy helps some, moreso if started early. Aqua (pool) therapy helps.

you can not give a treatment as such because it varies from person to person, it is best to go with the medical specialist and together to find the treatment that we minimize the discomfort. Moreover, the balanced diet helps the state of mind, as well as keep us away from stress.

Translated from portuguese Improve translation

The treatment is multidisciplinary, that is, require the intervention of various professionals. This divides the treatment into drug and non-drug therapy. Drug treatments include tricyclic antidepressants, muscle relaxants, in inducing sleep, among others. Non-drug treatments: Physical Activity, physical Therapy, Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral (indicated by SBR and the American College of Rheumatology), Education of the Patient. The treatment must involve the professionals that each case requires. There is not a precise formula. Each case is different, but what changes is how they should work each professional involved.

A lot of people seem to respond well to antidepressants because they decrease the activity of the central nervous system so that it is excited with fibromyalgia. Painkillers such as cesamet and muscle relaxants appear to have an effect. Personally it is drugs cause me more side effects than beneficial. What helps me the most is to listen and stay in a calm state as possible : eliminate or manage stress, massage bed, hydro-massage, deep breathing, meditation, hypnosis.
