What do you recommend for fibromyaligia? Is it a virus which may cause an auto-immune response? I have a 24 yr old daughter who suffers daily from fibromyalgia pain, please advice.
Thanks!
Thanks!
It was thought initially that it was directly an auto-immune response/issue, however it's likely that a number of factors contribute to the development of fibromyalgia. Doctors have not been able to pinpoint one direct cause of fibromyalgia. Other theories as to the cause of fibromyalgia include:What do you recommend for fibromyaligia?

It's a very difficult condition to continously manage effectively overall. I've seen a few success stories with lyrica myself, but as with anything in medicine what works for one may not with others. I really feel for you all that are affected with this condition. There are some new treatment methods that are being introduced into practice which may offer some new hope in overall treatment plans.I am so sorry, I really feel for anyone with this condition. My wife has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and we live with it for over 10 years.
I am not sure this is the site that will give you the most feedback on this disease. I would llook at "chronic pain" related websites and those specifically dedicated to fibromyalgia.
Unfortunatgely there is no known definitive cause for fibromyalgia. You will only hear about theories and speculations to its causes and mechanisms.
My wife is always in pain throughout all her body, pain sensative to the touch, etc. Nothing in our long battle has been a "cure". Only limited pain relief from prescription drugs/analgesics and some improved physical condition with some kind of physical execise. Your doctor will usually end up trying certain drugs and sending you to a pain clinic and support groups to learn to manage/cope with this disease.
Doctor (Pain Specialist)prescribed Lyrica recently which we discontinued due to unmanageble side effects... Lyrica may work for some ans is touted a rather new drug with hope for fibromyalgia. Another procedure/treatment was lidocain infusion where your body is fed a solution of lidocain intravenously (IV). This did not work for us either. It has worked for a few as I've researched this for other fibro patients success.
Please look into online fibromyalgia resources and see a pain specialist. Online is the best place to learn fully about it.
Sorry for the diagnosis and good luck to you both. I wish I had better news to share about it myself.
Take Care,
Bob
