Hi it is interesting to hear how you felt. I, too, had those same burning, stabbing pains, but on my left lower abdomen, groin area. wrapping around, and through to my lower back, along with the pain I could hardly move. I was finally tested fo reverything, which showed nothing. I am being treated for lyme disease, after being diag. with Fibro for numerous years. I took different antibiotics, like doxy, and biaxin with plaquenil with great results. Lots of my everyday and extreme muscle pains magically vanished, including joint pain and stiff fingers. I also started B-12 shots last week, and that seemed to help already. I do believe that most folks who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia actually have some form of Lyme disease. I recommend you do some research on it. once I came out of my fog during treatment, I started my research, and was madder than ever for being misdiagnosed for so long. I had been bitten and even had the bull's eye rash, but never tested positive on a blood test. Therefore, I was not treated until 16 years later. What a difference. I also use supplements. I take a good multi, co-Q10, magnesium, drink Kefir, and try to get more sleep. Hope this helps. If you want to try herbal remedies, There are plenty of things to try, although, I think you have to find what works best for you. Before using any though, read up on Herx reactions to the antibiotics so you wont be surprised by them...
