OMG......I just read your post. I am a true believer that FM is caused by Trauma and Stress. I was diagnosed with FM about 6 months after I was done with Chemotherapy from Breast Cancer, which came 6 months after I had spent over a year learning to deal with Severe Bi Polar Disorder.
I took most all of the meds your mother takes, and those alone will make you feel bad.....or at least they did me. The effects of the drugs was worse to me than dealing with the effects of BPD. I saw my GP and a Rheumatologist, and no one could give me any concret answers. Just that I have FM and all they could do is treat the symptoms. I started doing my own research and read several medical journals about how Acupuncture and Supplements are the number one treatment for FM, decided that I had nothing to lose by trying it.
I started off doing Acupuncture twice a week, as well as adjustments. I did a DETOX for a week, I started taking better care of myself by taking supplements, making sure I get enough fruits and vegies in my diet, and getting pleanty of rest. I can now say after 7 weeks, my life is so much better.
Good Luck

EDIT:::::: Rispirdal is an awful drug, it affected my hormones and I even lactatited and I wasn't PG, it made me feel like a zombie, it's one drug I will never take again. When I deleted it, my symptoms went away and I felt better.
