Hi Rose:

I have had a similar experience with improvement on the protocol I'm on. You should list what has worked for you so that others can benefit. Typically, FMS is a progressive syndrome.

Blessings,

hi rose,
i remember when it started and i feel alot better now than i did then. for myself, with finding my balance, i am better than i was. i remember the ways it used to manifest. i prefer now. so for me, yes i have gotten healthier, wiser, and after taking my chill pill i am content with the balance.
peace,

I was just diagnosed last year but probably have had the condition a long time. It wasn't until I was in extreme pain that I found out I had FM, before that I had GERD, IBS, Hiatal Hiernia, Hypothyroidism and lots of symptoms. However once it was diagnosed and received the right meds, supplements, exercise, sleep and massage, I have gotten tremendously better. I think diagnosis is key and everyone is different, so different protocols are in order for each person. I pray that each person with FM finds what works. Begin by reducing stress and working on sleep habits.

I have felt mine get progressively better and I think one main reason is because I'm acknowledging my pain now and not feeling trapped by it like I once was. I know it's there and every morning I have to start fresh again. I wake up achy and stiff and know I have to stretch. I now know that relaxing and lessening my anxiety helps. I know that lying in my hot tub for fifteen minutes every night helps. I also think Lyrica worked after a while. The winter is rough for me (it gets so cold in New York..) so I know to expect some pain. I guess what I'm getting at here is that a lot of it is mental.

Feel better.
