Fibromyalgia fact #8

Fibromyalgia doesn't have a cure, but it can be treated. Doctors have prescribed pain medication and opioids to ease the symptoms, and medicines like Lyrica and Gabapentin (also an anti-seizure medicine) have been advertised to alleviate the pain as well. But, sometimes, medication doesn't work. To reduce the symptoms, patients can alter their lifestyle, like eating more healthy or exercising a little bit more. Changing your lifestyle can have a significant impact on your symptoms.
