    The FDA is about to ok a clinical trial to cure FM . If you live in the US insurance will cover it . Google EpicGenetics for details.

      Google is available in the UK and the cure  will surely become available there as well . Learn what you can and then educate your doctor .

    Hello, Paula, I am 72 years old and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for about 3 years, although I have had it longer than that. For about 3 months I have been experiencing bad enough pain that my doctor prescribed hydrocodone 5 mg two times a day. It does take the edge off and allows me to sleep without being awakened by pain as often. He also prescribed Cymbalta. I haven’t started that yet, but have heard from others that it helped them. Best of wishes to you, Linda❤️
