I have the worse case of Fibromyalgia in the world. 36 years with as much pain as last stage dying cancer patients. Morphine drip won't help. I know what causes it. My Rheumatologist is interviewed by Maria Shriver. I set up the TV show. One half hour on fibro and then half hour of surgery performed on a surgeon that didn't want to live if he couldn't perform surgery. It's extra bone in neck that pushes on brain stem and spinal cord. Brought on by a fall, a blow or stress. Some never get fibro. Trying to get to point I can help others. Been bedridden alot. Prayers for all of you.

This worked for me in 2 (I suffered 7 hellish years.) Magnesium L Threonate (must be that specific magnesium), Benfotiamine (type of B1), Vitamin B6 and Vitamin D3. No Rx needed...all supplements. It helped my sister in law too. Pain levels went from an 8 out of 10 to a level 2 out of 10.

All I know I have been living this most of my life and when I hear the word good morning is something good about it is that I'm still living and I'm not dead yet😢 I'm just morning 🙏🏾🥺😞

This pain is bs... never ending 😩 physical therapy and herbs help but it just won't end.

It's a brain condition and treating the sites of the pain is useless. Get to the root cause and we might start getting somewhere in CURING this nasty, life destroying condition which is ignored by many nhs doctors and if it is diagnosed you're told to put up with it

Can you guys please look into the relationship between hormones and fibro? My symptoms disappeared during my second pregnancy. And always seem to worsen around my periods. Also, why does it affect mostly women? We really need help guys. We would look into it ourselves if we weren’t so sick. I used to be a medical doctor - been forced to find an alternate career.

Still not found medicine for cure 😢😢😢😢 from india banaglore

[youknowcrimedontpay]

It's a neurological condition and not a musculoskeletal condition.

[juliemanarin]

I have had it for 20 years...I need a cure

[WendyHannan-ptez]

Does any one go into remission regarding fibromyalgia pain ? I’m newly diagnosed, and have pain everyday ?

[gcastroism]

You say you know what causes it? Please share . In some people i believe it is caused by gadolinium contrast.

[cloudyman]

So I can always feel my pain If anyone needs to know anything more about this I can help

[Uniquettt]

First thanks for sharing I have Fibro pain and multitude of symptoms daily. My question is could a passed overdose of pills be part of a possible root Cause for me? I have had Fibro for best part of my life since a teenager now 62
