Considering Alternative Medicines and Treatments?

Besides taking medicine prescribed by your doctor, there are many things you can do to minimize the impact of fibromyalgia on your life. Millions of people rely on alternative remedies and treatments to help them with their chronic ailments; many people with fibromyalgia also report varying degrees of success by: 

• Fighting fibromyalgia naturally with herbs and supplements:

  • Magnesium supplement: Enough of an intake of magnesium supplements can help to prevent serious muscle pain and migraine headaches along with other medical problems.

  • Valerin: Valerin is an herbal remedy that is used to alleviate insomnia and stress, two signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia.

• Accupuncture

• T’ai Chi

• Aromatherapy

• Lifestyle changes: Depressurizing yourself by learning to control the amount of stress in your life increases the vulnerability to fibromyalgia-related pain.

• Getting enough sleep: The majority of people with fibromyalgia (at least 75 percent) have sleep difficulties.  Getting enough sleep and the right kind of sleep can help ease the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia.

• Exercise: Exercise really can help you feel better by decreasing your fibromyalgia pain.  Though pain and fatigue may make exercise and daily activities difficult, it's crucial to be as physically active as possible. Research has repeatedly shown that regular exercise is one of the most effective treatments for fibromyalgia. People who have too much pain or fatigue to do vigorous exercise should begin with walking or other gentle exercise and build their endurance and intensity slowly.
