Now I was also diagnosed with Polimialgia Reumatica, my Dr. says the the only medicine that works . What do you say about this?
Hi, thank you for providing a brief history of you. As you should know that fibromyalgia is a condition of the pain in the muscle fibers. There is a limitation for the medicine to work behind this. Apart from this the other issues start up in a later stage as you got polymyalgia rheumatic. I can understand from this history as you have pain in many muscles and the pain keeps moving. Well, I can recommend you to look for an alternative medicine as an optional. Like doing meditation, breathing exercises, yoga and fitness training at a later stage. You can meet up a physical therapist and look forward for a proper guided exercise prescription which will surely help. I have myself seen many cases with the same and followed with a physical therapy later on. As taking too much medicine on high dosages will damage the kidneys and anything in excess is never good. Kindly see if you can meet up a physical therapist. You may find end number on forum on internet about fibromyalgia where many have got helped by meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and fitness training. I have actually summed all what I could to help you. Hope to see you cheerful soon.
