Hey! Do you know anyone with Fibromyalgia? It's a medical condition characterised by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to pressure.

I have fibro, which causes widespread pain, but I don't have the pain response to pressure.

Do you have any other symptoms like tiredness to a degree that normal activities are affected? Sleep problems, and troubles with memory?

I have all of those symptoms and so many more.  Are you familiar with treatment options that have proven successful?

Not really, because the cause of fibromyalgia is unknown

That has been my experience, as well.  However, I have developed many coping techniques that help me to live a fulfilling life.

That technique is a strategy which aids at reducing stress, right?

Reducing stress is a very effective technique, as well as getting proper rest and healthful eating.  The basics become even more important with Fibromyalgia.

How about acupuncture? A form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body.
