RE: How I helped my wife's Fibromyalgia
Something that should be taken into consideration.
Fibromyalgia can be caused by a mycoplasmal infection in the neuroendocrine system.
Good article

If I keep my diet clean and well balanced I have no pain or fatigue. When I was a child my Mom checked me for autism, the doctors said absolutely not! Haven't been in any wars and I had a huge workup checking for these diseases when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.....mine is related to wheat, sugar, and stress from years of psychological abuse, I had horrible reactions to vaccines.
Diet, exercise, and meditation are my keys to freedom.
I earnestly agree with you @ reddust, i strongly recommend a good diet and exercise once in a while,
I have cousin who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the situation really weighed my family down because we could evidently see the pains he was going through
It was not until we met a specialist doctor who had just returned from Seattle, US, he was the one that gave us some do's and don'ts
And in a few week, we began noticing positive changes
I was very close to him so i noticed how bad the illness got to him, especially the mood swings and anxiety
He is doing pretty good now, the experience really made me set up a good diet plan for myself and my kids and i also had to sign up at a gym nearby
How are you now, hope you're doing good amd have overcomed
