Fibro treatment is just symptom alleviation and of course Lyrica (you've all seen the ads right?). I don't tolerate Lyrica, tried it for the CRPS, and I just got off Gabapentin because of weight gain. I'm sure the other anti-epiliptic works the same on the nervous system.
Exercise.
They don't know what/why it is. Could be overactive nervous system. Yada yada.

There are no ads for medication in this country, only OTC ones.

I am on Neurontin and it has improved my nerve pain *enormously*; of course I have pain patches for the rest of the pain. Until I feel a very *dull* muscle ache. That's where I'm at, basically.

Hi Becca,

There is absolutely treatment for fibro beyond lyrica and the like. Stanford University has done studies on LDN for fibro and had good results.

Low Dose Naltrexone for Fibromyalgia | Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab | Stanford Medicine

Some antidepressants such as Savella are also used for fibro pain.

While these new meds may not cure the problem the LDN certainly addresses the neuro-inflammation.

One of the number one recommendations for fibro is getting exercise. Anything gentle, like the pool which your foot could tolerate is great.

Keep up the fight. It is good you have new information and can pursue new ways of addressing your fatigue.

Sending hugs,
