Does anyone know the latest treatment for fibromyalgia. Do any drugs work? Thanks?

1. I was diagnosed about a year ago with Fybromyalgia. (having 11 out of 18 tender pressure points). There are no good drugs for this condition. I also have osteoarthritis and I've tried more than 12 different drugs for inflamation and pain. You just have to keep trying them until you find ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU. Everybody is different.I take Feldene and Tylenol III and Ultram. It seems to work most of the time. Good luck. Get a good rheumatologist and confide in them and ask if they will give you samples of differnt drugs to see which one works the best for you.
2. I have fibromyalgia myself and I take Lyrica and I maintain a strict sleep routine that includes taking the muscle relaxer tizanidine. I exercise by walking or swimming (along with listening to country music-which u can chose what u enjoy to listen to) which allows me to relax and destress. Always watch out for to much stress in ur life it seems to aggravate the condition. Also, stay away from artificial sugar, my dr. said it is bad and it seems with this condition it aggravates it also and that plain old sugar is the best to use (stay away from splenda, sweet'n low, etc.....)
