Does anyone know of any treatment for Fibromyalgia?
My wife is really suffering from this condition. We were sent to a orthopedist who recommended a balanced diet and blamed the condition on cigarette smoking. We've tried Over The Counter Pain medicine but they didn't help.

1. www.webmd.com is a good place to check for treatment options.2. if you were sent to an orthopedist who gave you this recomendation--she was not properly diagnosed and may not have it at all...
real fms is a neuro condition--teh recommended treatments are meds like savella and lyrica..
diet and exercise do also help
3. I have Fibromyalgia -Vitamin D3 supplementation has cleared the constant muscle pain (for the most part). I did high levels for 3 weeks & was pain free. I knocked the dose down to 2000iu's a day & a week later the pain was back. After restarting high levels, the pain is managed again after 3 days.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low & the prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol ). Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound - a 150# person needs minimum of 5250iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. March is when stores are at their lowest.
I personally did 35,000iu per day for 2 months trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.
I originally did B12 injections daily for a couple of years & then I tried guaifenesin (Dr.St.Amand's protocol) for 10 years but discovered vit.D3 supplementation only recently & that has worked better than anything else! Vitamin D3 is not a vitamin, it is actually a hormone that controls immune functions.
Low Vitamin D levels greatly increases risk of cancer, diabetes, MS & heart attack.
