fibromyalgia

[harveygarvey]

Hi I suffer from fibromyalgia. I have researched this painful disease by book and the net and even my doctor does not recognise it but still I plunder on hoping to find not even a cure but relief from pain especially when I have a flare-up.
I suffer doubly in the rib case which means I can no longer wear a bra. Even the soft sloggi jobs are so painful to wear. Anybody help with anything.
Thanks

Hello Harveygarvey, my brother has fibro too.
Whilst doing some research for my dads gout my mum found this :

Brothers been taken it for about 4 weeks now and he says that it has helped slightly.
Hopefully after 6 weeks (the usual time that stuff takes to take full effect) he will feel even more benefit.
Not sure about the bra situation I am afraid.
Good luck and we know how hard it is with GP's etc
