Prescribed medicines are an important part of fibromyalgia treatment. Presently there are no FDA approved medicines for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Many studies have been published, however, that show how numerous prescribed medicines can benefit those with fibromyalgia. Physicians are able to prescribe these medicines off-label for fibromyalgia because of these evidence-based studies.
Pain relief, improved sleep, more energy, and better mood are examples of goals that prescription medicines can help you reach. People with fibromyalgia tend to be more sensitive to medications and often experience side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, or lightheadedness. Lower doses of medicines need to be considered for fibromyalgia. Prescribed medicines can provide great benefits to many, so it is worthwhile to work together with the physician to try to find a successful medicine regimen.

Prescribed Medications for Fibromyalgia: By Mark Pellegrino, M.D.
2 comments:
In the course of seeking diagnosis and treatment of my own extremely severe Fibromyalgia, in 2000 I discovered a body-wide disturbance in the natural flow of the Serous / Lymphatic Fluids, (saliva, synovial, interstitial, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.) Systemic Serous Hypoperfusion
It is the cause of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. It is a factor in numerous other illnesses as well.
These clear fluids were just too thick - not outside of their normal paths - so the malfunction had not been detected by MRI's, X-Rays, EMG's, CT Scans, physical exams or blood tests. It occurs between the arterial and lymphatic capillaries. FMS was truly "an invisible illness".
We are reversing all symptoms of Fibromyalgia using a combination treatment method of prescription medication and some essential tricks and tips.
The treatment works within minutes for pain, cognition, vision and mobility and energy - as soon as the fluid begins to move correctly.
The method works quickly to reverse IBS, Costochondritis, splitting teeth, GERD, hair loss, depression, and other problems.
I developed the method, nicknamed FibroFix, was the first patient on it (since Oct 2000) and host the all-free, public domain web site, www.FibroFix.com
It is amateur at best, but tells everything we know. Symptoms, Testing, Diagnosis, Discoveries, Treatment, and Tricks and Tips are detailed.
Nothing for sale. No testimonials. No for-profit links. No donations accepted. It's free and public domain.
There are 40+ significant Discoveries about Fibromyalgia listed on the page with that title.
Restless Leg Syndrome often accompanies FMS. I found that RLS is directly related to insufficient amounts of deep, restorative sleep. Those with FMS have horrible insomnia because we "perceive light and sound as being much more important than they are".
We can't get to deep sleep, or stay there, because the least noise or light wakes us up halfway. We are asleep and don't realize that is what is happening.
Wearing an eye mask and ear plugs to block out all light and all sound – at the head - lets us get to correct sleep quickly and stay there all night. Insomnia stops immediately. As soon as we get enough good sleep, Restless Leg stops immediately. It's an amazingly simple solution to a formerly mysterious and serious health problem.
The FibroFix treatment method is not a cure; it simply restores the natural flow of this critical fluid that feeds, lubricates and rinses all the cells in the body and maintains and repairs cartilage and vertebral discs.
Some people use this method, then after a time no longer have to use it. Once they become active, the body keeps the Serous Fluids moving on its own. Occasionally they may use a decongestant or anti-acid to keep things balanced.
I have differentiated 4 "Versions" of Fibromyalgia: Overly Acidic, Overly Alkali, Thyroid/Temperature, and Physical Damage to Liver. Each of them represents an environment in which Hyaluronidase is not able to correctly control Hyaluronan in the Serous Fluids, allowing the fluid to become too thick.
The hypoperfusion this treatment addresses is increasingly being broached by diverse research groups, including those in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma,TMJ, gastric and respiratory illnesses. PubMed is a good source for this information.
Since 2000, I have been writing to as many reseachers, physicians and others as possible to share what we learn and to request their interest. The research subsequent and exchange of information has been very good.
Surprisingly, during the first two years on this treatment, the cartilage in my right knee, severely degenerated for over 20 years, gradually restored. It is quiet, smooth, normal thickness and pain free. Apparently, the cartilage had just been starved.
The discs in my lower back, bulged since I was 12 years old, are no longer bulged; they were just starved also, which caused them to soften and become misshapen.
Thousands are now pain free without pain pills, strong, flexible, sleeping well, clever and happy with our lives restored. To those who have suffered so badly and so long, it's like a miracle.
My doctor is Dr. Thomas D. Harris, MD, Internal Medicine Specialist, 5900 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32819 407-351-9696. He treats all Fibros based on the model of what happened with me. He is considered to be the best diagnostician in our area and has a very busy IM practice, but is seeing as many as he can, getting 15 to 20 Fibros as new patients each month. They come from as far away as Hawaii and Canada now. Dr. Tom does not charge extra, takes insurance and Medi and gets them in quickly.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to try to help those who suffer.
I am glad to answer any questions.
