How is Fibromyalgia Treated?
There is no agreed upon standard,
proven "treatment" for fibromyalgia. Rather, there is a collection
of various approaches that address different symptoms, each approach having
varying levels of success with each fibromyalgia patient.
Drug-based treatments include pain
medications, antidepressants, muscle relaxants and tranquilizers, among
others, including cutting edge treatments such as botulinum toxin type
A -- known as Botox.
Alternative, non-drug approaches
include exercise, cranial electrotherapy stimulation,
acupuncture, dietary changes, and
vitamin and herbal supplements, among others
A complete look at the full range of conventional, alternative, mind-body,
nutritional, vitamin and herbal treatments are presented in Living
Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, along with guidelines
on how best to develop an integrated plan for your own recovery and wellness.

Vitamins, and Herbs for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
