Fibromyalgia Myth: You Can Take a Pill to Make Fibromyalgia Symptoms Disappear
The Truth – Drug treatments usually do not work well for most patients with fibromyalgia.
One of the sad truths about fibromyalgia is that there are not a lot of medications that can treat the symptoms. Some drugs might only work in 1 out of 3 or 4 patients.
While you may be able to benefit from taking a medication that is approved for fibromyalgia treatment, your symptoms will not totally diminish. They will only disappear temporarily.
It is also recommended to incorporate a few lifestyle changes, such as exercising regularly, reducing stress, practicing good sleeping habits, and perhaps undergo cognitive behavioral therapy.
