    There’s. no way around Fibromyalgia, I’m always in pain , everyday, every minute, I’ve tried some pretty stupid cures most of supplements known to mankind. I suffer in silence pain pills don’t work a lot of the times. I read everything on my disease. This is the point of self-destruction but I’m better than this crude

    Mary… you described it best. Astonishing the amount of pain we are in and relief cant be found. I thought i was an oddball bc everyone i know with fibro, besides myself, has relief from therapy or pain pills or lyrica, cymbalta, etc… have you tried Kratom by chance?

    I’ve started using CBD oils, CBD gummies, and going to the chiropractor. My body is feeling so much better, and now a flare up only last a day or two tops! I’ve gone off Lyrica, Topimax for migraines.
