How can I cure my fibromyalgia pain?

I am writing this with great sorrow and weaping eayes, more that 18 years suffering with neck and shoulder pain. Everyday it continues. Consulted with many doctors, reported that its because of fibromyalgia. Prescribed me cipralex 10 mg and advised me to take 1 perday. 75% cured but not completely. Its very distrubing disease really. I want to become normal. How can I? Is there any solution for the same?

Please help me.

1. I have fibromyalgia pain and as far as i know, there is no cure. It affects more than your neck and shoulders, are you sure you have fibromyalgia?

2. Any doctor who says Fibromyalgia is incurable doesn't know what he is talking about.

Go to Mercola.com and read up on it.
Dr. John Gonino, a reknowned doctor in Rockwall, Texas is an expert on Fibromyalgia. His first cure was his wife, who suffered greatly from Fibromyalgia. That opened the door for all the other great things he has done to cure people. I am healthy because I follow his suggestions, but my parents, who were very sick, both regained their health by visiting him. I can't even count the number of people I know who he has cured of various "incurable" illnesses. :) Good Luck!

3. I am sorry to tell you there is no cure for fibromyalgia and it is an auto immune disease that may go into remission but you will always have it. I suggest you go to some health and perhaps government web sites and check out any trials or experiments that are beginning for your disease. Every day medicine is making great advancements in auto immune diseases so you need a Rheumatologist (specialist doctor) who keeps up on all the advancements being made. The fact that Cipralex has improved your pain by 75% is wonderful. I have friends who have not found any relief with medications. Please don't give up and you might want to discuss an antidepressant with your doctor to help you cope with a life long, chronic, painful disease.
I understand your pain and I'm sending you gentle hugs.

4. My mom has this but her pain is basically in all her joints. I don't really think there is anything she does but when the weather is bad, its when she gets worse and I see her just lay in bed with a heating pad and tea. The warmth helps her. She also has a heated blanket and she goes for massages.

5. I've had fibro for many years. There is no cure. You just have to eat right, maintain a healthy weight, keep moving, don't keep hidden inside your home, and keep a positive attitude. If you are having trouble dealing with that your life has changed then you should seek therapy.

6. There is no cure, but there are a lot of ways of helping the pain if you are willing to follow through.
Find out why you have fibromyalgia, where you in a car crash or another accident, does it run in your family, did you get really sick and then after recovery start developing symptoms? Take why you have it and work with that. If you were in an accident physical therapy might help. Try strength training and relaxation. If it runs in your family try asking them what works best for their pain. If you got sick and then started developing symptoms it might mean you have a weak immune system. If you have that avoid foods your even a little allergic to, avoid sugar and eat healthy and stay fit.
Eating healthy and staying fit are really your best options.What you eat and what you do affect the levels of pain a lot. Eating healthy is the easier one. Eat more Chicken and Lentils and avoid sugar. Staying fit, at least for me, is hard because it hurts to move let alone exercise, but having strong muscles helps your pain a lot. Just walk a little everyday, even if it's around the block. Strength training for the areas that hurt the most to give support. Try swimming, the water can help you relax and you can exercise at the same time.

Keep a journal what you eat and what exercises you do and how you feel that day and the next. See if you can find a pattern.You can be normal, you'll have to be careful so that your symptoms don't come back, but you'll be able to run around and act like everyone else. Just find what's right for you.
