Re: Fibromyalgia - New diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the group! This is a very good one and provides a wealth of

information. Everyone is nice and helpful. Feel free to ask questions

and to vent if needed.

I have had fibromyalgia for several years. The best things I do for

mine is try and walk daily, take yoga and rest often. Hot baths help.

Menthol pain patches are good on specific painful areas. Little

Salonpas patches contain menthol, are small but fit well on my shoulder

and stick good. When I first found out I had fibro I was 35 and now am

50. Can't help your with the kids since I couldn't have them.

warm hugs,

Debbie L
