Acupuncture was a miracle for me. I truly feel I am in remission. Haven't been in fibro pain since September of last year. I am also off of all drugs and feel so much better.
Don't go to see just anyone. Do your research and find someone that has treated fibro for many years successfully and understands it. Not all acupuncturists are created equal.
If it wasn't for acupuncture I would still be bed ridden and in horrible pain. I am just doing maintenance appointments now. Only going about twice a month because that's all I need to keep my fibro at bay.
I am back to being as active as I was before I got fibro.
Good luck and I hope you get some relief! Don't ever give up on finding the answer that works for you.

Try 400 mg of magnesium a day. I take more but that is a good start. Well- if you get diarrhea cut back to 200 mg. Magnesium also keeps me regular- fibro causes IBS. Anyways- I am going to try adding vit D daily. Maybe only 200 iu to start. It's not good to take too much vit D but heard it is good for fibro. I hope you feel better. I tried acupuncture and my muscles couldn't take it.

Temporary solution - Epsom salt baths with peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil and tangerine oil - really helps the pain.

I heard that acupuncture works well for Fibro. My Massage lady was telling me. Will try myself too.
