Members responded to a question about IMC-1, an antiviral drug being studied for fibromyalgia, with curiosity but limited personal experience from clinical trials. Several members shared that their doctors believe fibromyalgia may have a viral origin, while one member mentioned frequent Epstein-Barr virus reactivation and a personal theory that fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue may be symptoms of deeper underlying illnesses. A recurring theme was openness to exploring any treatment offering hope for relief, with one member recommending acupuncture as a tool for managing nerve pain and mobility issues.

@A MyFibroTeam Member The needles simulate the nerves, most of the time the nerves are twisted or in a knot, so I'm not able to walk or in pain. It give me pain relief. Each week it different parts of my body.
