Members shared a wide range of strategies they've found helpful for managing fibromyalgia pain, with red light therapy emerging as a popular option that several people credited with reducing flare duration and easing chronic back pain. Many members described relief through regular myofascial massage, pain injections at local clinics, topical treatments, hot baths, light stretching, daily naps, CBD, and medications like escitalopram for both mood and pain management. A recurring theme was that fibromyalgia treatment is highly individual, what works for one person may not work for another, and pacing yourself while managing environmental triggers like weather changes is essential.

Myofascial massage therapy once a week helps immensely.

Escitalopram, daily naps, CBD at night, and living a slower pace of life have helped me.

Red Light Therapy really helps. I had a flare in my arm and, instead of lasting 2 weeks, with the Light, it was only 3 days. I also bought a massage seat and use the shiatsu setting. It really works too.

I found that pain injections at my local pain clinic helped me short term. Rest helps some days for my back and legs.

Janet I've started Red Light Therapy it takes awhile but it's helping with the pain in my back. That's my worst nightmare
