I have used a small wrap around home product in the past. I did like the warming comfort but I really didn't use it routinely so I could not tell you how effective it was. I've been told now that I am working on my cns it might be more effective so I'm going to give it another try. I'll get back to you later to give you my results. Are you using a home product or using it in a location outside of home? If so it would probably more beneficial.. I wish you well ☯️❤️‍🩹

Does red light therapy work for fibromyalgia, and what are others' experiences with it?

Red light therapy isn't something covered in the current available information, so a definitive answer on its effectiveness for fibromyalgia can't be provided here. However, there are several complementary and alternative therapies that do have some research backing for fibromyalgia pain relief.

Some options worth exploring and discussing with a doctor include:

- Acupuncture – Studies suggest it can reduce pain scores significantly and improve quality of life
- Tai chi – Research shows it may be even more effective than aerobic exercise for managing fibro symptoms
- Meditation & mindfulness – Can help reduce anxiety and improve emotional responses to pain
- Massage therapy – May help manage pain and tender points
- Biofeedback or chiropractic therapy – Some mixed research suggests possible benefits

It's always best to check with your doctor before trying any new therapy, especially if you're on medication, as some treatments can interfere with existing prescriptions.

Connecting with others on MyFibroTeam who may have tried red light therapy could be a great way to gather real-world experiences from people who truly understand what you're going through!
