Doctors are sometimes reluctant to prescribe narcotic analgesics due to the possiblity of addiction. Various herbal remedies are found to have some positive effects by some Fibro patients as are various vitamin and mineral supplement preparations. Exercise Programs are effective for some FMSers while it exacerbates the pain for others. Swimming is helpful for some people. Warm Baths are sometimes comforting especially if sea salt or epsom salts are added to the water.
Heating Pads are helpful - either regular pads or moist heat.
Infra Red Pads are also helpful for some patients. Analgesic rubs or linaments also bring some temporary relief. Massage, Reflexology and Chiropractic treatments are effective for some FMSers but tend to be aggravating to others.
