While there is no one single treatment or cure available for fibromyalgia, there are a number of treatments that sufferers can use to manage and provide relief from symptoms of the condition. These treatment options include both medication treatments and alternative, self-care therapies. The goal of fibromyalgia treatment is to improve the patient’s overall health and well being, while minimizing and managing the symptoms, to allow them to lead as normal a life as possible. Fibromyalgia sufferers can use a variety of medications in order to relieve the pain of the condition and help improve their sleep. Medication options include over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and naproxen sodium, antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs. Alternative therapy options have also been found to provide sufferers with relief from symptoms. These therapies can include physical therapy, occupational therapy and counseling to help you learn to deal with stress. Any course of treatment should be undertaken with the supervision of a medical doctor who can monitor your symptoms and gauge the effect the different treatment options are having to find the most effective route. A combination of medication and alternative therapy can also provide relief as they work in different ways.
