Nothing it will help 100%. But lots of ibuprofen and Duloxetine. Also Gabapentin helps me a lot.

There are only three approved medications specifically for FMS. Savella, Lyrica & Cymbalta. However some Doctors prescribe Gabapentin & other nerve pain medications. Also Ibuprofen can help for breakthrough pain as well but should not be taken daily. I take epsom salt jacuzzi baths often. I also use a heated blanket. I make my own massage oil out of emu oil (carrier oil for pain) along with Copaiba EO & other EO’s (essential oil) specifically aimed for pain as well.

Low dose naltrexone has been a life saver for me. It helps to diminish the pressure points and full body pain I feel daily. It never fully goes away, but it helps tremendously.
