On the natural aspect here, I've tried massage & chiropractic. I want to try acupuncture if I can get somebody in the area that is knowledgeable. I also have done physical therapy.
All of the above, if they are experienced with Fibromyalgia patients, can offer different levels of comfort. When trying new places/doctors/etc, it is always good to ask questions of the person who you will be working with. Ask for consultation with that person and ask lots of questions. If they hesitate to do this or whatever, then I'd move on to the next person. It is okay to ask questions and refuse any medical advice, it is your body. I read a book called "The 10 Best Questions for Living with Fibromyalgia". You can find it on amazon or check out your local library. It is a very good book and empowers you to take charge of your health.
Doctors are pushing more drugs these days. I've refused medications several times and even changed my neurologist because he was too focused on 1 problem not me as a person. I fired him and found one that listens and who responds to me as a person who understands my body & how it reacts!
Also, I have upped my supplements. I take vitamin D and B complex. Those seem to help with some pain & energy. Finding a support group also helps. I'm vice president of my local group & we find even if all of us are feeling bad, it's nice when we get together. Good luck in your adventures to finding what works best for you.
