Fibromyalgia and pain relief
I have been a fibromyalgia sufferer for about 3 years now and i have tried many different pain killers to no avail.
The only pain killers that slightly worked were tramadol but it left me feeling ever so sick and so i stopped taking them.
For the most part i have come to terms with the pain, its always there, whether im sitting down or moving around the pain is different.
I cant remember when i was pain free, for the times it gets too bad i usually can not get out of bed or i lay on the sofa crying.
Just recently i have found a product that not only relaxes and destresses me but also gives me a few hours of quite strong pain relief, i can still feel a little pain but the most part goes away.
The product is Epsom salts or Himalayan bath salts, i pour one or two cupfuls in a quite warm bath and then soak in it for half hour to 45 minutes and it eases my pains away.
I take one of these baths at least once a week.

Interesting that something as simple -- and inexpensive -- provides such great relief. Is there any reason you couldn't do this more than once a week?

ive never tried to drink it myself, doesnt appeal to me lol, but i only bathe in it once a week as it is detoxifying and so i use it once a week to detox, not sure if too much is beneficial, also i have a lot of trouble sitting down in the bath because of the pain so i mostly have to shower.

I've been diagnosed with fibro for almost fifteen years now. I feel your pain, literally. I'm glad you found something that offers relief.

One of my friends has Fibromyalgia and she sent me a great article, I will try to dig it out for you it should still be in my emails. I know she takes a combination of Gabapentin and Amitriptyline.

I share the same thing. I was diagnosed with fibro about four years ago now. I also work full time and it is so tough to manage. Never tried Epsom salt but I am not a bath taker either. Glad you found something to help you.
