I have a mom with Fibromyalgia, I understand it but i want to learn about it better. Is there a cure for it? Or any way to lessen the pain for her?
As the title suggests, i have a mom with Fibromyalgia, i do not have it (i have my own problems but not this), so i’m not sure if i can post here, but i thought i could just to get advice on maybe how to help, why it causes the problems it does, and if there’s a medical professional out there who can help. Our family has watched her struggle for many many years now, she still tries to stay in good spirits, but on her bad days she is just exhausted, physically and mentally. She doesn’t take any medication (medication doesn’t do well for her, the side effects can be bad so she’s always been wary), I just want to know is there *anything* out there that could possibly help her? Even a little. For more of a history she has sleeping problems, she doesn’t sleep well at night due to sleep apnea so she is pretty tired a lot, she can sometimes go into a shaking fit when she eats something that sets her off (she described it as heavy chills/shaking, feeling cold, constant bathroom trips, ect), she can be extremely drained by it, i don’t know if this is caused by Fibro per se, but i thought it’d be important to disclose. I guess we all just want to see her get better, she says there’s really nothing you can do about it, and that doctors just cant help her.. but i just wanted to ask for advice, recommendations, and even just more knowledge on this that i can pass onto my mom that she might not know, since this is a group specifically for this!
