[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 282050, member: 5689"] I am one of those helped by Cymbalta. Since I started the drug a couple of years ago, my fibro flare-ups are very rare. Before that, I did find that regular gentle exercise (swimming, walking on a treadmill) seemed to protect me a bit and that cold weather was better than hot. Over the years I've also tried osteopathy, alcohol, and prescription muscle relaxants, all to no avail. I used to cry it hurt so much, and I didn't think I could go on living with that level of pain. I guess if there's a moral to all the posts here, it's that different treatments work for different people, and it's worth it to keep experimenting to find what works for YOU, not necessarily your girlfriend, your mother, or your doctor's other patients. I mean, get ideas from wherever you can(!), but if something doesn't seem to work, then move on. Good luck to everyone. And Godspeed to any researchers out there trying to find the cause and a cure.
