i know what its like to feel crappy.----it
cant hurt and you wont really know if it

massage therapist know that you have
fibro.

I go to a chiropractor who has a massuse
at the clinic. But I find that he (the
chiropractor) can just due wonders for the
pain in my back, hips, and neck region.
This is covered by my insurance but if you
know a good chiropractor it my be worth a
look into.

The doctors thought I had MS did MRI on
head only had no lesions. So they said,
probably, fibromyalgia. I am taking
celebrex during day and requip at night
for restless legs. It seems to be working
pretty good. The muscle cramps in my sides
all the way up my ribs up under my arm and
the front of my shoulder into my neck
hurts the worse.A couple of times I have
been awakened in the middle of the night
and started throwing up because of the
cramps and pain.

Just finding this forum, and finding it
very helpful. I have fibro, was diagnosed
8 years ago. I am also a massage
therapist. Honestly, I find massage very
helpful for myself but the results are
temporary....a few days. I have lots of
regular clients that say massage really
helps them. As with most fibro symptoms
and treatments, its a personal thing. What
works for one person may not work for
another. You just have to keep an open
and positve mind and try everything.
