    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I've had fibro symptoms for about 24 yrs. Was diagnosed about 10 yrs. ago. I've tried acupuncture, massage, various herbs & vitamins, chiropractic & osteopathic medicine, physical therapy, & even a "yeast free" diet without any real last benefit. I take several prescribed meds. from my GP with moderate success.

      Treatments

      No visible benefit.
