Close Fibromyalgia

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 15 years ago. About 9 years ago I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease. I was also recently diagnosed with Scoliosis. The combination of the three medical conditions has become increasingly difficult to manage.

Treatments

Acupressure Working / Worked

This helps along with other massage techniques. Medical insurance does not cover so I am not able to receive it as much as I need.

Acupuncture Working / Worked

This has helped the most but most medical insurance does not cover.

Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked

This helps but most insurance does not cover or does not cover enough treatments.

Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked

It helps me get more restful sleep but makes me more foggy the next day.

Dietary Modification Working / Worked

I have tried to eliminate processed foods. There are a lot of food additives that seem to agrivate my condition. Most specifically MSG which is a hidden ingredient in most processed foods. I feel the best when I am able to stick to mostly natural and organic foods. My budget does not allow me to eat the way I would like to. I know I think I also need to eliminate meat and dairy. I try to focus on vegetables fruits and grains.

Massage Working / Worked

massage therapy and myofascial techniques provide the best relief. Insurance does not cover.

Yoga Working / Worked
