Researchers have discovered that certain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which controls mood, sleep patterns, and pain, are very low in fibromyalgia patients. Apparently disturbances in brain chemistry are to blame for the changes that occur in muscle structure and metabolism in those suffering from Fibromyalgia.
Currently there are no drugs approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration to treat Fibromyalgia although there are a few currently being developed.
Doctors mainly aim to treat symptoms of Fibromyalgia with the following types of medications:
·
Eat soft foods high in flavonoids (such as fruits and vegetables) to provide antioxidants to decrease joint pain.
·
Avoid saturated fats and fried foods as they increase inflammation.
·
Do not take big bites; rather cut your food into smaller pieces, so you don’t have to overwork your jaw.
Herbs most beneficial in fibromyalgia are:

Harpagophytum procumbens (‘Sengaparile,’ ‘Devil’s Claw’) – Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Devil’s Claw in supporting joint, cartilage and back (especially lower back) health.
Boswellia serrata – Modern science has verified its excellent benefits for joint health. With regular use, blood supply to the joints is also maintained, keeping soft tissue nourished and viable. Recent research into Boswellia is at the forefront of developments in the field of natural joint health and studies suggest that this natural substance can help to support the health and integrity of cartilage in the joints.
Glucosamine is naturally manufactured in the body and scientists know that this simple substance is found in relatively high concentrations in the joints and connective tissues, where its function is to repair cartilage and maintain joint mobility. Although we know that the body can manufacture small amounts of glucosamine, this is not generally sufficient to sustain joint health, which makes supplementation very important.

You need a proper diagnosis first. This will rule out any other problems.
