Why So Many Symptoms | Relationships | Fibro Meds Resource Kit | Top 25 Meds Chart

The Fibromyalgia Network has carefully packaged topics that are in high demand by patients. Our current focus involves a special issue on Relationships; an at-a-glance chart of current medications being prescribed; and a much larger collection of Journals and information that offers an in-depth overview of all the FDA-approved fibromyalgia medications, and what other patients and doctors are saying about them.


Fibromyalgia: Why You Have So Many Symptoms

If all you had was muscle pain, it would be so much easier to understand your illness. But what do your achy muscles have to do with your sleep difficulties, profound exhaustion, digestive problems, memory and concentration deficits, lack of balance and coordination, skin sensitivities, and a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms?

Why You Have So Many Symptoms offers evidence-based, comprehensive  explanations from more than 20 researchers. The better you understand what is going on with your body, the more equipped you will be to develop strategies to minimize your symptoms. This Journal-sized special issue offers 32 pages and covers a variety of topics and symptoms including:

  • Muscular knots, aches, stiffness, cramping, twitching
  • Why those knotted trigger points are the source of many symptoms
  • Too much fatigue, too little energy, and too weak to move
  • What’s going on to cause your brain fog and trouble finding the right words?
  • The role your nervous system plays in generating symptoms such as dry eyes and mouth, dizziness, and cold extremities
  • How your dysfunctional brain and spinal cord are magnifying your pain and a host of other sensory sensitivities, such as loud noises and clothing textures
  • Why good sleep can be so elusive
  • How your fibro affects your mood and emotions
  • The impact of hormones and metabolism, leading to weight gain and hypertension
  • Digestive disorders, skin sensitivities, neck strain and more …

Relationships and Fibromyalgia

Special Issue: RelationshipsDoes your spouse and family question you when you say you are not up for participating in a physical activity with them? Do you always feel as though you look much better than you feel? Or, perhaps your partner is just pretending that your “fibromyalgia phase” will be over within a few months, and you can both get back to living life as it used to be. These are just a few of the strained relationship problems that you are probably facing, given the invisible nature of your symptoms, but there are ways to resolve them.

The Special Issue on Relationships is a 20-page collection of helpful advice on the social aspects of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Experts weigh in on how to keep your personal relationships strong, enjoy intimacy in spite of pain and fatigue, and help children (or grandchildren) cope with your fibromyalgia. Improve your emotional well-being by learning to handle hurtful comments and unwanted advice. Plus, find out how to help others relate to your condition, improve communication, and keep a positive attitude.

Don’t let the obstacles brought about by fibromyalgia put a strain on your relationships. Click here to order the Special Issue on Relationships, available for only $9, which includes free shipping in the U.S.

Top 25 Meds Chart and State Referral

Do you want to know what other fibromyalgia patients are taking to relieve their pain? Interested in changing what you are currently doing because the side effects are becoming unbearable? It’s hard to guess where to begin or what to expect when you start a new treatment. Stop guessing.

More than 3,400 Members of the Fibromyalgia Network responded to a recent survey and told us which medications were most successful. We drew this all up on a convenient, color-coded chart that describes how different medications work and lists top side effects and tips. The Top 25 Meds Chart comes with the current Physician Referral List for your state (50 U.S. states) and registered Support Groups in your area.
