   Sadly there is no cure for either one. There are many things that can help you deal with both, however; you should find a reputable doctor who will work with you.

   They are 2 completely differnent things
   Fibromylagia is a disorder of teh central nervous sytem-

   the best treatment right now is knowledge

   The 3 approved treatments are Cymbalta, Lyrica, and Savella.

   The 1st 2 have limited success-and side effects
   the 3rd was just approved and not in use yet

   know whta it is NOT
   it is NOT
   thick body fluids, body acid, a liver problem, there are not 4 types og fibro-as a website called fibrofix says…those conditions can cause pain an fatigue, but not REAL FMS….

   It is not
   pychological
   a vitamin deficiency
   hormonal
   a form of arthritis
   autoimmune

   There is no inflammation

   Know that while some docs won’t diagnose FMS at all, many will overdiagnose it-using it as a genral term for pain–even when it is due to something else like lifestyle or another condition (arthritis). they are too many people diagnosed with arthrtis and FMS-most only have arthritis–teh docs just lable the painof arthritis as FMS-even though its all from teh 1 condition-arthritis

   No, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.
