my daughter has fibro and she thinks it is a "head" disease. I have tried telling her that it is not. I have had this for the las 13 years with no help. Now they have some new meds. Can someone give me some suggestions on how to help her manage the pain?

Hi magpie1641

Use  the following link for some posts regarding suggestions to manage pain and other Fibro symptoms without medication.

Make a bet with your daughter. If she uses some of those suggestions
and feels better, she will have to say to you for the next 30 days:
"You were right mom!"

Cheers!

there is no real help just lessen it lyrica fentynal oxycodone percacet and others will ease it nothing ever stops any pain from any disorder and if it does your eather mild case or way to high of dose of meds i have had fibro 30 years
and sever back damage and also fibro can get worse try not to have car accident i have had 3 and lost most use of shoulders less walking etc most any damage can add to it and overdoing it pushing it it will attack once i pushed to hard and was out for week and half also diet mild exercise try meditation self hypnoses focus and other martial arts skills i have learned also adhd has given me off the carts pain tolerance the pain clinics cant Evan measure it or pain level
