A friend gave me some homeopathic tablets which have helped considerably with pain. I can't give you information about them because they have disappeared from the website from where they were purchased. If they come back online I will let you know.

Fibromyalgia
Introduction - (to an overall view)
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons; fatigue; and multiple tender points on the body. While no one knows what causes fibromyalgia, there is evidence that people with the condition may be more sensitive to pain because something is wrong with the body's usual pain perception processes. More women than men have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia, while different for everyone who has it, tends to come and go throughout life. It also tends to coexist with sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome. Although fibromyalgia can be debilitating for some people, it is not degenerative or life threatening, and you can manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life with professional and self care.

Do we look/feel like this?
By way of contrast - I was mesmerized yesterday watching the semi-final tennis match at Wimbledon between Andy Murray and Roger Federer. Such serves, skill, stamina and suspense! How I admire the agility and ability of these players. I await the final match tomorrow with great anticipation.
