exercise, healthcare, fibromyalgia
I have been reading up on fibromyalgia and I was wondering if you found any therapies that worked better for managing symptoms. A lot of the reading describes what my GF is going through and I want to help her out as much as I can. I don't know if this is her condition for certain but everything so far suggests it a likely cause for her pain.
I don't want to bug you if this is bothersome for a stranger to ask this. I only wish to reduce pain.

@ThatDamnCat fibromyalgia is in some ways a "diagnosis of exclusion" -- there are a lot of things that could act like it that's valuable to exclude first, including some with dramatically different treatment.
For me what's helpful, mostly:
CBD & THC
Warm stuff / staying warm
Endorphins
Gently & slowly pushing myself toward more activity / fitness on my good days, extra self care on my bad
Massage (sometimes)
Muscle relaxers
Staying hydrated

@ThatDamnCat it's not a bother & I'll jump in here when I can
