As a person with diagnosed fibromyalgia (as well as some other issues) - I'd strongly encourage taking as natural of a approach to healthcare as much as possible. My doctor is in full support of this approach. Exercise (especially walking - no matter how painful) is also key in helping you overcome some of the issues associated with these illnesses. Things like turmeric for inflammation - activities that keep you moving - acupuncture - massage therapy; these all help. The drugs only mask the symptoms and over time destroy the rest of the body in the process.
To those who think it's all in their head or they're hypochondriacs - if only you had to live our lives for a day, you'd be thankful for being healthy. I wouldn't wish a life like this on anyone. Don't be judgmental towards those who are genuinely suffering everyday for years on end.
