   Amitripyline
   an antidepressant that can help fibromyalgia

   Many professionals believe that the central cause of the pain of
   fibromyalgia is a low level of serotonin. Thus, it is beneficial to
   raise serotonin levels and improve sleep quality along with providing
   adequate nutrition
   (That’s where an antidepressant can help, by boosting serotonin
   levels, which also affect sleep)

   -Fibromyalgia symptoms can be helped by getting more deep sleep, so
   Benadryl may be beneficial.

   Chronic pain sufferers, especially those with fibromyalgia and chronic
   fatigue syndrome, tend to be deficient in magnesium. Magnesium
   supplementation has produced very good results in treating
   fibromyalgia.

   Common painkillers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are
   not usually effective at relieving the pain of fibromyalgia. Other
   approaches, including attention to diet, exercise, and nutritional
   supplementation, are more likely to be of benefit.

   Exercise

   Daily gentle aerobic exercise is very important. While patients

   who do too much exercise too soon or of the wrong kind will make

   themselves temporarily worse, most patients who don’t begin a

   daily aerobic exercise regimen will notice little improvement in

   their fibromyalgia symptoms. Aerobic exercise is defined as

   exercise that gets your heart rate up to a target heart rate for

   the duration of the exercise period.

   Homeopathic approach

   Vitamin D
   Capsaicin Cream
   Vitamin B12

   umm, The what system?
   NEUOPR SYSTEM?? what is that..
   and you are suggesting her 14 year old son take a prescription medication for erectile dysfunction?
   and I did not suggest that vitamins are a cure. Treatable is not the same as CURABLE.
   I listed homeopathic remedies because what else is there? She said that the medicines didn’t work and she does not want to give him a prescription that is not approved for kids..

   teh 3 approved meds are Cymbalta,. savella, and lyrica..

   i am guessing that you have tried a bunch of antidepressants and anti seizure meds..

   even in adults–they have limited success…..and especially with cymablat and savella teh side effects are intoerable..

   hope lies in research and experiemtnal treatments—ampligen (for CFIDS) naltrexone, even viagra is being studied–to help boost bloood flow to teh brain–althoguh cialis for daily use sounds liek a better option

   hoempathic is an optin–but it needs to taregt the NEUOPR SYSTEM-

   not viatmin deficieny or skeletal system l
   teh options sited are unlikely to help real fibro–only misdiagnosed fibro—rmember ther is no inflammtion….

   Vitamin D –fms is not a vitamin deficieny
   Capsaicin Cream–not a skeletal/inflammtory issue
   Vitamin B12–not a viotamin deficieny

   a vitamin deficieny can mimic fms–but if you are cure with viatmins–you dind’t ahve fmns to begin with
