Alternative relief other than medications

Does anyone know if there is anything that helps with fibromyalgia other than a medication? I am looking to control it without having to take any meds. I am 25 and would prefer not to take pills and shots.

I have just decided to tell the docs to shove my pills up their beep mainly coz they are getting on my last nerve. Actually feel a bit better for it too. I find the best treatment for fibro is laughter, followed by distraction by keeping busy. It also will help sleep which then helps the pain a little. Found the love of my life too which has helped massively. Heat is always good for me aswell. And stay away from negative people!! And stress lol.

Good luck with your fibro management!!

Thank you. I too have found the love of my life and he is very helpful and supportive. Makes life and my fibro much easier.Laughter is the best medicine for just about anything and in turn does keep you diatracted from any pain physical mental fibro.

I've talked with my naturopath about this, as even naturopathic medicine isn't working for me. Gentle exercise, warm bath, good posture...those types of things are meant to help. Gentle exercise being gentle yoga, tai chi walking in a warm pool, walking, etc. I'm also going to be trying acupuncture which i've heard can help :). He has also suggested topical treatments like tiger balm or a warming lotion.
