Fibromyalgia Treatments
As regular followers of this blog will know we take a great interest in the area of natural, complementary or alternative treatments for particular medical conditions.
In this blog we would like to focus on the area of fibromyalgia and natural treatments for fibro. We have covered an overview of the possible treatment in the past so you might like to check out our previous blog on the subject here https://patienttalk.org/natural-treatments-for-arthritis/.
Today we want to find out a bit more about the natural treatments you, our readers, use to help with your FMS.
So we have decided to run a short poll to find out what treatments you have use. You can find the poll below but it would also be great if you could tell us more in the comments box below. In particular we are interested in more detail about the fibro treatments and how they worked out for you.
Many thanks in advance!
Arthritis
Before I got involved in medical market research I was under the impression that there was arthritis and there was rheumatism. And that they were pretty much the same thing.
It was just a few days into that job when I discovered how wrong I was. Indeed I’d never even heard to Fibromyalgia or Lupus in those days. Which is pretty poor form given my grandmother suffered from Rheumatoid arthritis for almost all her life.
So I thought it would be useful to find out more about the types of arthritis that our reader have been diagnosed with. With this in mind I have set up a new poll. If you do have an arthritic condition it would be great if you could take part.
This will also help us to make sure future blog posts on arthritis are relevant to our readers
Thanks very much in advance
Rheumatoid Arthritis is not just Arthritis
