fibromyalgia

Avatar m tn It is a Rheumatologist who you must see for a fibromyalgia diagnosis and if positive,consequent treatment follows, prescribed normally by the Rheumatologist. There is no effective standard medical treatment for fibromyalgia other than symptom management, by the way. The suspected side-effects of the acupuncture cannot be attributed to the treatment itself, as it cannot be verified. Those " strange" side effects could be easily caused by stress alone.

6708370 tn?1471490210 I was very fatigued before treatment. I had no energy whatsoever and every time I tried to do anything, I would last only a short time and then I had to rest. I was tired all of the time. My fatigue basically disappeared after treatment. I actually noticed a change towards the end of treatment but I was still on Interferon so I was not exactly energetic, LOL.
