A New Fibromyalgia Remedy: Antiviral Drugs

Posted April 11, 2008

Would the treatments you describe in the book be used in conjunction with other therapies, like yoga, exercise, and other types of medications? How so?
I tend to tell people to use massage and stretching exercises but that exercise during a flare-up makes the pain worse, so I don't think that's the prudent thing to do. Most of the time when I see patients, they're on any number of antidepressants. Some of them are addicted to narcotics—all of which I think are the wrong way to go about treating this disease.
