I’ve had fibromyalgia for almost a decade now, and can understand how painful life can be. I was taking up to 15 pills at one time and the side effects were worse than the symptoms. I got off everything and started taking a different approach...I smoke marijuana, use essential oils and practice mindfulness as we know that fibromyalgia is psychosomatic. I still have times where I struggle with pain but I’m able to still live a full life.
