Fibromyalgia - I'm new here

Hi everybody,
Hi everybody, I am a new member. I have had FM for three years and a half now.
So far I haven't taken any medication for it. I don't like medication and antidepressants are just scary to me. So I have been doing yoga, hot yoga. It is great, it takes away the knots, relax the muscles and make them stronger. So far so good!
Now I have been having these headaches for six months. And that is what brought me to this forum. With the headache I have nausea and dizziness . The doctor gave me antidepressant but I am not taking them. The headache is getting better though and also I started acupuncture but the headache was getting better before acupuncture. Acupuncture seems to help some.
I read fibro 101. If anybody has any good solution or has experienced the same I would love to hear from them.
We have to have lots of strength , it is not easy to deal with this.
Thanks for this forum .

Sofiane, I put "new" in your thread title so more people would notice it - Debbie

Hi,
Hot yoga is just yoga, but they heat the room at 85-95 degree. It gets warm and hot. I believe it is good for the muscles.
Thank you for your reply.

Hi I am new here too but a long time headache sufferer. Have you tried magnesium? A lot of headache and migraine sufferers get some relief from that. There are some other natural supplements that people have success with but magnesium is the big one and it helps with fibro too I believe. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, but I am a tough head case a friend got relief taking baby aspirin every day, that might be worth a shot if you don't have stomach or bleeding issues.

I don't know what antidepressants u were prescribed but some can really help with fibro pain and headaches and some can cause headaches it's just a matter of trial and error.

Just a note I cannot do hot yogi without getting a vicious migraine every time. I know several people who have this same experience, just incase the headaches are tied to the hot yoga.

Welcome to the forum! I wish I could help you with the migraines. I don't have them. I try not to take too many meds either. So many of them cause terible side effects. I hope you enjoy the forum. I have learned so much here. So many things I never was told by my Dr.
