I've had Fibro for 30 years, just diagnosed with RA. For my Fibro I use self hypnosis and music. I also take Nortriptyline for sleep. I can deal way better with pain if I can sleep.

Yes and quite frustrating with this weather. All I can really do is be mindful of the activities and not push too hard. Meditation in the morning is the only thing that keeps from being a total grump all day. What are you doing that helps?

I have both conditions. I use the heating pad across my shoulders a lot! I also take almost hot baths with Epsom salt and soak for like 20 minutes

I have RA, fibromyalgia and polymoisitis(another muscle issue) I am on sulphsalazine for RA, cymbalta for fibro and nothing for polymyositis at this time.

Thanks for the information. Massage does help me, and exercising when I can. Warm baths help too.
