Isn,t funny how each body reacts to FMS. I suffered for years.And years! Finally ,I decided everyone was wrong.It was not in my head. (And it wasn't.) Now after years of trial and error, I feel much better a lot of the time. I found my thyroid is bad;this has been shown to be a possible link to FMS. My cholestrol is too high;there is a link there,also. With the proper medication, I didn't need a sleep medication as often. My Dr. reccommended Ambien.I'd swear by it ! It is such a pleasant release from pain and sleeplessness at night.I don't feel hung over,drug out .Just free. I can judge how bad I feel and determine if it will take 1/2 or a whole pill. Since I have been taking synthroid for over a year, I take less sleep aid.Don't get me wrong, it is not a cure. and certainly not for everyone. With my problems,it is for me and maybe others.
