FMS in other countries...how do we compare?

I think it would be great to maybe compare notes with people that have FMS from other countries..are there different medications,remedies,exercise,drs,clinics and books...I hope this will help us all and give some other options....

    I am doing 50% better over all with my medication (I also have joint hypermobility) (Cocodamol, pregablin, diclofenac, trazodone, and meds for the side effects pf my meds lol) and I have had 4 sets of Physio, 3 lots of CBT and Hydrotherapy which rocks, an understanding GP surgery and all this means I am motivated to do pilates each morning and do my physio exercises, it really staves off those bad days! I have fewer now than I did 6 months ago. (plus I am studying for my physics degree which is an amazing distraction!)

    Hi I am in the UK and to be honest with you, treatment depends on what area you live in and if you are lucky enough to live in an area where there is a alleged 'specialist' the chance of getting any help is minimal. I will come back at another time to go into it further cos just thinking about it is giving me a headache.

    Hugs to all

    Hi, I am from Pennsylvania in the USA, I am here to find out if other countries have better treatments aqnd also if the universal health plan is as bad as we here in the US, I am for any plan as long as it gives us pain treatment. Thanks for starting this community.

    I'vr tried all the 'standard' non-pharmaceutical therapies. Nutriuents, Supplements, Accupucture, Shitzu, Liver & Colon Cleanses, Metabolic Typing Diet et. etc. etc. to no net gain.

    I am looking at Dr. Sarah Myhill in the UK possibly.

    I think this is a great idea I know two doctors that are into reseach and I think some of their trials are in europe.   

    Great idea and love tinkerbell and peter pan,

    One of my favorite quotes that i hold on too is:

    'THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS AND YOU CAN FLY"  by peter pan (and I remember as he and tinker flew up and away!)
