Brief Answer: Lots can be done to improve your condition. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX Thank you for your query. Fibro fog is difficult to treat and takes time. But definitely there are lots of things you can do to improve your condition. Get good sleep by avoiding caffeine, taking pills like eszipoclone and zolpidem and amitryptiline which reduce fatigue. Vitamin D supplements and L-Acetyl Carnitine are known to help Exercise regularly, do yoga and meditation as it causes release of endorphins which reduce the pain. Also do mental exercises like jigsaw puzzles and crossword as they help keep you mentally alert. Massage therapy and acupressure also helps. Use a daily scheduler so that you do not forget anything Feel free to contact us further. Regards.
