What Is The Remedy For Arthritis With Fatigue?
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back about 10 years ago. I also have arthritis. I am in constant pain now and am very fatigued all day. I do not sleep well and am very depressed, because I cannot find anyone that will help me. I am 65 years old and have always been active. The past 5 years have been very bad. Can you help advise me?
Thank you, Roberta Ksendzuk, Louisville, KY

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.
For arthritis you can start chondritin sulphate.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation, SKY [sudarshan kriya yoga] and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
