Brief Answer:
Antioxidants and Vit D
Detailed Answer:
Fibromyalgia, ideally has no treatment.
You probably already know that.
Hence the doctors usually prescribe a large variety of medicines
These include groups like
antidepressants
antianxiety
painkillers etc
The best treatment of fibromyalgia, as per ongoing research, is variety of antioxidants.
I have found the fruits to be the richest source of antioxidants especially apples and papayas
I have therefore been suggesting my patients to go for at least one portion of this fruit daily.
I have been seeing some good responses.
Also Vitamin D is usually deficient in most of my patients
Replacement of the same helps
Best of luck
