Twitching part of fibromyalgia

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. With fibromyalgia , twitching of legs is very common. Pain killers like tylenol, tramadol , or advil etc along with antidepressants as cymbalta and seizure meds like gabapentin and pregabalin altogether must be used in order to maintain a symptom free life. Apart from it, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise , adequate sleep etc is also necessary. Try acupuncture, tai chi or massage therapies or other meditation techniques, all of these help as well.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
