if you are newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I suggest that you contact your local chapter of the Arthritis Assoc. They can give you some basic info and should be able to give you info on a support group. The support group can help you learn about FMS and its associated symptoms, pain, lack of sleep, depression, etc. They can also give you info on websites, newsletters, knowledgeable physicans, standard treatments and alternative medical treatments. Personally, I find proper meds, massage, hot showers, and SLEEP are the key issues in feeling better.
good luck - jane
