This sounds promising!
An inexpensive drug called Naltrexone, which has been around for about 3 decades, may make a good treatment for fibromyalgia, according to researchers at Stanford University.
The study was very small, using ten women who had had FMS symptoms for at least ten years, and recorded their responses using computers as to their reactions to pain, hot and cold.
Go check out the article on WebMD and judge for yourself. There probably won't be a prescription for anything like this for several years, but any positive news on treatments are always welcome.

My symptoms have waxed and waned throughout the year or so since I last posted. I've made a conerted efford to cut out aspartame and that seems to help. I wonder if the new sweetner made from the Stevia plant (since it's from a plant and not a lab) is any good. Anyone try it? I haven't yet, but I might soon if what I'm hearing about it is the real deal.
Right now, I'm dealing with a middle ear infection and a ruptured eardrum resulting from the infection. It's not fun and I don't wish it on anyone.
Until next time (whenever that may be)--

Hi! My name is Joyce and I use Stevia instead of any other sweetner and do not have a reaction to it. I seem to react to every other medication, food, etc. They did an allergy test on my arms at Mayo Clinic & I reacted to all of them! I have had coughing spells so bad I need to carry an epi-pen. I also have MGUS. I noticed I feel best when I get 10 hours of sleep & eat a celiac diet. I also cut sugar from my diet which helps keep my migraines at bay. I still get them, just not as many. I try to keep stress out of my life, but that is nearly impossible! I do feel worse when I am stressed. I am on a vitamin regiment which has helped alot. Ordered them online through ABCtohealth.com.
Hope you are doing well and have found some things that work for you.
Take Care~
Joyce
