Helvio. They say there is no cure but.......there is management which can improve the quality of life. Support and understanding from a loved one is part of this management. Ur girlfriend possibly will have bad days when she is not coping but she will also have good days when life is wonderful. There are many said remedies for fm and I am just beginning to get relief from them now. U sound youn g, so this is good. ur gf can learn to manage a wonderful marriage as well as fm if she is willing. If you love her as I presume you do , Im sure you can work through the tough times together. Staying positive always helps.

Hi Helvio, Just knowing about your girlfriends fibro and seeking info about it now before you are married makes me think you must be a kind and caring person. Some of us wish we had that. My not expert advice would be to go to her Dr. with her ,learn all you can together , love and patience above all is sometimes the best medicine. Stress does cause pain in fibro and depression. She is a lucky girl to have you caring. Also give her a helping hand when she needs it, it will mean alot to her. Fibro is manageable if you find the right Dr. and meds..........Good Luck and Good Health to you both..............Colleen

I think fibro is Lyme disease. Please go to www.lymenet.org/FlashDiscussion/MedicalQuestions and study there. You can post there and people will respond. They can help you find a knowledgeable doctor to test and treat for it.
