Quite often people have numerous accompanying challenges that they are dealing with, in addition to fibromyalgia. My fibromyalgia Do's and Don'ts Use this section to give other fibromyalgics tips about what does not work for you (i.e. what aggravates your fibromyalgia symptoms), or give tips on what actually works for you (i.e. what does not aggravate your symptoms).
