My sister has Fibro not sure about the headaches. She has gone thru every med there is, for pain, depression, arthritis etc. She has tried natural remedies, and tried nothing at all and everything inbetween including keeping a journal. She has basically accepted what she has and learned to deal with good days and bad days. Currently she has found Cymbalta has really helped her with pain and the "depression" they say she is in. She just calls it hormones! lol She had tried this a good while back but couldn't afford the even to copays since it is a top tier drug. her doctor has agreed to keep her in samples for a year. so far about 6 months and it is made a major difference. BUT... the most effective thing for her is talking with others who have it!
A support group is wonderful! Even if it is only someone who can truly understand how you feel. Just try to keep your spirits up and be around people and things that make you laugh alot! Laughter has always been the best medicine! Good luck!
