I, too, have fms and headaches. Both are difficult to treat, as each one of us is different and responds differently to medications, treatments, etc. I stay away from aspartame. Drink lots of water. I take magnesium and malic acid. The best advice I have been given is to pace myself. When I feel good, I don't do more than 3 things a day. We need to stop before we wear ourselves out, or we will pay for it for days. I have an incredibly understanding husband. He works full time and then comes home and does the majority of the housework, laundry and gives me very good massages which includes helping me stretch. I don't know what I would do without him. We must be proactive about our health care. We know our bodies. Find a doctor that will listen to you and respect what you say.
