Massage can help, especially Lymphatic Drainage Massage. But I have treated over 300 formerly suffers of Fibromyalgia, and they don’t suffer anymore. All of them are no longer suffering from it.

Yes medical massage or manual lymphatic drainage has been proven to help relieve fibromyalgia symptoms.

Fibromyalgia ,which can present as general myofascial pain, can partially respond to massage therapy.. Many of the symptoms can be related to neurotransmitter imbalance in the body.Exercise has shown to be the most beneficial in treatment of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

All the best.

Try DNA Ribose natural sugar for 3 weeks, 3 times a day. Amazon sells it.

Massage therapy can bring temporary relief of symptoms, but you need to do a natural therapy for fibromyalgia.
