Prognosis

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic disorder with symptoms that may change from day-to-day. There is no one treatment that will cure FMS. Finding the best treatment or combination of treatments to control your symptoms can improve the quality of your life. Treatments work best if done regularly. For example, the right exercise training program can greatly decrease pain, stiffness and other FMS symptoms. Many promising studies are underway to find the exact cause(s), best treatments and their long-term outcomes.
