Massage Therapy

Massage can give great relief to those with fibromyalgia. Studies released from the University of Miami Touch Research Institute concluded that the benefits of massage include heightened alertness, relief from depression and anxiety, increased immune function, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and reduced difficulty in getting to sleep. Massage increases circulation in the body, gives relief from musculoskeletal pain, and helps to increase flexibility and mobility—all important for FMS patients

There are things to think about on that page.

Some of course are impossible, but some are worth thinking about?

Avoid foods that contain caffeine, including teas, colas, and chocolate.

Keep a sleep diary. Write down how you slept each night and triggers that may have interfered with your sleep. Reviewing your notes over several weeks may give you insight into your sleep problems.

Hunger may disturb sleep; a light snack of carbohydrates may help sleep.
