Thought ice helped #Fibromyalgia. I was wrong & making it worse. Warm/Heat is better. Electric Heated Blanket, Infrared Sauna, Epsom Baths.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that can cause chronic pain all over the body, according to various medical sites. It can also cause fatigue and muscle stiffness, along with difficulty sleeping, headaches, concentration problems and irritable bowel syndrome. Unfortunately the disease, which is believed to be related to chemicals in the brain and oftentimes triggered by an emotionally stressful event, affects women more than men. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, although there are lifestyle changes such as exercise, minimizing stress and dietary habits that can help sufferers with their many symptoms.
