You get to be a little leary of everyone who says they have a cure for FMS, but when it is the Mayo Clinic speaking, it's at least worth hearing them out. Here is some of the latest news:

"Acupuncture not only offered pain relief for fibromyalgia patients, but it significantly improved fatigue and anxiety symptoms, Mayo Clinic researchers reported.

"This prospective, partially blinded, controlled, randomized trial included 50 fibromyalgia patients who had met American College of Rheumatology criteria for the disorder and had tried conservative treatments, including dietary and herbal supplements, David Martin, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues, here wrote in the June issue of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

"Although not progressive or degenerative, fibromyalgia can severely affect quality of life. The disorder is possibly an alteration in pain threshold or sensory processing at the spinal cord level or higher cortical levels and has no known cure. Fibromyalgia affects 2% of the general population: 3.4% women and 0.5% men."
