Fibromyalgia Medicine Articles
Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread pain, poor sleep, fatigue and often mood, cognitive problems. It affects 3.3% of the Canadian population which amounts to about 900,000 people. It is a difficult condition to treat and requires the use of more than anti-inflammatories and Tylenol with codeine. Newer medications are available including Health Canada approved Pregabalin (Lyrica) and Duloxetine (Cymbalta). There is emerging evidence for medications such as tramadol and pharmaceutical cannabinoids (marijuana pill or spray). Non-drug therapies are also summarized in the key review papers. |
