Condition
Fibromyalgia
A chronic condition of widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep and mood disturbance, with heightened pain sensitivity.
See a clinician
Some causes of fibromyalgia need medical care, not self-treatment. Seek help for any of these:
- New focal weakness, joint swelling, fever, or weight loss suggests a different diagnosis — get assessed.
What may help
Remedies studied for fibromyalgia, ranked by strength of evidence.
- C Vitamin D nutrient
Meta-analyses show a modest pain reduction, strongest in deficient patients, though some pain scales show no effect.
- D Coenzyme Q10 supplement
Two very small trials suggest CoQ10 may reduce fibromyalgia pain and fatigue, but it is not independently replicated.
- D Magnesium nutrient
A small RCT missed its primary endpoint but found a modest pain reduction; weak, mixed evidence.
