TREATMENT & EDUCATION

Since there is no known cause for FMS, there are not many highly effective treatments. Patients need to become educated about their disease so they can help themselves control it, and not let it control them. If the patients do their part and have a physician who is supportive and knowledgeable about FMS, they cope better. In addition to patient education, people close to the patient and the general public also need to learn more about FMS. Since the disease lacks a laboratory diagnostic marker, it tends not to be taken seriously by many physicians, government officials, uninformed relatives and friends, and the public.
