I have fibromialga for about a year now with no end in sight. My advice is first DO NOT touch the area that is affected. For me it causes more pain and I can still feel where the person or thing touched me long after the actual touch. Second is that have her take a hot bath with eptsom salt and 15 drops of rosemary oil. (too much can burn the skin) Let her soak for hours if needs. Also to think about is where she is laying it maybe to hard or soft. There are also many diffrent pain medications out their for me not all worked the same. The doctor may need to try out diffrent ones. If you find one that works it will be worth it. She will still have good and bad days. Weather hormon levels and other things will effect her. Have faith.
