I was diagnosed with this disease about 16
years ago. There's not a lot of info out
there on it as you may have found already.
I suppose we are all different. What
kind of pain is he experiencing? What are
the symptoms of his pain? It seems to me
if I rest my body when needed and do no do
exessive exercise I do not experience a
lot of pain - either that or my body has
become accustomed to it.
I have used muscle relaxants and over the
counter pain meds. in the past. Before
any time of physical activity it is
advised that the patient drink a soft
drink for the benefit the sugar
gives.....hope some of this helps!
