What is the long-term outlook for people with fibromyalgia?
Once stress-producing situations resolve, fibromyalgia often spontaneously improves and medications may not be necessary. Many people with fibromyalgia will continue to have symptoms at times despite treatment, especially when stress continues unrelieved. However, medication often improves symptoms. When other forms of therapy such as acetaminophen and aerobic exercise are combined to treat fibromyalgia, even more improvement can be expected.
