Hi everyone,

I just signed up for this forum as a way to reach out to others with similar conditions as me. I have been diagnosed with cervical dystonia 3.5 yrs ago and most recently with fibromyalgia. I experienced muscle tightness and burning pain after coming off the SSRI lexapro too quickly. I have made great strides in my recovery only after getting off pain medications. A calcium magnesium vitamin D supplement seems to relieve symptoms the most for me, along with regular moderate range of motion exercises.

1) I would like to know how well non medication methods have worked to treat/deal with your own muscle tightness/pain symptoms.
2) Has anyone used the Alexander Technique or the Feldenkreis Method with much success?

Hope to hear from some of you.
