Fibromyalgia brings with it muscle spasms and "a lot of pain" that is treated mainly by exercise. VanEgmond said participants are encouraged to remain on their medâ€" ications, despite the numerous side effects all of them have. Participants learn to manage their pain through appropriate exerâ€" cise, relaxation, energy conservaâ€" tion and proper nutrition, she added.
