As far as I know, there are no known cures for fibromyalgia, though the symptoms can be controlled through, among other things, diet and exercise. I know more than one woman who has it, and they say it is most definitely real, an autoimmune disorder that has caused them problems ranging from severe depression to headaches. I would suggest reading some online newsletters or finding books about the condition, educating yourselves as best as possible, and finding a doctor who believes you. Remember that when Chronic Fatigue Syndrome first started showing up, no one believed that was real, either.

I wish you and your wife the best.
