Fibromyalgia Management
Follow Up
- Follow-ups should be more frequent at the start of therapy, until the treatment goals have been established
- Maintain rapport
- Encourage compliance especially with exercise regimens
- Pay attention to current psychologic and physical stressors
- Evaluate new symptoms thoroughly to make sure that they are not manifestations of another disease
- Patients responsive to drug therapy may be weaned off gradually after an appropriate duration of treatment
