    Patients who bottle up their fibromyalgia pain and fatigue, along with the stress and emotions that can come with them, are only likely to make their fibro symptoms worse. Patients need to find people they can talk with about their condition. They should not rely solely on family and friends for support. They need to find a local or online fibromyalgia support group or schedule sessions with a behavioral therapist or counselor.
