Thanks for your reply. Since I can't take medication for Fibromyalgia (due to the medications I'm already on), I was wondering if there was anything else besides pills for the pain. Nice to know lidocaine and ketamine infusions work for you. Maybe I can use that as an option for the pain...
No I haven't tried a heating pad for my chest. I've used it for my arms. It is comforting. I take vitamin D3 everyday.

Good luck to you...
