Helenmarie welcome! -I was diagnosed about 7 years ago -it's not an easy thing to live with -but we can all benefit from other people's experience n what helps them. I'm on meds too and yes they have helped but there are still bad days n good days. I find exercise can be a true help. But when your having a very painful day I know that's hard too. I find swimming to be what I turn to on these days. The water is gentle n soothing. My body moves easier in the water and I always feel better when I'm done ! Best of luck to you!

I'm sure it is hard on our loved ones when we are not feeling well! That's wonderful that he is reading the leaflet n wants to educate himself!
