The stiffness, tender feeling in the bones, extreme pain and insomnia can be highly effective in some patients. Consistency is the key to following up with the exercises if any improvement is seen. 

  • A full body massage or a localised hot compression is another way to manage the illness. Some patients feel the symptoms decrease with a regular hot compression massage. 

  • Psychotherapy sessions that include behaviour modification therapy for imbibing positive behaviour amidst the pain felt can improve the patient's mindset.

Consuming gluten-free foods even though the patient does not have celiac disease is another therapy for lowering the tiredness experience. Also, not consuming foods that can be fermented, such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, disaccharides and polyols, helps to reduce the symptoms. Not consuming any food additives like Monosodium Glutamate in the food, such as fast foods or continental foods that always contain such additives, also lessens the pain.
