1. "In new research released this week, TONIX Pharmaceuticals has shared news that the very first drug being developed for night time usage in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome (FM), named cyclobenzaprine (CBP), is working on improving the condition's core symptoms." Check out their website; its neat. http://www.tonixpharma.com/

Basically, flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) has been used off-label by many doctors, but TONIX is attempting to get approval for a "very low dose cyclobenzaprine" because they find it more effective.
2. "Chelsea Therapeutics receives new US patent for Droxidopa drug" Chelsea Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CHTP) said on Tuesday that the U.S. Patent Office has issued a new patent for the use of drug Droxidopa to treat fibromyalgia, a chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, joint stiffness, and fatigue. Additionally, the drug is in phase three trials to treat neurogenic orthostatic hypotension http://www.proactiveinvestors.com/c...s-new-us-patent-for-droxidopa-drug-17967.html
With close to 20 years on the market, Droxidopa has proven to have very few side effects of which most are mild.
3.Newsbreak: 4 gene variants strongly associated with fibromyalgia in large study Large candidate gene association study reveals genetic risk factors and therapeutic targets for fibromyalgia
Source: Arthritis & Rheumatism, Sep 8, 2011 Significant differences in allele frequencies between cases and controls were observed for three genes: GABRB3 (rs4906902, p = 3.65x10-6), TAAR1 (rs8192619, p = 1.11x10-5) and GBP1 (rs7911, p = 1.06x10-4 Evidence of association in replication cohort observed for TAAR1, RGS4, CNR1, and GRIA4 genes
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.33338/abstract
They are actually narrowing this illness down to the genes, which I think is fascinating in part because "Variation in these genes may serve as a basis for development of new diagnostic approaches"
This last one isnt too surprising but its regarding "The relation between vitamin D deficiency and fibromyalgia syndrome in women" Among the 100 fibromyalgia women, there were 61 women with 25(OH) D deficiency;
Again, all news and studies were posted within this past week!! I feel like something is getting done
