HAs Anyone Heard Of Ivermectin Being Used As A Treatment For Fibro

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hermanus, ZA

I know of someone with fibro who was taking Ivermectin during Covid. She suffered really badly with the usual fibro symptoms and often spent days unable to get out of bed.
She noticed that whilst taking the Ivermectin, her quality of life improved drastically to the point that instead of having the occasional GOOD day she now only has the occasional BAD day. She is still taking it and has not looked back since.

My husband's physician believes it is a placebo effect. I know it is used in veterinary to treat parasites. So it was a long shot, but if it works for her then that's great, even if it is the placebo effect.

I don't think physicians prescribe it "off label" for Fibro. I've seen it prescribed for parasites and Covid. Glad she had the secondary benefit of helping with the Fibro symptoms.
