Reaching out to others with Fibromyalgia

I have been trying to give others with fibromyalgia that have asked for advice some tips on controlling pain with diet and exercise but it seems as if no one wants to hear any answers unless it is something that has to do with medication. I feel that everyone is searching for that miracle drug because no one wants to put in a little effort to get their pain under control. A lot of medications have horrible side effects, can cause you a large amount of weight gain and can make you a zombie. I wish that they could see that there is more to life with fibro than being in pain and being medicated. I am at a loss as to how to get through to people and help them if they want to toss aside everything that you share with them.
