I haven't heard of it. I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and my rheumy said that it feeds off my ra.

Has anyone heard that?

Sweetie, I wish I had some answers, but you are going to find that what works for 1 person may not work for another. Anythings worth a try, just don't be dissapointed if you don't get the same results.

Hugs,
