Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 , The mgr at GNC had mentioned that too.I picked up a couple things there the other day that I am going to try for natural energy and muscle aches.

I take maginiesm faithfully to help with the leg cramps. and an item call restless leg found at some phar. in with the natural type viatamins etc. thank wrote: Melody, For me its anything but drugs. I like to do research and see what can help me thats a dietary supplement. I even took St s Wort 4 years ago for my anxiety after that crazy Effexor episode. I'm not even sure when my FM started,cannot pin point it. I guess when I was diagnosed I was in a flare and thats how they were able to actually diagnose me. I do recall fatigue muscle aches and pains for no reason off and on over the last couple years.Just figured it was my iron levels dropping again.How long did it take for them to diagnose you??? I know that when I seen my doc the week before she diagnosed me,I felt REALLY bad for the last 3-4 weeks. I hurt and I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. UGH! How well does the chiro work for you??? I read something about that helping,just didnt know anyone who did it.Well today has been one of my tired days so off to bed I go.Thanks for the support!

I feel better now than I did then. My fibro started in 1995 and the next three years were the worst ever. Then my over all body pain was at its worst in 1999-2002 before I started seeing my chiro on a regular basis. But that's just how my body and fibro seems to respond to what I do to it. wrote: > I am not lucky,it's called a BLESSING. I don't take medication and thats by CHOICE. When I ache,I take tylenol arthritis. My pain is managed by the water areobics and I am blessed to be able to go for free. I have found dietary supplements to help my energy level and will help with my muscle aches when I do have them.Today I'm TIRED and I really needed some more sleep.BUT I need my class! There is no reason for me to be stressed! God takes care of me so why worry and stress??!! No,I don't have to go to the doctor but 1x per month so she can see how I'm doing.If need be I can see her more but for now,I'm ok. No one says things will stay this way for me.FM does progress and I'm just not at a bad point YET. I'm sure when you 1st found outt,it wasn't so bad.Well thats where I am. So yes I am blessed but yes it won't always be this way for me.It just is right now.My IBS is awful,but stress won't make it go away but only make it WORSE. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi , I've had some horrible reactions to medications, two being allergic reactions with hives and rashes. So when it comes to prescription meds, sometimes I panic before taking them. If it is necessary, like an antibiotic, then I face the fear. Like when I had my wisdom teeth out and I took my follow up antibiotics, but the hubby found me in tears the next morning. I was scared because I had an itchy spot on my knee and I was scared I was allergic. It's funny now though, lol. I don't respond well to narcotic pain relievers either, and I do know that hydrocodone does nothing for my fibro pain, and it makes me hallucinate. I even took half doses after wisdom teeth. Anyhow I just wanted to say I appreciate you and I like how you think. Don't let anyone get you down, stay positive! It really makes a difference in how a body feels. I don't think this is the group for me because I don't think we are allowed to post the positives, and 'what works for me' without it seeming like we are bragging. I wanted to help others and lend support to others but it felt like all I did was anger others. Now I am up after a night of NO sleep, so I'm flaring in pain and the acid reflux is really bad this morning despite my aciphex AND a zantac. I have endured more stress related symptoms since joining this group than I have in years, and that is not why I joined. I wanted to help others, but nobody wants to feel worse. I need support sometimes too and I think I need to find that somewhere else. I hope you keep in touch with me, but for now I think I must go. I can't bare it to be attacked after posting a positive post of what works for me. You are strong and handled it well but I guess I'm just a bit more sensitive and I'm not looking forward to the ibs that I can feel brewing as I type this. I gotta take care of my health, not make it worse. Take care, Hugs, Melody wrote: > Melody, > > For me its anything but drugs.
