Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I got the shots from an acupncturist. The 2 products are a little hard to find in stores. Willner Chemists online (or in NYC) has the Fibroplex, though I think that it is not listed-- you need to call them for it. Some chiropractors or other alternative practitioners carry the Metagenics line. I found the lotion at a health food store when I was traveling in Massachusetts. Online I have seen that some other health food stores carry it, but none near me, so again I have to order it from someplace online. Good luck!. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Pielet. Where do you find the Fibroplex? Also, where do you find the Sympathical's Fibromyalgia lotion? I'm always open to new ideas. What kind of doctor gave you the injections?

I think it helped, but the people all complained so much about how horrible they felt (none of them had FM), that I started to become very negative and " un-hopeful " about my pain. So after 3 rounds (about a year or so), I stopped going. I also tried acupuncture (not very helpful for me, though I know others who had better results), massage (felt good at the time, but no lasting effects), and homeopathic injections of Traumeel into the trigger spots (a little effective). For a long time I was taking Fibroplex (nutritional supplements) and that really helped almost immediately. Then I got lazy and stopped taking them. When I went back to it, it didn't seem to work anymore, but maybe the pills were just too old. Maybe I'll try them again... About 3 years ago I found Sympathical's Fibromyalgia lotion and that has worked pretty well. On my very bad days, I'll pull it out and I do get some substantial relief. It's a small bottle, but a tiny bit goes a very long way. It's just very hard to find. Can't wait to hear others' experiences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
