Thank you so much for your support. I do find it difficult to sleep at times, I have recently tried melatonin with some success. I agree that I have to pace myself, I do find myself getting impatient with that - I want to get things done 😉
not waiting there for me.
I think I started with my fibromyalgia around age 36, shortly after we were in a car accident. We were hit by a drunk driver & my back was broken in two places. About a year or so afterwards - it started. I have been truly
suffering from this for many years now myself. As if the pain wasn’t bad enough, the increasing muscle weakness and exhaustion are wearing me down. I take a very good multi-vitamin daily and try to rest when I can.
I have tried to keep a good attitude, except that recently my flare ups are more frequent and seem to last longer. I am a little bit discouraged about that. Keeping warm is a given also!

Hi
My experience multivitamins are not recommended. Magnesium glycinate 1 hr before bed. I also take a b complex by natural factors biocoenzymated Active B complex it's the easiest and fastest absorbed. I take CBD/CBN oil at bedtime for sleep. It's legal in canada I get it thru a physician. Have you tried Lyrica or cymbalta. I was on cymbalta for 2 yrs after knee surgery to settle pain from fibro it was brutal. Tough drug to get off but helped immensely. Lyrica I tried but too strong for me. Also a muscle relaxer cyclobenzaprine 5mg at bedtime helps alot to relax muscles aids in sleep, helps depression. Was on for 10yrs. They don't recommend it long term anymore. There are good stretching videos on you tube for fibromyalgia. I hope you have a good physician. A naturopathic dr is also good to add. I also was in a car accident severe neck sprained. And whiplash.
