Fibromyalgia help/questios

Thank you for sharing, I hope that your new GP has a good understanding of fibro and chronic pain.
Dealing with pain makes you so tired and it saps all of your energy. I hope that you will be feeling much better very soon. I am a proponent of sports drinks with the electrolytes in them. Staying hydrated is so important. Stay well.

Hi
Yes I do hydralyte tablets they are effervescent. There is no crap in them very low sugar. You can get them on Amazon. My pharmacist suggested them

Hi
Prior to cymbalta I was on cyclobenzaprine it's a muscle relaxer also helps with pain. After knee surgery my pain was intolerable and cymbalta was used to control it. It's a fibro med. I only needed it to recover from surgery. Then I went back on cyclobenzaorine As you know, fibro comes and goes I have had it since the age of.
Mid twenties so. Mine is Controlled by Supplementation and c b d/cbn oil and advil plus. Since going thru radiation therapy i have severe fatigue and sleep issues. Waiting on my new gp to decide what to try.

Do you take the cyclobenzaorine daily? I usually only take it during bad flares, but have pain every day but wasn't sure it was okay to take it daily. What supplements help you? I also have sleep issues so am tired every day. Thanks.

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.

I have had fibromyalgia for 28 years, and I control it with supplements. I can no longer take Western Medicine due to severe allergies to the fillers in the prescriptions. I use Quercetin 500mg 2 x day, Vitamin C 2500 mg daily, Boswellia capsules to help with pain 2 capsules 3 times a day, various minerals and Vitamin B shots every other week - I give myself the shots, Magnesium Glycinate 1 1/2 tablets at bedtime. This regimen has kept me out of severe flareups - the flareups I get now are mostly caused by me overdoing things. I hope this helps.

I am like you all, I was in a car accident and also have extensive neck and back injuries. I have functional movement disorder in addition to fibromyalgia. Cymbalta and gabapentin help with the pain and tingling, itching, crawling nerve sensations. I also take a multivitamin, magnesium, B, and iron. It is a difficult road with the pain and weakness.
