@clownscrytoo I am in one of my lows and lack energy to even think about doing something. Depression engulfs me when the pain gets worse. Loneliness takes any energy that may have hidden a way. Is what it is. In that dark chasm of not wanting to try. Any of the meds for fibro mess terribly with my mind and I become suicidal on most of them. The Cannabis thing is illegal where I reside and dubious about this as a solution. With the quirky reactions I have to medications I shudder at what this may do. Just because I can no longer work does not mean I am happy w/o a quality of life. I find some quality at times. Excuse please, head not thinking positive at this time.

I like you have had fibromyalgia for 30yrs. We need 8 hrs deep sleep for our muscles to relax.I will ask my Dr.about Flexeril ,is this a muscle relaxer or sleeping pill?I do take about 1000 mg of magnesium a day this helps me .
Flexeril is a muscle relaxer
I was on Magnesium for years and my IBS became uncontrollable and I had to come off:(
So sorry to hear this was it citrate?that will cause diarrea the ones that don't are gluconate,Malate and some others there are alot of different compounds,for lack of better word, of magnesium.Oxide is another but it it helped you otherwise ,look into research of the different kinds of you haven't done so.
It is a muscle relaxer. My doctor explained to me it works with the brain to help you sleep and not wake up so often. If I don't take it I wake up many times during the night. I only take it at bedtime.

I have had fibro for at least 30 years. All I have taken is flexerol at bed time. It helps me to sleep all night. I have had to take pain meds after some surgeries and they absolutely do not help fibro. There is nothing out there that helps it except you have to move. Laying around does not help it. They have proven that excerise is the only thing that helps. Water excerise is the best. Try it , you might feel better.
