HI @jlfisher56. I have all of your symptoms including numbness and some cognitive and speech issues. I will be seeing and integrative MD in Winston
Salem next week. However, I have found that heat and regular massage helps most. I will not take fibro meds except advil when really bad. I do not sleep well and have chronic fatigue. The neuro symptoms are becoming more frightening and hope to gain some information on that soon. The joint pain can be breathe taking is exhausting but massage oh and chiropractic care if done regularly doe relieve some of the symptoms keeping me able to work as a principal 5 days a week (most weeks).

Don't blame you in the past I've tried Savella,Cimbalta and Lyrica they didn't help and had side effects ,that's why I rely on chiropractor,ice,hot water and take Magnesium we get it through food of course but research says we need more then normal people It is a trial @error we have to do,what works for ,won't for all.
In the past I have had Neuro in hands ,arms ,feet but I swear ladies the magnesium has gotten rid of it ,When I was out of it the symptoms returned ,so I take it everyday ,look up on he National fibromyalgia site I hate to hear about all his pain.Good luck and God bless us all.
I agree 100%. I take it for leg cramps. Works like a charm.
I'll take any blessings I can get!
We have similar symptoms but our bodies react differently. I've taken a ton of magnesium glycinate, Jigsaw, good brand, no effect on anything. Also salve, onto shelf with dozens of failed supplements and meds.
Pray you get help and answers. Please post. Been finding so many articles on chronic fatigue and the new name for it. Watch TED on youtube. (CFS is often now called ME) Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME); a wonderful speaker Jennifer Brea who was going for her Doctorate (has this) gives a great presentation and a wonderful explanation of it and what science has discovered.
Glycanate
didn't help me either but Magnesium hydroxide(yields 86mg elemental magnesium ) does ,we know what helps one may not others that's why we have to research.Therecane Jennapower has this information.
Here’s the info on where to order the Thera Cane or you can get it at a medical supply store.
Hope this helps, I like mine a lot.

Flexiril also causes dry mouth. Have not had thus in years.

Jeez, we all have the same symptoms...breath taking pain and developing cognitive neuro stuff after 30 years. My hat is off to you still working. I had to retire at 64 five years ago.
