I'm also taking a lot of supplements, so many I get sick and tired of them and who knows how much they help, really. What works one day may not work the next. On top of it all, I actually forget that I do have fibromyalgia and that sometimes physical and mental fatigue, pain, exercise intolerance, can be the result of a flare. It's usually my husband who brings that to my attention. Lol. But I do get so carried away with figuring out the reason for every little thing that happens inside of me I'm sure it borders on hypochondria or obsession. It comes from the need to control. If I could just figure out why something happens I could take steps to prevent it from happening in the first place, or at least fix it. Well, that's not always the case, I'm learning the hard way, the older I get. Thanks for being here to share your story!

I agree that there is a definite tyranny to having to take supplements on a schedule, but I don't expect to take them forever. I started out taking my supplements five times a day and am now down to three.

By the way, one of the supplements I take is L-methylfolate--a rather expensive prescription B vitamin that can help with anxiety. I think you take this as well. Just thought I'd share that I found a coupon on Good Rx that saves major $s.
