@lioness, I got some of the Fibro Malic and have been taking it for several days now. I am not sure but I do think it is working a bit. I also stepped up my turmeric with bioprene and am taking more of that as well. I take gabapentin (neurontin) and pristiq along with norco and belbuca. I still have pain but I am hopeful this Fibro Malic may help like you say. I have not been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I have most of the symptoms. My mom had it as well. My doctor said she doesn't want to put it on my records because that causes some doctors to be a little hesitant about treating you as it is so difficult to treat. She doesn't want me to have a stigma attached and she said she doesn't know if I have it or not. She does believe it is real and just believes that medical science just has not figured it out yet and that is why it is so difficult to diagnose and treat. I appreciated her honesty regarding how doctors often view a fibromyalgia patient. Have you found this to be true? I have been to so many doctors over the years, I cannot even name them all. But thanks for the tip on the Fibro Malic.
