You are fortunate if you do not have side effects. Mine are extreme fatigue, dizziness to the point I can’t read or drive on the day I take it. I am extremely sleepy and my mind is very foggy that day. I also feel as if organs inside me are trying to move around and I feel very very hot off and on all day. Has it helped your pain? After a month on it my pain is no different. I guess it takes longer to help the pain.
