@jeannegordon4 Magnesium helps some with muscle pain for me. I am sad you are suffering too. I also avoid sugar, gluten, packaged foods and try to avoid stress as it makes pain worse. Far easier typed on the page. Pain causes stress, stress makes pain worse. A vicious cycle for all of us. This fibro is not for wimps!!

A friend of mine uses prednisone for years. That has its side effects but was the only thing that helped. She takes between 2-4 mg per day and is 83 years old, walks every day and is very active. Has had it at least 20 years. She told me it was so bad when she first had it but the prednisone made big difference. Mine was bad, not like hers... but a mixture with all my other problems from my failed back fusions. Magnesium is wonderful for muscle contraction to work properly and our diets are often poor in it and you are right, our diets do affect our pain and other health conditions. Our gut is our number one defense. If it is under attack from the environment, bad foods, our body reacts in many ways negatively.
