It can feel like you are dying or dead. It can also get enough better that you can have a life again. Probably not the one you had before but a life nevertheless. Try things. A hot shower before bed can make sleep start and last. Some magnesium can make you fall asleep. Tryptophan can too...

I explain FM to friends and family this way. A healthy person is a kind of fully charged battery. They do whatever all day long and get recharged automatically by eating food and sleeping. A person with FM has only 1% of a normal charge in their battery and it never charges back to more than 1%...

I tried D-Ribose from Vitamin Shoppe. It was cheaper and effective but had a constipation side effect. With that one you scoop as much as you like. Not a capsule.

Try gabapentin for pain, Energy Revitilizer Solution and Elysium Basis for energy. Really helped me. Read Fatigued to Fantastic by Dr Jacob Teitlebaum.

I manage FM by doing many small things. You might want to keep trying to find things that work for you. When I get too much pain and too tired I take a long hot shower. I also preheat my bed and toast myself with an electric blanket on high. Turn it down before you go to sleep. Seems like such...

I used to lay in bed too tired to roll over too. Before I retired I was an analyst. When I got FM in 2015 I researched it a lot. After reading "Fatigued to Fantastic" by Dr Jacob Teittlebaum I tried D-Ribose and the vitamin and mineral supplements he recommends called Energy Revilalization...

Try gabapentin (cheap prescription) for pain and Eylisium Basis (Internet) for energy and general cell health. Really helped me. Get a cat. Very peaceful and loving companion.

I've been walking Mondays and Thursdays on a treadmill at a gym because it's climate controlled. No going out in the heat or cold which effects FM. I try to do a stretch routine I developed everyday but often can't. I also try to do something hard like cut a little firewood with an ax to keep up...

Could be worse (my goto thought), you have a dog. I have a cat. Demanding cute little suckup wants in then out then in then out, all day. Try gabapentin prescription for pain and Elysium Basis from the Internet, too. They both help within a day or two. I try frickin' everything. And I don't sell...

I forgot to mention I get help from a chiropractor and physical therapist. Reliefs for knots and stiffness and pain.

Try gabapentin for pain. Works good, cheap too. Prescription needed. I take it for flare ups.

I used gabapentin for pain. It was my only prescription. It seemed to retrain my pain receptors or something. Now I just take Le-Vel Thrive and their Boost and vitamins products. Half a dose per day to keep the cost down. And I take Elysium Basis. These two companies products seemed to have...
