Been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for 4 years none of the traditional treatments have made any difference to me, meaning I have been in chronic pain for 6 years without any relief. The diagnosis of fibromyalgia was made by a doctor who I was not satisfied with. Every doctor I have seen since then has just agreed with him nobody seem to be trying to get to the bottom of the problem and throughout all of this my symptoms have gotten dramatically worse and I am finding it difficult to walk to sit to go about my daily life. I have general symptoms which could really be anything, joint pain in my knees, hips, ankles, wrists, back, shoulders and neck, fatigue and bowel problems. The only shred of information I have received over the years is I have an inflammation marker CRP of 20 and then of 14 two years later, they have never looked into this further they told me it could be ANYTHING. Surely if it could be anything you don’t just stop there. Any advice or if you have suggestions of what this could be or if this sounds familiar I would love to hear your replies. Anything at this point would mean the world to me.

Glucosamine with chondroitin msm, magnesium and D-ribose has helped me with joint, bone and muscle pain. And recently vape B12 has helped with fatigue, anxiety and depression. I use digestive advantage probiotic gummies for stomach and bowel symptoms. All these items can be googled for dose and interactions although I haven’t found any. Fibromyalgia is complicated acceptance is the first step to getting better. Supplements seem to be key to treatment and side effects are minimal or nonexistent.
