Hi Everyone,

I'd like to hear from everyone on what they " actively do " to help with their

Fibro and what they " take " in the form of

supplements/vitamins/minerals. I'm very curious to compare notes on this.

I'll post what I do/take to give you an idea of what I'm asking. I'm

starting to see some improvements and I wanted to know what other things

people are using and if they find that it helps. It's always good to find

another alternative that's working for someone.

I take a 50mg Ultram around noon and another around 9 pm, 25 mg Elavil

at 9 pm and 800 mg Slexin at 9pm. Other than that all I take is a

women's multivitamin. I don't do any of the chiropracter, massage,

water therapy etc because my health insurance will not cover it.
