Members widely related to experiencing paradoxical or unusual reactions to medications, with many sharing that sleeping pills don't work or cause opposite effects, a phenomenon several attributed to fibromyalgia making their bodies respond differently than most people. Several members described overlapping digestive issues including celiac disease, IBS, candidiasis, and various food intolerances, with many finding relief through gluten-free and dairy-free diets despite the challenge of meal preparation during flare-ups. One member offered detailed guidance about a genetic B12 absorption issue and a supplement called Deplin that helped with energy and fatigue, while another shared that IV vitamin therapy was necessary to heal severe candidiasis before their body could properly absorb nutrients again.
