What Vitamins/supplements Or Any Combination Of Them, And Alternative Treatments Are Available For This?
I'm not getting any feedback from my doctors regarding this, and I know that there are other alternatives to treatment besides narcotics and sticking needles in your spine. I feel that those should be the last resort treatment if nothing else works. I am new to this website so I was told to start here to get help. Thank you.
Magnesium! I also take B12 and Vitamin D. But you need to check and see if you are deficient. I eat various seasonings in my foods.
My doctor always insists on 10-15 of gentle stretching at least two times per day as well as 45 minutes of aerobic exercise most days to help with fibro. I think yoga can be very beneficial as well as massage/myofascial release therapies. I also do chiropractic care as often as possible which usually only ends up being about once a month--it includes heat packs and TENS. The problem is that every single one of us is different meaning we have very different tolerances, pain thresholds, and helpful therapies/supplements. It's definitely trial and error when it comes to Rx meds as well as alternative methods. Good luck!
I see a chiropractor for treatment. If I don't get my spine adjusted at least once a week I can barely function. I also take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D a day. I have found that if I eliminate sugar that helps my inflammation. You should also be taking a good probiotic. That will help with your immune system. Your gut is the heart of the immune system and getting it in good working order will help.
Hi A ll,
As Patricia said, it is an individual journey. We are all different and our bodies can tolerate certain things and others we cannot. It is definitely trial and error. I was diagnosed in 2014 and I believe I have tried everything that has been mentioned here by o thers. I have had the most success with changing my diet to clean eating. Gave up sodas, sugar and artificial ingredients. What a difference! I do light stretching and kegels for bladder weakness. (By the way they work if you stick with it.) I also pray and meditate. I am on one medication for inflammation and one for fibro fog. They help. Good luck to everyone! Keep trying and don't give up.
