Members shared a wide variety of natural supplements they use to manage fibromyalgia symptoms, with turmeric, magnesium, vitamin D, and fish oil emerging as the most commonly mentioned options alongside other supplements like CoQ10, garlic, alpha lipoic acid, and L-carnitine. Several members described practical ways they incorporate these supplements, such as combining turmeric with black pepper in meals for better absorption, using magnesium oil topically for targeted pain relief, and taking magnesium with calcium and vitamin D3 before bed to support sleep. A recurring theme was that while no single supplement eliminates fibromyalgia pain entirely, many members found that consistent use of a personalized combination of supplements alongside exercise and other lifestyle adjustments helped them maintain function, get out of the house more often, and manage daily activities despite ongoing pain.

I am using turmeric based supplements called Curamed and Curamin. Both have the essential oil of circumin. Just recently I decided to take Curamed with grape seed extract because it's supposed to have more anti-inflammatory properties. And it's less expensive.

Omega 3's in fish oil and magnesium are also helpful. I have read recently to take magnesium with calcium and vitamin D3 at night before bed to help with sleep.

Turmeric and black pepper combo. 1 tsp of turmeric and half black pepper in a scrambled egg, or in a vegie soup etc.. works wonders. Fish oil, magnesium, selenium, lots of vitamins help me.

Hi Bridget
Have you tried both and natural therapies... there are just soooo many things out there to try I just wondered if you've tried an osteopath or hydrotherapy... It depends I guess what type of things interest you... Magnesium spray is really helpful before bed I find it helps with pain and helps with sleep a little too.

Magnesium Malate seems to help me. I've tried other supplements and can't say they did any good. I really can't afford anything, anyway. Just RX's.
