I need energy! I’m exhausted from just unloading the dishwasher. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Members shared many ideas for boosting energy while living with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, with supplements like CoQ10 (especially the ubiquinol form), B-complex vitamins, Vitamin D, and magnesium being the most commonly recommended. Several members described how gentle movement, like stretching in bed, light weights, or riding a stationary bike, helped them get through the day, while others found dietary changes like keto or reducing sugar made a noticeable difference. A recurring theme was the emotional weight of exhaustion and the balance between pushing through daily tasks and honoring the body's limits.

For energy I take Jarrow’s B-Right vitamin B complex. It has quite a bit of vitamin B 6 in it. (Never go over 50 mg. of B6 according to ConsumersLab.com ). Also, Healthy Origins Ubiqinol. It is a more absorbent form of Coq10. Swanson R-fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid can also help. It can lower blood sugar so be careful with it. There are other supplements for mitochondria support that help....Pure Encapsulations has a Mitochondria-ATP supplement that has a variety of things in it. I get a little wired on it though. I think N-acetyl-Cysteine helps, but again it can make me feel wired. Over the years I have experimented with different supplements... including brands, doses . I write it all down and time of day I take and then any reaction... good or bad. And have found what works for me. I also think a clean diet helps. No processed food. Eliminate sugar. ( which is hard). Eat a ton of vegetables everyday especially greens. Even for breakfast. I read that its best to be gluten-free if you have fibro. I am pretty much, but I don’t think that that is a big issue for me. Although it is difficult to have such a diet, I find it helps me all the way around. Experiment and find what works for you. Pain on bad weather days is still a huge issue for me. God bless you all.

I bought myself a juicer for Christmas after watching a documentary called Fat,sick and nearly dead.After seeing how Joe cured himself and turned his life around, how could I not! I have a lot more energy and feel better overall, even if I only have 1 glass a day..lots of different recipes online.

When I shower, sometimes my arms aren’t strong enough to wash my hair. Does that ever happen to you?

Healthy Origins brand of ubiquinol is a much more absorbant form of coq10. That is it works better for me at least. It is best to take it or coq10 with some fat in a meal for absorption.
