My doctor prescribed DULoxetine yesterday and wants me back to see him 3/26 to see how it’s working. I began taking sulfur five days ago and seeing improvements already; began feeling better after two days in fact.
Please weigh in if you have experience w this or any medi action given for our diagnosis. Thank you.

Oh, so good to know about the @ on names; will try to remember. Can’t wait to learn how the stuff works for you @A MyFibroTeam Member. Please keep me posted if you can.
Thank you very much for all of that wonderful information. I really appreciate you explaining it all to me. I’m going to buy it and try it. I used to take Magnesium Malate ,which I think is similar to your product. I stopped taking it ,because I didn’t feel like it was working anymore. I look forward to trying this. Take good care, Victoria.
P.S. if you put this symbol @ before my name ( with no spaces) I will see it in my inbox. Same for others you wish to message.

This is a reply to VicChang. Still familiarizing myself w this site; some is a bit counter intuitive for me.
The sulfur I am taking I purchase Gold Standard organic sulfur via Amazon. They sell multiples of one pound bags I believe and while reviewers have stated they take tablespoons a day in water, I have only taken a teaspoon daily (the standard dose), starting in hot water to melt the crystals then cooler water to make it more palatable. Of you have instant hot water, make your drink at night for the morning. I’m doing that and avoid food and anything other than coffee black for 15 minutes.
The stuff works miracles w me. I first took it for RA inflammation, hoping to quit two medications methotrexate and HCQ as I had begun a biological. I was able to remove those drugs but can’t say it was bc of this support? I had quit taking it for years and when I felt well enough recently w the fibromyalgia that began again after 20 years o tried it again, beginning at half a teaspoon bc it can upset your stomach if you don’t ease to a teaspoon.
Started a full teaspoon on day three but saw marked improvement in my pain and mobility. Now the stretches of wellbeing are even longer so I’m kite happy. Even fatigue is helped along w a sense of wellbeing; even hair, nails and skin look great. Hair grows in thicker and stronger. Pretty remarkable stuff. I need to remember to use even without fibro pain bc it’s so good at oxygenating cells. Hope this helps and wish you good health.
PS interesting aside. I’m friends w the product owner’s mother and that’s how I learned of it. She also has RA and took methotrexate and shared what her son sold and how it was helping.
More symptoms than fibro. I couldn't eat or I'd feel sick, I couldn't stand without feeling dizzy. I only try these meds for a few weeks. My doc knows me. I was put on horrific meds when in my 30's and I swore I'd never take anything like it again. Gabapentin is one of them. I looked like I was 5 months pregnant had no energy at all. It was Christmas time and I was a mess. All these drugs have the same effect on me. Our bodies are different. We have to take in to account weight, height, bowel problems. I had I.B.S that turned into diverticulitis. Now they think it's something more. *yawn!* 😂
I read everything about a meditation, I did a course on medications for mental health and pain management. Way way way back as I wanted to be a doctor. Diagnostics
Really interested me. I diagnosed my dad's cancer, He thought he was being clever. He was clever he brought me up 😂
Over here they dish out Gabapentin and other sister drugs to it for anything. They had my husband on 300mg 3 times a day because he had a bad toe, Then they wanted to fuse it. *shakes head* He is 38yrs old. Has heavy steel toe capped boots on everyday. I told him at his age and for a toe they are cray cray. Change the boots and the socks.
He actually listened to me. *faint*
3 weeks to a month later after weaning off the meds slowly he had no pain in the toe and when he went for a scan it showed stress fractures. His job was construction. A change of job and boots soon changed that. Now he walks for 17hrs on weekends to train for his next Thru-Hiking trip. He was extremely worried about his toe being fused. So yea I look everything up about everything a doctor says including meds. It's pretty bad here. £80 for a 10 minute appointment with a g.p so they rush

I have been experiencing so many symptoms the last 7-8 years that I lost my marbles trying to survive. I often wonder if it was related to fibromyalgia and just didn’t have the diagnosis. Just taking it one day at a time….
