Electrical Shocks
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Hi! Wondering if anyone experiences electrical shocks throughout their body? I get them so badly my body actually moves on it's own. If I get one in bed, my whole body raises off the bed. Once, while drinking a glass of water I got a shock and hit the glass into my teeth. No broken teeth...that time and I hate drinking out of plastic! :)

Has Anyone Found Relief From A Natural Method Called Homeopathic Cell Salts?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

If so, which brand name and which ones did you use? I used to get some relief from mag phos years ago but I stopped using it. I think it was the lactose that was in it that bothered my stomach. I also tried all of them together. They have one that's more expensive than Highlands on Amazon called Jackson cell salts. It's in a glass bottle Etc and doesn't have lactose. The mag phos is for muscle spasms, stress and leg cramps. I've tried electrolytes and I don't think normal powdered electrolytes… read more

In desperate need of some pin relief methods. I have chronic pain in my neck and across my shoulders and right down to the bottom of the shoulder blades. It was suggested to me the TENS would be of benefit to me but I have no knowledge of what I should and should t be looking about. Can anyone help me out here? Is there a good one to get? Any to stay away from?
