Diagnosed several years ago(the works), taking amitriptyline which is a godsend. Still have hand pain. Going to ask my doctor about magnesium deficiency. See references here to oral supplements but it seems that other sites are recommending topical sprays or Epsom salts for better absorbability. What is your doctor recommending? Heard that oral is hard to absorb, and excess will lead to diarrhea.
I take my magnesium as powder mixed in water. It absorbs well this way and has not given me stomach problems.
Hi:
I take neurotin 400mg twice daily, vitamin D, omega 3, lidocaine patches, and use an alfa stem machine on my seriously rough days.
A friend as versatis medicated plasters for pain and said they helped with her fibro pain she puts them on morning or night and leaves them on for 12 hours then take off for 12 hours. Wondered if any body tried them and got some relief.
Yes I have tried and use the Versatis medicated pads on both my hips which are very sore. They do work but should only be used 12hours on and 12 hours off
I hope that information helps, the other… read more

So in just the last three days or so I’ve been getting random sharp pains in my left lower leg and the right side of my neck. It’s almost like a jolt of pain that just comes and goes. I know pain is a part of Fibro but my pain is usually more constant when I have a flair.
Me too! I just breathe through the pain and go on with life. It happens a couple times or more a month, can't really say what it is...

So a friend recommended taking the supplement melatonin to help with sleep. Has anyone else tried this? Does it have any drug interactions? I can easily buy a bottle at my local Walgreens and ask the pharmacist or wait and ask my doctor on tuesday. But I'd really like to find out personal experiences with it.
Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist about taking valerian or melatonin. Be sure that they are aware of all medications you take and their dosages, including supplements, over the counter… read more
