The drugs they give us for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
often don't work that well and all too often have side effects that
make us run away screaming (in our heads, anyway, since few of us have
the energy to actually run!)
That leads many of us to seek relief with supplements. There, too,
we'll find things that don't help and that we can't tolerate, but a
lot of us do ferret out some supplements that make us feel better.
I take about a dozen supplements a day, and if I don't I can
definitely feel it. However, I've discarded many that didn't seem to
do anything for me, and I've also found several that do bad things to
me, including some of the best researched and most popular ones for
fibromyalgia (such as CoQ10 and malic acid.)
