    Turmeric dosage?

    Since I also take grape seed extract, another anti-inflammatory and antioxidant like turmeric, I am comfortable staying at 1000 mg of turmeric per day, with black pepper extract of course. I didn't notice much difference at 2000 mg, so why waste the money? I do believe that both of these help me...

    Pain meds

    I asked my doctor once what would be the plan of action should my pain medication stop working due to tolerance. She said that, if that should happen, we would wean me off tramadol, then abstain from any tramadol for one month, then resume. The idea of that happening scares me, so I totally...

    Any brand recommendation for B12 sublingual drops?

    You're welcome @Radmun Like I said, it's inexpensive enough that you still might want to give it a try, especially if you can't get your B12 level checked by a doctor. Many health conditions and lifestyle choices can result in a deficiency.

    Any brand recommendation for B12 sublingual drops?

    @Radmun Sorry to report that I really haven't noticed any difference since taking the sublingual B12, so I plan to stop taking it. One more experiment to cross off my list. However, it might work for someone who has more fatigue and less energy than I do. I don't want to discourage anyone from...

    Vibration machine for fibromyalgia

    @Kitkat57 would you mind providing some more information so that I can find these on the internet? A brand or a model number/name or something?

    Pain meds and fibromyalgia

    @sunkacola I hope it helps, and I am very interested to hear in the future your feedback on it. I have not tried that either.

    Pain meds and fibromyalgia

    @Drummer76 I take pain medication and clonazepam as well. With my pain med, I don't take the same amount every day or at the same time every day. I don't have them in my pill box to take on any set schedule, although I do take some everyday as needed. I keep a spreadsheet of how much I have...

    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    @sunkacola Now I can say without a doubt that this CBD rub works really great for the osteoarthritis in my right hand and wrist! Yay! I'm ordering a back applicator tool today so I can use it on my spinal osteoarthritis. Can't wait! I am so grateful to you (and good for me for staying on top of...

    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    @sunkacola I think it might be working on my osteoarthritis in my wrist, but since this is just day one I'm hesitant to say whether it is working for me or not. I sense it might be seeing as I'm typing on my computer at 5 PM, something I would not normally be able to do without pain, so I don't...

    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    @sunkacola My CBD for Life rub arrived today. I applied a small amount to my hands and wrist. I like that I can apply it there without greasiness, etc. Question: Does it work immediately or do I need to wait 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours? Any idea? Second, how many times should I reapply during...

    Yet again cannot sleep

    @Samantha86 hey it's perfectly okay and encouraged to complain or rant or vent here. We even have a special thread for just that. It's an important part of our pain management, mental health and healing to be able to express ourselves and vocalize our feelings with others who can empathize...

    Yet again cannot sleep

    Welcome Samantha. Can you provide some more information? I'm curious as to why you cannot sleep. Is it due to pain? Is it due to anxiety or racing thoughts? Also, can you please tell us what you have already tried for your insomnia? It would be easier to try to help you if we knew what you...

    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    @Nan Already aware of this, but thanks. I'm waiting first to see if CBD for Life Original Rub is effective on my hand/wrist osteoarthritis before deciding whether to purchase a back ointment application tool for CBD and magnesium.

    Recently diagnosed but not new to pain

    I would focus on sleep first, which may help with pain as well. Many fibro sufferers don't get enough deep sleep which can cause all sorts of problems. Rather than post the three classes of medications or supplements than can help with deep sleep, I think it would be best for me to refer you to...

    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    Just wanted to make a general comment about magnesium. If you take magnesium and you find yourself running to the bathroom for fear of an "accident", lower your magnesium dosage. The best way to know if you are taking too much magnesium is that side effect. This counts for all forms of...

    Questioning my ability to judge pain levels

    I will, @sunkacola I'm going to try it on my osteoarthritis on my hand/wrist first, shoulders too, for awhile then, if I get some relief, I'll buy one of those back applicators and try it on my back. :)

    Questioning my ability to judge pain levels

    @sunkacola I just ordered the CBD for Life original rub. I just wanted to check in with you and see if are any tips you can give me or other things that I should know when I first use it once it arrives.

    Face moisturizer that won't cause skin flare ups?

    @NClady hope you love it as much as I do. I looked back and I had gotten it at a marked down price early in December at around $14, but I do see now in my Walmart app that it is 19.95. prices on everything are going up. It's going to be a rough year financially. But I digress. Please let us know...
