    Has anyone has success with magnesium oil for pain?

    I've ordered a magnesium oil spray that I want to try out for pain relief. I read some posts about people who have used magnesium oil with success for RLS, but frankly there were too many posts and comments for me to go through scanning for relief from pain from FMS. I'd love to hear from...

    Intermittent fasting - positive results??

    @SBee I noticed the same thing when I began my keto/low carb diet at the beginning of 2024. What a difference!

    You are all Superheroes

    Thank you so much @sunkacola ! 😊 You are a superhero too. In fact, you are one of my own personal superheroes. I don't know how you do all that you do here in this forum, but I am and will forever be grateful for your superpower that has changed my life. Thank you! 🙏❤️

    Pain meds and fibromyalgia

    @Drummer76 I'm wondering if the injection(s) have started working for you. Despite my thinking and my doctors input about injections, I'm trying to be open-minded. I have an order from my arthritis and rheumatology doc for some imaging of my back and hands. I have not been able to schedule the...

    Questioning my ability to judge pain levels

    It is a strange sort of life to live with fibromyalgia. Seems like no matter how many times I remind a neighbor, say, of my pain (not whining, just comes up in conversation as relevant to whatever we're talking about), invariably the next time I see that neighbor no one EVER asks me how I am...

    Turmeric dosage?

    Thanks, @sunkacola I will indeed let y'all know how it works (or doesn't) for me. I bought a trusted brand, but it says three 1000mg capsules 3x a day. That sounds like overkill (a lot of turmeric!), but some of the reviewers said it helped them at 1000mg, so I am going to start there. After...

    Turmeric dosage?

    Good afternoon! I am adding turmeric with black pepper extract to my daily supplements. This question is for those who take turmeric for fibromyalgia. What dosage have you found to be most effective? How effective have you found it to be for your symptoms? If it is effective for you, how...

    Psilocybin Microdosing Research?

    @SBee Trust me, I won't! LOL Earlier this week I joined the National Fibromyalgia Association, which is a legitimate and well respected organization. Not sure if I have the name exactly right but I signed up for their newsletter. At the same time I also joined several Facebook groups...

    Psilocybin Microdosing Research?

    @sunkacola Thank you for your response and valuable feedback. I am extremely sensitive to street drugs so to speak, and would be very hesitant to try something like this. If I ever should try it in the future, if it becomes legal and I consult with my doctor about it, your advice to have...

    Psilocybin Microdosing Research?

    Anyone hear of any new research being done in the US for psilocybin microdosing for fibromyalgia? I have been referred by people in other groups to various sites, typically somewhere on Instagram and a "company" called Psilomedix, with whom I had a chat. Very shady, likely illegal (don't think...

    I'm going to do something I never do.....

    @sunkacola Your "friend" did not respect your boundaries. Your "friend" hurt you. Your "friend" did not listen; chose not to hear you. Your "friend" sounds selfish and narcissistic. You are better off without toxic people in your life. I totally get the not having many friends, but the tradeoff...

    Intermittent fasting - positive results??

    @SBee oh very good point. I had not even considered how extra body weight would contribute to pain. I have always been within my optimum weight range for my height and frame so it never crossed my mind. Let us know how it goes. You got my support. And I do remember how tough it was when I did...

    Intermittent fasting - positive results??

    @SBee I did try intermittent fasting a few years ago, but found that it had zero effect upon my pain. Doesn't mean it won't help someone else. But I wanted to share my own experience with you. @sunkacola I agree with you and I think that the majority of those who suffer from fibromyalgia do not...

    Pain meds and fibromyalgia

    I feel for you. I am fortunate enough that the pain medication I am prescribed works wonderfully, but it is as the previous poster said, just one of the many different things that I take or do to manage my pain. I won't take injections and my pain management doctor has even told me that they...

    Need help describing pain

    I've been using an app called Manage My Pain to keep a pain diary daily. One of the prompts lists descriptions of pain from which you select what is applicable for you that day. It has 20 pain descriptors loaded and allows you to add your own descriptors as well. I just started using it, but I...

    "Toxic: Heal Your Body"

    Could you please summarize in your own words what your post is essentially saying with regard to this doctor helping patients with chronic fatigue? Your post is a bit too technical and complex for me to comprehend. Thank you.😁
