MSM in higher...
I've been at this FMS since mid 1999 and on another FM/CFS group for about 8 yrs, but wanted to move to a new group and see how it goes.
My bigger challenge I believe NOW, is advancing OA and cleaning up and managing complications from a hip replacement.....grrrrrrrrrrrr And then there is...
I was going to an endo for over 10 yrs trying to get THYROID supported, I believed it was sluggish but doc always said " you are fine"....then one endo I saw, touched around the thyroid and then pressed other points and said your thyroid is fine, but you have FM. I had never heard the word...
Anyone else here challenged with OA as well. At this point I believe OA is all worse with aging and a mess from hip replacement. I joined today, but not new to an FM/CFS support group.

I did this HCG diet once that limited you to 1,200 calories. I...
