B complex and magnesium: Fibro and others!
I did some research on fibromyalgia after being diagnosed to figure out what would make me feel better. I came across a website (dont remember the link, sorry) that said part of the exhaustion that comes from having fibro is linked to a lot of vitamin deficiencies in the body. it went on to list a bunch of supplements people should take to help with it.
the next time i was at the grocery store, i picked up two of the ones that i could remember: a B complex and Magnesium.
ITS LIKE GOLD!
I started taking it on monday of this week (on top of my generic centrum type vitamin that already has some of the b complex and magnesium) and i have energy i didnt know that i had! I still have some back pain and i still take my muscle relaxant to fall asleep at night, but my MENTAL energy throughout the day is HUGE!!! I also have more physical energy, but i feel sharper, clearer and less like all i want to do is lay around!
i dont know if its the b complex and the magnesium or a combination of that and the fact that i went off my birth control to see if that would help me lose some weight, but i would recommend it to anyone to see if it helps them at all.
let me know if you have had success with it!
(just a warning, if you start taking a b complex vitamin, your pee will turn fluorescent yellow... its completely normal, just really freaky the first time you see it!)
