      P.S. Also did the potassium thing with the steriods. I still take mega doses of potassium and that helps with the muscle and joint pain. Magnesium and calicum help too.

      Kristab: Sounds horrific! Thank God someone finally listened but this is such a horrible disease. I use a product called Samento. You can google it. Last batch I ordered direct from the company in Florida. It helps me with headache, neck ache, brain fog and my eyes. Plus general aches and pains. I put it in water and drink all day. This is my sevret miracle drug. Take care, Cheppie

      Hi Look there are plenty of people going through just the same problems as you. I totally understand your victim description, your friends are here for you. send me a message if you feel alone or not being heard or understood. I have had FMS for 4 years now and my life has fallen apart. I am in a foggy nightmare also and keep hoping I am going to wake up. God Bless you. add me to your friends network if you need to talk.
