because quite honesty I kept expecting that this would suddenly stop working like everything else that I've tried for Fibro.

I started taking 5-HTP (100 mg once a day) on October 18th after digging up an old article that made a lot of sense to me (http://dailystrength.org/c/Fibromyalgia/forum/2330084-article-dr-murphree)
I've been essentially pain free since then. For two weeks now. Two whole weeks! I'm so excited! I went out and was able to get a job! I feel better than I have in I don't know how long. I still have a problem with fatigue and  all the other lovely fun stuff that that comes along with Fibro, but adding in Melatonin at night to help sleep and B-12 & D-Ribose in the morning for some extra energy.

I'm really starting to think something about Fibro saps out different nutrients in each of our bodies and maybe that's why we each get different results when we add different vitamins. I think it's a bit like slapping a bandage on a gaping wound and just masking the symptoms but whatever helps right!

Guess I just wanted to really encourage people to try it. I got mine at GNC, $25 for 120 pills, Nature's purest brand. Make sure to read the warming labels though!

Oh my hips how they ache like never before and pain shoots down my legs. This I get rarely and never quite like this before! I do not know how to ease the pain, I am writhing in agony on the  bed.
