I take all but the biotin and folic acid plus others and it helps.

I think it all looks good...you may want to up your D a bit more if yours is on the low side.

I don't think anyone here is qualified to make this call. Have you discussed the supplements with your doctor?

I don't know if you take any other meds, but if you do, it's really critical that you discuss them with your doctor so that they know what you're taking.

I added mine one at a time over 18 years. I wish I'd written more down but after all this time, I pretty much know how well certain things work. I drop some here and there. If I notice, I'll restart.

I take much of what you list. I didn't notice any change from the biotin and my multi-vitamin has D and Folic Acid. I just had my D checked and I'll find out soon enough but I live where we get over 300 days of full sun per year so I get a lot naturally.

I've learned never to run out of boswellia, guafenesin, CoQ-10, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, Choline, Malic Acid and Calcium.

Thanks, guys....Peace, point taken....I'm about to switch PCPs, as mine refuses to even check bloodwork for deficiencies....but I will run this past the rheumy...

Will check on the boswellia and more Vit D as well....I'm just trying to find something to help this fatigue....

HUGS to all from down south :)

I started taking Dr. Teitelbaum's B Complex and so far it seems to be helping.

SOUNDS GOOD BUT YOU NEED CALCIUM AT 600 MG, TWICE A DAY. ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE AT NIGHT, OTHERWISE THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY. SOUNDS GOOD THOUGH. LET US KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

i started taking corvalen. it seems to give me a little more spirit. hard to tell. i don't know what boswellia is? will ask uduki. i take the rest of what you do plus more vitamin d once a week and now reclast for thinning bones.

I just seen an endocrinologist Tuesday and she told me for the minimum I should be taking 1000mg og Vit D-3 a day and also calcium with vit D a day both of them. She said people with fibro have Vit D deficiency and that it will cause our wrist to hurt and it will cause pain at the end of the nerves. I takes a couple of months to see any effects but she said it will help, but you have to be careful cause you can overdose on vit D.. Good luck keep us posted on how you feel...Wy.
