I take Niacin for my triglycerides/cholesterol. For FMS I take 5HTP, Melatonin, D Ribose, Vit D, Super B Complex, and Calcium and Magnesium. The 5HTP and Melatonin has really helped me to sleep better. I haven't been real consistent with the DRibose which probably accounts for why I haven't noticed a big difference. I just started the D and B Vits so I haven't noticed any difference yet.

try looking under the Treatments and News and Info sections. You can also do a search of past posts under that category.

My First and Strongest suggestion is to ALWAYS buy your supplements at a Health Food Store...
there are cheaper places to get them {like walmart}... But are you REALLY getting the good stuff then ??

I Take...4000 IUs of Vitamin D3 everyday...this has helped Immensly with my Muscle Pain...

I take Omega Flaxseed oil 3.6.9 Everyday to help with my Cholesterol Issues {YIKES} !!

Takeing a good Vitamin B Complex helps alot with energy levels

Magnesium, Calcium...

I have also heard...but have not yet tried D-Ribose, and grapeseed oil...are also awsome supplements...but so far my little cocktail is working for me...so have not added anything else to the Mix..

Another thing IF you have not tried...that is very Beneficial for you...is Aqua Therapy...I do this 2 hours every other day...and Massage Therapy...I started out every 2 weeks til we got my muscles to RELAX...then went to every 3 weeks...I go now once a month...sometimes sooner if I am a bit to tight...

my Whole program costs me UNDER $150.00 a Month...and ALL my side effects are Good ones...Like No More headaches...I have lost 30 pounds...no More RLS, no more muscle Cramps in my legs...or in the backs of my arms...my skin sensativities are gone...I do still have some tender spots...but not as severe...
I do still get Nerve pain...and my Fatigue Increases Everytime I increase a workout...but to offset that I just allow my house to get Messy...LOL...clean it when I feel up to it...!!

I hope you Find a Good Recipe/Regimin/Combination to Help you with your Daily fight against Pain and Fatigue !!!

I am sittin here feeling pretty good...but have been in this last fight since November last year...Not an easy Fight...but I do Believe I am WINNING !!

I also was so scattered when trying to figure out what supplements to take.
Doctor advised:
ATP-20 for energy
D-Ribose for energy
MSM - for pain

that's all I can remember.

She had a flyer in her office for a supplemenet called Fibro AMJ. There is a daytime and nighttime formula. It has ingredients in it for daytime to help with energy levels and pain management, and night time for relaxing, sleeping, and pain management too.
I have taken it for almost a month. At first I thought it was helping, but wasn't sure if it was all in my head...so I kept taking it...
I stopped taking it a few days - and noticed a difference. Daytime energy was less pain was more and night time was more restless.
SO, this stuff works for me...its NOT A CURE. IT's not even a HUGE difference, but it's enough of a difference for me, so I am continuing to take it.

My post didn't make sense...
I stopped taking Fibro AMJ and my pain levels went up and energy levels went down, and my nights were more restless.
I started taking it again and I do notice a bit more energy.. a bit..not much..but I am thankful for anything..and night time is a little less restless.

Here's my list:

- The D-Ribose helps with having energy, muscle pain and muscle repair
- 5-HTP helps with carb craving, insomnia, depression and nerve type pain. Acts as an anti-depressant so not to be taken with any anti-depressant medications.
- Liquid calcium, magnesium and vitamin D - for my bones, tissue, immune system, pain relief and lowering blood pressure.
- Flax seeds are great for IBS, stabilizing blood sugar levels and I grind them and eat them right away (after 20 mins, they turn into cholesterol and go rancid). Never bake with or heat flax because of this. 2 tsp a day (ground in a coffee mill) is all you need.
- Hemp hearts, I take about a tbsp a day with oatmeal but suggested is about 4. I don't eat oatmeal during the summer, so haven't been having these. It's for appetite suppressing, energy, improved circulation, lowering cholesterol, bp and heart disease. I can't say enough good things about these.
- Omega3 fish oil...for renal function, lowers cholesterol, heart, for 'fibro fog', clearing arteries and general health.
- Kyolic garlic - lowers cholesterol, detox, fatigue, nerve function, heart, etc.
- L-glutamine (once a day, in the morning) this is for leaky gut/IBS.
- Acidophilus/Bifidus - aids in digestion, probiotics, friendly bacteria, for yeast buildup.
- Goji Berries. Anti-oxidant, blood sugar and more. I throw a handful of diced up berries in my oatmeal and used them in my muffins.
- and last, my Melatonin or Ashwagandha for sleep. I take 1 3mg capsule at night about 45 mins before bed.

I was also taking a product called Total Well Being but haven't been able to get this from my local health guy now. I will look to order it soon.

I forgot to add Malic Acid. This is one of the top 5 things for people with fibro to take. It's awesome. I don't have that on my list but will add it soon.

I have heard a lot about 5-HTP. What is it and where can I get it??

I tried the ribose(corvalen) in a powder supplement. It upset my stomach. Should I keep trying it??

5htp can be found in a lot of stores CVS, Walgreens has a time released 200mg by natrol, health food stores,

Thank you

For anyone who has not used 5htp and are thinking about trying it I would recommend trying the 50mg first before the 200mg in case you have allergies or side effects to it.

Be careful with supplements. My doc had to take me off of them except my multivitamin. They made my body worse not better like they are supposed to. I eat an organic whole foods diet now, though.

In Dr. Titalbaum's book, "fatigued to fantastic," he explaines which supplements are best for what, and while you are reading, it allows you to fill out a questionairre toward the end of the book, so by the time you have read the book, you have your very own customized treatment plan. I go one of the F and F centers that he founded. Here goes the list:
1. energy effusion powder
2. b complex
3. corvalem m -d-ribose with magnesium and malic acid
4. msm
5. b12 sublingual
6. glucosamine and condroiton with an herbal blend
7. extra magnesium and potassium
8. vit d and calcium
9.mitomax-an herbal blend for mitochondrial support
10.FE
11. gamma grow -to promote growth hormone production and release
12. rest and restore an herbal blend with melatonin for enhanced sleep
