Hi I have been diagnosed with fibromalgia about 6 months ago. I have two children with special needs and was a childminder but had to quit it as I found it really painful.
If anyone can give me advice on diet and excercise to ease the pain (which seems to be getting worse as I get older) I would be very grateful. I'm finding it hard to walk as my knees are so sore and my hands are struggling to hold things. I'm feeling old before my time.
I have been given tablets from the doctor but feel sick when I take them that I stopped. I have now tried LTP5 from the health shop and they seemed to work but don't know whether it's the weather or what but pain is here most of the day and I'm losing my temper with the kids for no reason - so please someone out there HELP :'(

I recently was diagnosed with this. The doctor put me on Lyrica (which I could not take), Magnesium 600mg daily and Vit D 15,000 units 2 x's a week for 12 weeks.
I live in constant pain so I do take pain meds but I have found that the magnesium and Vit D is helping me to have more energy and not be so depressed.
Also I started walking the treadmill for 30 minutes every other day....has all of this helped with the pain? No. but it has helped my mental attitude.
Hope this helped....this stuff is crappy stuff!
