Please try to get your friend on this forum. We can help her more that way and she will see that she can have a good life in spite of this illness.
I use vitamin D3 and malic acid/magnesium supplements to help with pain and fatigue. I also take ibuprofen and extra strength Tylenol and walk and swim to help with pain and fatigue. This is how I got control of my pain. I always have pain but I'm in control...not the illness.
You can learn about the vitamins and supplements in Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum.
