Hi everyone, nice to meet you. New here..on forum with migraine issues, but wanted to let yÓu all know that my fibro has been doing great for 7 yrs now. I take milk thistle, herbal available at walmart, three times a day and pau'd'arco tablets/pills (the tea is gross), from an online herbal source, three times a day. With stress/fatigue control of not letting myself worry too much, saying no sometimes and taking better care of myself in general-i have reversed I would say about 90% and have very little "fibro" pain/fog,etc.... My. Migraines have been an issue lately but I think that's just genetics at this point, I hope not though-they suck! Try the herbals for the fibro, you may have a mild increase in pain the first 2 weeks after that you should notice more good days and less bad days!! Wish you all luck!

Hi wicked and welcome to our fibro family, I am glad that you have found something that works for you. It is amazing how we all react differently to meds and supplements. I do a mixture of both to control mine. I am sorry you are having migraines, I am lucky as far as that I very seldom even get a headache. I really am glad that you found us and always feel free to ask questions, vent when you need to or offer support to others when you can.

I am so happy that the herbals have worked for you. That isn't the route that I have chosen, though I do take a lot of supplements. But I am glad that you have found relief. I hope you find relief for the migraines as well.

Take care, and keep posting.

Hugs, Karen

I also take Milk Thistle from WalMart, they are 1,000 (I think)mgs. M.T. is good for the liver which is why I take it.

Welcome to the forum and I am glad that you found something that works for you!!

Hi Michele, I also believe it's a 1000 mg...not sure- I put it in a pill box for monthly use...it's a standard dose though. Hang in there and gentle hugs back! Amy jo -thanks to pittsburgh for the help!

Can you take Milk Thistle with other regular perscriptions and are there any side effects. I take Lyrica and Cymbalta.

Hi Lese, you may take them with other prescriptions-if unsure ask yÔur pharmacist, as well. I've not heard of any problem with these herbals. Also, the first 2 weeks may increase your pain a little, but it passes and then you start better days! I didn't have side effects other than softer bowels, could have been a thing of it's own though. Wish you the best! Amy
