Just did a quick search on 'best supplements for fibromyalgia.'  Besides vitamin D, malic acid/magnesium, they listed SAMe, carnitine, CoQ-10, DHEA, 5-HTP, NADH, and d-ribose. 

Just wondering how many here have tried any of these?  Are they worth it, and also, might there be some overlapping?  Thanks.

I do the dhea, and magnesium. And I feel it helps.

I tried co-q 10, it was really expensive and I got hives from it, very weird.

This is something you should discuss with your doctor before you start to take anything.

My doctor has me take vit D supplements because my vit D was low. Some supplements can be dangerous if you don't check with your doc or if you don't actually need them.

Good point, Kaely!

Are you familiar with any of the supplements listed?

I use CoQ10 and have had no problems with it. It's inexpensive at Puritan.com. Always ask your doctor or pharmacist befor trying anything. Some of these things can cause problems. Herbs are a form of medication.

I do perscription D. Tried CoQ10 only difference I felt was my wallet. Tried SAMe felt no different.

I have tried CoQ10. I stayed on it for a year, and felt no real difference. I tried it again recently for four months. Same-same.
