Hello all, and thank you for being so helpful with everbodies questions wink

I've been using coq10 and curcummin for about a month and have noticed, for the first time in 30 years, some relief in my upper back pain. Does anybody have an idea as to which one of these meds are helping, or is it both of them?

My sister has fybro worse than me and because so, she lost her job and then her house and can't work now!

What are the basic and inexpensive supplements that she should be on to give her some relief so that she can get back to work hopefully. I'd say starting with her back pain would be the first priority.

Thank you, Dan

Probably the curcummin. It's an anti-inflammatory I believe.
CoQ10 is for your heart.
Tell her to try fish oil and joint juice.

I would also add Vitamin D and magnesium.

Magnesium is a life saver for me.
I also had GREAT results from MSM (sulphur) unfortunately, it decided to start messing with my asthma so I had to come off it.

I've also used Ginkgo for years, and I feel worse when I come off it. I use Valerian to help me stay asleep, but that takes a while to start working.

I've just started Cinnamon as it’s meant to be a good anti-inflammatory… I can’t say too much about the pain difference (coming off the MSM has made me feel terrible) but it HAS cleared up a candida infection in my stomach, which was an unexpected benefit.

I used Curamin that has curcumin in it along with three other pain relievers. 

 

I take CoQ10 also.  That's great for your heart.

 

I use malic acid/magnesium supplements and vitamin D3 supplements to help with pain and fatigue.  There is info about these in Fibro 101.

I take a good multivitamin and most of my supplements are liquid. I heard the liquid works better than the capsules and tablets for our compromised immune systems.

A multivitamin is good for keeping one's immune system strong so you're less likely to get a virus. It seems to work for me. Getting a cold makes fibro feel so much worse.
