It's the 3rd day I've swallowed about 1 1/2 teaspoons of virgin coconut oil with water. I've gotten out of the house for the last two evenings with my children. Prior to this, it was two weeks since I left the house to go to the hospital in pain.

I usually have a flare after just getting dressed and going on a dr appointment.

I'm not 100% sure it's the oil but it may just be helping me. Anybody else have any good results with coconut oil? Please share.

Thanks,
Dawn :-)

I take two capsules twice a day. I also have it in a jar that I use to cook with and also rub on my skin. started taking it for constipation. It helps. Not being constipated gives me more energy, so in a sense it gives me energy too. There are a lot of good uses for coconut oil now. I also take vitamin D3 which helps with energy too.

I am glad you are feeling better, no matter what is causing it...

Hugs, Karen...

Anyone else? Would love to hear more on this..skyeblue..what lead you to try this?

I know i have read about healthy oils and fats..my dr wanted me on fish oils to reduce inflammation...i know olive oil is healthy but rarely have it...

Do you think it seems to reduce pain or gives more energy?

I was a few pages back in the forum and somebody else mentioned it. I looked it up online and there are a ton of articles about it helping fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome as well.

I'm still in pain but I am definitely getting an energy boost from something. I suffer terrible fatigue most the time.

I bought a jar of it from the local grocery store for $10. At that price, I thought it was worth a shot. I would like to make a smoothie or something like that but I don't have a blender right now. I swallow a couple small amounts with water- it's a piece of cake considering the mouthful of meds most of us are use to taking. Lol... at least I do.

I'll keep you posted if I continue to have good days. Anybody else had good luck?

Hey sky,

I also had a good experience with coconut oil. When I started taking it I would take 1 tsp. 3x a day, 1 in the morning 1 @ noon and 1 @ night. I try not to go over this cos like I said on my previous posts this stuff is high in saturated fats, but unlike other saturated fats coconut oil has the healthy kind of saturated fats. It contains 3 kinds of healthy fatty acids caprylic, lauric & capric acids which are all great for the body..

It does help with energy. I am very thankful you posted about it before or I would never had tried it.

I got alittle too excited and took too much. I was so nauseous!! I read alot of people do that in the beginning.

I am on my second full day of taking vitamin D3 and Magnesium Malate. I am going slow with these because I don't want anymore nausea. That's worse than pain to me!
