I'm not really clear on when my fibro started, but as far back as I can remember I have been trying to control my life. Avoiding activities that could get me hurt, controling my movements so as not...
Aloe vera juice will help some people with nausea. Mine's pretty persistent, so it didn't help me a whole ton. Just mix it with some juice to make it taste better. You can get it in most health food...
I don't have restless leg syndrome, but today in yoga we did a pose which the teacher said would help RLS. You lie on your back and pull your right leg up to your chest and roll it around in your hip...
I have one of the ones that is high on the top and bottom and scooped down in the middle. I really like it, but only because it's soft. I've also slept on a hard one that does nothing but bad things...
