Magnesium is one thing we with fibro have a big shortage of. The 3 daily ones are all with food. She also has me taking Thorne's Adrenal Stress End, which is made of pig adrenals, and that's 2 in the morning before food.<br /><br />if you have a chance to read some of my other recent posts (which i should have added as links to this one!) i explain the fun test that got me on the pig adrenals in the first place. :-)<br /><br />Some energy issues can be in our hormonal imbalance, so i'm also using a progesterone cream twice a day (3 weeks on, 1 off.) Plus i think i just got fed up with nothing changing, so BABY STEPS!<br /><br />i'm still working on getting rid of sugar. i'm pretty much caffeine free now--maybe a cup a week. Those were 2 more things she makes a big point of. <br /><br />Trust me, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! hang in there, eh?juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354144831826180457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29522895.post-20859196992836405072011-05-26T09:37:24.884-07:002011-05-26T09:37:24.884-07:00This is really interesting to me and I can totally...This is really interesting to me and I can totally relate. I haven't had the strength to get into working out yet, but I know it's needed and am just trying to get things under control so I can give it a shot. <br /><br />If you feel like sharing what supplements are helping to support you, I'd love to hear. I take plenty (and I'm not trying to sell any) but it still feels like my body is "missing something". I just feel SO weak.Nancyhttp://NancyRCarter.comnoreply@blogger.com
