Fibro/Chronic Fatigue Friends

Hmmm...the over-achieving thing...probably true. Although I think that it's a fact that more women have FM/CFS than men. Could it be that it's because we are the primary caregivers, etc.?

As far as the vitamins/etc...yes, it does take a long time for you to be able to tell a difference. I tend to feel better when I'm eating healthier, but it's another thing that takes time for you to notice. We have so much icky stuff inside us that it takes a long time to rid our systems of it. But once you do, you feel so great!

Gee...I REALLY need to do another juice fast...

Yeah, maybe I'll give the magnesium with malic acid a try and give it a chance to work. I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I try to make as much of my food from scratch. I like to know exactly what I'm putting in my body.

Funny that you started this thread now, Laura. As we just had our first real cold front of the season last week, my fibro symptoms made an uninvited return this past weekend. Now they should come and go for the rest of the fall and into the winter and early spring.

I would be interested in knowing more about the guiafenesin. I take it, but only for about five days out of the month. My dh and I are trying to get pregnant and
