I have Fibromyalgia for 20 years. I am now 60. I have severe muscle pain and have not found anything that helps. There are times that I am unable to walk more then a few feet even in my own house. Has anyone found a medication that helps without making you into a zombie???

Hi emily9a: I sent you the following PM about a week ago, not sure if you got it, so here it is:

I got your email notice from Health Castle today and am sorry to hear that you suffer with fibromyalgia. I do not have that health issue myself but I want to recommend XanGo mangosteen juice to you. This all natural juice packed with xanthones has helped me with other health issues by just drinking 3 ounces a day. I have been drinking the juice since July of 2006 and have been a distributor for about the same time because the juice works so well. My website is www.myxango.com/teamjoyce. We recommend a 90-day juice trial. One case of juice (4 bottles) will last you for about a month. The best I can tell you is give it a try. Below is a testimonial from someone who has had help with fibromyalgia and you can go to www.mangosteenstories.org, scroll down a bit, and do a search for fibromyalgia and see what you find. I copied this testimonial from there. It was just 1 of several on the subject:
_____
I am 39 years old. I have been married to my husband for 9 years and have 4 children, ages 4, 5, 6 and 12. My mom, Ina, introduced me to mangosteen juice in December 2002. She told me Dr. Templeman suggests to drink mangosteen juice for her fibromyalgia, neuropathy, arthritis and for energy.

In January, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I started drinking mangosteen juice and have not had anymore pain medicine because the inflammation in my chest wall has gone away.

I, also, have plantar faschiatis in the arches of my feet. I went to a physical therapist for six weeks and received no relief. The pain has disappeared after 1 month of drinking mangosteen juice.

I drink 1 oz. In the morning and 1 oz. In the afternoon and have been feeling great since February 10, 2003. Mangosteen juice has brought my energy level back up to normal. I can now clean my house, do laundry, and manage 4 children (and a husband) again, which makes my family and me very happy.

Again, I do not have fibromyalgia but since others have had good results on the juice, I thought I would pass this information on. It's an all natural juice with no known side effects unless of course you are allergic to fruit juice. Let me know if I can be of further help.

My best to you.

Hi. I can certainly empathize with you. It is such a hard condition to diagnose and treat. I would like to suggest you a site called http://www.fibromyalgiacured.com/ where you can learn about a five step plan that eliminates fatigue and soothes your muscle pain.
Hope this will work out for you.
Take care, Bye!

Fibromyalgia is a painful disease that is very hard to treat. My mum used this product called myphield to soothe her aching muscle and get pain relief. Here is a link to their site http://www.myphield.com/. maybe it can help you.

The pain of fibromyalgia has no boundaries. People describe the pain as deep muscular aching, throbbing, shooting, and stabbing. Intense burning may also be present. Quite often, the pain and stiffness are worse in the morning and you may hurt more in muscle groups that are used repetitively.
