ive been told of a few people about benefits of aloe Vera gel above 95% pure, recently someone with fibro had contacted me on a different site to say that they had been using aloe gel for 6 weeks and although they were still ill the joint aches and pains were minimal and had found that her bad days had also been a lot less.
I no people will try to sell products by claiming all sorts and yes I am clutching at straws in hope but I have done a lot of research and as of yet not found anything negative but as there doesn't seem to be much awareness of fibro, m.e and chronic pain syndrome (what I personally suffer from) there isn't much in the way of wither it will benefit me or anyone else in my position.
just wondering if anyone else has tried it ?
I've asked my doctor she seems to think there will be no downside in trying it but also is clueless about my health issues she has thow took steps to read up about it which I appreciate .
any info will be great its not cheap for the nearly pure gel so really want to look into it
I personally have not used aloe vera, or read about anyone who has done. Maybe there will be someone on here who has more info. I will say, if Doc has okayed it you might think it worth a try. It is good to hear your Doc is doing her research too.
Hi thanks it a aloe vera gel your supposed to drink 3oz a day my doc hasnt told me to do it just said it would do no harm can only either do nothing or benifit me, i think im going to give it a try il try anything to feel a little better.
Thanks take care xx
hi zoe. aloe vera has a few uses. the ones i know of are the gel for the skin like if you have a cut , or burn it is great for that. As far as the juice i have read that it is also very therapeutic. careful not to take too much or you can get the runs. check with your doctor of course. all the best
Thanks a lot im willing to try anything to just feel ok i cant understamd how so many people have this but there is little nown about it really, i get annoyed with it all.
Thanks for the info
I am with you on that thought, many people have it, but little known really. My thoughts are, as it is so difficult to diagnose is one reason. Also it wasn't recognised for a long time. A lot of it is to do with how brain interprets signals from nerves, and something has gone wrong, and there is no test at the moment which can show this. Or why this has happened. There are lots of people on here who are managing well with a variety of treatments, so hope you can learn from them. Good luck
I have found it easier since I became a member I was very lost I think didn't have anyone who new how I felt or they new but it was referred to as being tired or lazy, I recently heard the uk nhs spends more on male baldness then on fibro this infuriates me until my partner pointed out we probably have plenty of bald mp's maybe no with this if they had fibro then more would be getting done as they would no how awful it can be :( ive had this they think since I was in my teens but was diagnosed with almost everything else for many years it was only nearly 2 years ago at the age of 26 that I was diagnosed with m.e fibro and chronic pain syndrome my doctor had no clue as to how it affected me or what it was but she has been great.
