I'm sure that this has been covered somewhere else, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any supplements that help with the pain. I am open to any suggestions because I am on several different medications form this.
Hi shell
Some supplements interfer with meds have you asked your doctor to recomend any. My rhuemy that treats my lupus is a firm person on doing what works and she has a list of supplements and over the counter meds that can be taken and what it can be taken with.
I haven’t checked with him, but I will definitely do that when I go back and see him. He suggested exercise, but I always have a lot more pain after that and seem confined to the couch or bed.
Thank you, Lovett. I will call my doctor tomorrow and see what he tells me. I have had a Vitamin D deficiency for awhile. I hope that I can take that. Would my pharmacist be able to tell me if any supplements would interfere with the meds that I take?
Hi Shell, I have tried meds that my rhuemy gave me and the side effect were very bad and had to stop them all. I have read and read about FM and supplements and natural meds. After alot of Research I have taken over my care and treatment (did talk with my rhuemy about it she was all for trying it). I feel better than I have in 5 years. My teatment is In the am I take SAMe before I eat breakfast after bfast I take Mag, Potassium, fish oil, Vit D, and 800mg of Ibuprofen at night I take 80mg of Ibuprofen about 2 to 3 hours before bed. I try ( key word try) to do something like walk, work in yard ,short bike ride I can not always do this but I sure do try. I want you to know I still have pain but not like I did befor I can function every day now and I am loving life. You take care you will find what your body needs and God Bless You Daily.
Thank you, I will call my rheumy on Monday, before I start taking any of the supplements!
I was looking into most of supplements you listed. They just took me off of 800mg of Ibuprofen and started me on something called Nabumetone. It's to early for me to really tell if it is helping, but I hope it does I am so tired of being in pain! Thank you for the advice, support, and help. It is truly appreciated.
