Amino Acids

Hello good people

Just wondering about 'health regimes'....Am pretty much up to speed on all the 'fixes' currently out there, low carb/keto/grain free/dairy free/nightshade free/lots of oily fish/vegan/brown rice, the whole shebang.. Tried them all, with very limited success. Have probably read too many books now (but that's what you do when you are desperate), but my daughter has flagged up a book she has been reading about lack of sleep and the connection to FMS and the role, amino acids could play. Hate to say it as a 'glass half full kind of gal' I'm not entirely sure I can read another book/article... I just can't concentrate enough...Any thoughts??

      Hiya, thanks for that. Just wondering what meds you take? The only things I have been prescribed are Amitriptyline for FMS which gave me nightmares and Naproxen for arthritis, which makes no difference at all. Hope you don't mind me asking?

      I take Targin 10/5mg one morning and one at night and at night also to settle my legs that ache real bad take 25mg of Endep I'm on 8mg of pred I'm having a lot of trouble going to 7.5mg. for my arthritis in my hands I take Ibuprofen 200mg one during the day this helps me get up and do things. A lot of people on this site is against using these drugs cause they are addictive I don't care I've been sick with a lot of set backs I am not one to sit around Sarah hope this helps.
