just thought this would be easier then keep banging on about it.

     IF YOU WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY

I FOUND OUT IS THAT MOST PEOPLE TOLERATE MAGNESIUM MALTE

BUT YOU SHOULD DEFINATLY AVOID MAG CITRATE, AND MAG OXIDE

AS THESE TEND TO HAVE A STRONGER LAXATIVE EFFECT

IF YOU FIND EVEN THE MALATE  IS NOT TOLARATED

TRY APPLYING TOPICALY WITH THE OIL .

YES B12 DOES HELP  I TAKE IT DAILY AND USE A B12 PATCH WEEKLY ,

    Magnesium oil spray rubbed into painful muscles is quite nice.  You have to use it quite generously though but you can get a big bottle for £10 online. 

    B vitamins like Berocca (supermarket own brand versions are much cheaper) helps for energy and fatigue but takes a couple of months of daily use to have an effect.

      i know your preching to the converted , cheaper supermarket brands are often baulked out . i use sublingual vitamins that are very small and thta you put under the tongue dosent have to deal with your stomach acids then.

      i pay £29 for 300mls of magneisum which is a bit dearer than the one i used to buy 500mls for £22 but i found it better . yes it does take a while but iv noticed a big differance in the pain.

    I was given the FM dx in 1999....it's not the worst case, or maybe it's because I take so many supplemenets so many years, 25 yrs soon.

    Fibro can happen from an emotional or physical trauma to the body...mine was emotional, major one...I remember it well all these years later.

    I've been supplementing with Mag and B12 (methylcobalamin is best)...

    Many are deficient in both and BEST to get labs on them or just start taking these supps.

    I take 2000 mcg B12 per day usually and 1500mg Mag Complex or Mag Citrate or Mag Chloride....Malate some times.....I've had a history of constipation so loose bowels are OK with me, I've had bowel blockages over my life so loose is good for me....plus many on pain meds need more mag too.....

    EVERYONE needs Magnesium, Fibro or not...It's even more important for bone health than calcium....many take too much calcium and end up with bone spurs, deposits and stones.....

    Vit D3 and K2 are IMPORTANT too.....many many are deficient in these two.

      It was new to me too when I heard it from one of our holistic MD's speak about the need for K2 with D3 for best absorption of the D. That was about 3 yrs ago so I do take the K2 now with my daily D3....You can find into on line on both these needed together...
