Hi all, I have been doing some reading and came across this research on a reputable site; 

Patients with fibromyalgia show deficiencies in red blood cell (RBC) magnesium and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a small study shows, suggesting potential clues to underpinnings of the condition and avenues for treatment. This paper was presented at the recent 

American pain management annual meeting.

It sounds like we should be seeing an endocrinologist. Has anyone any knowledge about this, or first hand experience? Would love to know more! Have a good weekend everyone?☀️

    Hi Meg how are you? hows things with you? Hope you had a good weekend. hope you are sleeping well and your pain isnt too bad. I have spent 3 days in bed, I had a fall last thursday. dont know why it happened I didnt loose my balance. I had just drawn some curtains was walking towards the kitchen. when my feet wouldnt work I went down. my son was at home so shouted him for help. I was numb all down left side face arm leg and a pain across my chest. I knocked my hand and arm. I felt quiet poorly spent 3 days in bed. Ive got up today but just resting the fall has scared me to be honest. Im hopeing to speak to my regular gp this week. Hope you have a lovely day today meg and a good week. take care hun gentle hugs xxsmile

      Hi Kaz I have been really busy lately so haven't had time to go on the forum. Sorry to hear your sleep is so disrupted, maybe you should talk to your doctor about it, surely medical science can help you? If not what about more natural remedies like valerian, if that is okay by your doctor. Best of luck with it ALL. I may not have time to be on the forum for the next few days as I have family comitments to meet, wish me luck xxxcool
