Fibro Pain Management Tips:

The absolute best anti-inflammatory and healing supplement I've personally tried is called Zyflamend. It's put out by a company named New Chapter.

I noticed a reduction in pain within 24 hours with Zyflamend. amazon.com sells Zyflamend and there are also numerous online companies that carry it. You can find Zyflamend and the pm version to help with better sleep at most good health food stores too.

Additional Helpful Remedies for Fibro Pain:
Raindrop Technique with Essential Oils
Mangosteen Juice - a terrific anti-inflammatory
Rule out potential drug interactions
Organic, raw kombucha
Natural, non-addictive homeopathic and herbal sedatives
MSM - I take 2,000 miligrams a day with 1,000 ester-c when pain flares
Salmon Oil Gelcaps - another excellent anti-inflammatory
Good massage, from a person trained on fibro trigger points
Reiki or other kinds of alternative healing
Inner child healing work More on Inner Child Healing
Are you co-dependent?
Reflexology - amazingly effective for all types of pain
Colloidial Minerals, both taken internally and applied to muscles topically.
Magnesium - Too much magnesium is as harmful as too little. I rarely exceed dosage instructions.
Balancing the ph levels - One way to balance ph levels is to eat more alkaline-rich foods. Another is by drinking alakaline water or using an additive like body alkalizer, that turns water alkaline. Maintaining an alkaline ph is vital for good health, period, not just for fibro. more information on balancing ph levels

Other anti-inflammatories I have used: Turmeric, Traumeel, Aleve. (NSAIDS are a last resort and I would never take them longterm.)

Natural sleep aids I have used that have helped with fibro pain sometimes: Formula 303, Nelson's Sleep Aid, Calms Forte, Natural Calm Magnesium.
