I've been working with an integrative doctor to find the source of my fibromyalgia. We've run a million tests and I've taken a butt load of supplements. No improvement. I'm worn down and at my witt's end. I really thought I'd have found an answer, and while my doctor thinks he'll find it, I've lost all faith. The only concrete diagnosus was low vit d, which has been corrected. Still feel like doo doo. Think I might take a break from the pokes and bookoo bucks I've been spending.

I take CBD for the anxiety. It helps. Didn't really help for pain.
@Alimacbean I'd be willing to wager toking up would.
@nutrition_nerd Thanks for the info. I would never smoke anything, so if I were to go that route, it would be edible.
@nutrition_nerd Let me rephrase..... injest
Oh honey, scientists have been searching for years to find the cause. It's never one thing. They can't find one or even 5 universal causes.
My mom and I have both fibro, EDS, POTS, and MCAD.

And it only took 65 years between both of us for us to even learn what we have.
That's why we're trying to find SOMETHING that could he causing it. It started after a rough delivery. That's the root, but who knows what ultimately did it...
@Alimacbean I think it's just too many factors to count.
