I agree. Fibromyalgia pain is very real, although it definitely has an emotional component to it.
Nobody knows for sure what causes Fibromyalgia. However, there are several known triggers. Nutritional deficiences are one. As I said before, taking Magnesium Glycinate with Malic Acid will help to relax painful muscles.
Secondly, lack of good quality sleep is another. During sleep, your muscles rejuvenate. If you are constantly tossing and turning at night and do not get a good night's sleep you will wake up feeling groggy, foggy, and achy. Valerian, a safe herbal supplement, can help reduce mind-clutter and allow you to get a good night's sleep. It also has muscle-relaxing properties in it.
Stress and emotional upset -- or being a "perfectionist" can also worsen symptoms. Stress depletes your body of B-vitamins and Magnesium. So, once again, supplementation is essential.
For lack of energy, I recommend once again Magnesium with Malic acid and also CoEnzyme Q-10. Both are essential for the production of ATP which fuels your muscles.
Good luck. Hope all goes well!
