anyone out there dealing with a close friend who has fibromyalgia/CFIDS? Its diffcult for me to understand everything, I just know I hardly see her anymore, she can hardly do anything at all, can't work etc . I did find an online class that I just started, where I read through a lessons and participate in group discussions, but I wonder if there is anything else I can do. I miss her so much

I was just reading that the deficiency of certain vitamins can cause fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Have her take a really good vitamin supplement after breakfast or lunch. Ask her to eat a good balanced diet also.
Fibromyalgia is a recently recognoized disorder that is a common cause of muscoloskeletal pain and fatigue. The symptons include generalized fatigue, chronic headache and sleep disturbance. Magnesium deficiency within the muscle cell may be a factor in the cdevelopment of FibroM. 300 to 600 mg of Magnesium will help.
Aslo three clinical studies show that SAM helped significantly in patients suffering from fFibroM. Two hundred to 400 mg of SAM twice a day is recommended.
All the vitamins should be eaten with a meal since glucose and amino acid molecules are needed for the transportaion. glucose are the product of carbs and amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

Fibromyalgia is a controversial disease. One that is given to people with vague symptoms that they can't figure out anything else. Some people are skeptical and don't believe it is a true diagnosis. Just call your friend and talk to her. I am a health care worker and my opinion will make people angry, but it is that fibromyalgia is not a real disease, but the person may be having symptoms that are something else, or they are hypochondriacs. I think they should see a therapist. But anyhow, just call your friend and visit her, there is nothing you can do to her, as far as fibromyalgia is concerned.

Just continue to be supportive and let her know you are available anytime she needs you.
