I missed your response earlier. I wanted to also tell you that my daughter found that awesome chair you mentioned at a Brookstone out here. The sales rep said that with a prescription from your doctor, some insurance companies will cover it. Not sure how I'd be able to wangle that, but I'm going to try. That, or I'll buy one from the settlement from my car accident, which is causing my back to degenerate faster. I found a PINK bike. Can you believe it? Now I just need to find the money for it, and a safety helmet. LOL. Oh, and I hadn't considered the guys also bicycling. I was thinking about how my butt would get skinnier from cycling and not hang over the wide seat so much. LOL. I'm pondering those tshirts, I am, I am. <strong>They told me that it was sometimes covered by insurance too. I hope it works for you! A pink bike!!! That's so great! Mine is blue, because I wanted a boy's bike, but I feminized it somewhat with pink streamers and accessories. Plus, I just bought a wicker bike basket for Theo, which makes it a lot more girly. I think I'm going to change the t-shirt logo to "FIBRO SUCKS!" Just going back and reading my WordPress comments. I missed your response earlier.

D! Did I say E???? I am sooooo wrong. D as in David. I take Vitamin D. My apologies for my fibro fog that made me say stupid stuff. But D rhymes with E, ao I guess it's a legitimate error.

I'm so sorry I haven't visited here sooner. So... a few things. First, I get those weird calf pains too. They come on like cramps and sometimes turn into charlie horses. I get them in the middle of my upper back muscles too. Strange. I highly recommend the vitamin E. My rheumatologist told me to take 1,000 IU daily becuase my level was so depleted. I did, and brought my level back up to normal. Has your doctor specifically tested you for vitamin E deficiency? You should ask him to because vitamin E deficiency causes muscle aches. Get rid of that symptom and what you have left is clearly fibro. That's been my experience. I'm still taking it occasionally, but not daily. Oh, and my rheumatologist is one of the top in Seattle, and I think if there were risks involved, like, um death and cancer, she wouldn't have recommended it. Because of being on Weight Watchers, my whole diet has changed. I still, of course, have the fibro, but the flares are somewhat diminished. I can now walk about 2-4 miles a week and guess what? I'm going to buy a really good bike with my insurance settlement! You've inspired me. Also, I eat oatmeal for breakfast, with banana, several times a week. I also eat a lot of apples, lettuce, whole grains, and chicken. My chiropractor also told me to put lemon in my water as the acid is a natural anti-inflammatory. So that helps my back. Um, what else do I have to share? I'm so glad you are starting to get a bit of energy back. That is great news. We are going to beat this thing for sure! <strong>I'll bet your area has some excellent bike riding trails (and, ahem, FYI, there are usually some pretty nice guys riding them)-- I'm so glad you're going to start riding! And congratulations on the WW thing again! I know from reading forward that you were talking about vitamin D, not E. I've stopped the E, but I'll research adding D to my regimen. I still can't believe how much better we're both starting to feel! I think we should have t-shirts printed up. On the front they can say "Positive Changes," and on the back, "Never Give Up!"

I started taking the magnesium and zinc before I began the other stuff, and didn't notice a difference (I bought them though, so I'm taking them!). I'm sure the B-Complex is helping too. Please let me know if it makes a difference for you. I'm really hoping it does. I'd love to know that you had more energy for your boys, and for yourself. I'm so glad you can still ride your bike!

I have been struggling with exhaustion. I have been taking B12 shots and have ruled out all other medical possibilities. The doctor said it is just the fibro (JUST - Ha!). I think it is the combination of fibro and keeping up with two boys. Anything that might give me more energy would be GREAT! Thanks for the post... so glad to see you are back on your bike. We go riding. I can't ever make it as far as my boys, but I enjoy riding too. If you think the Sam-E is giving you lots of energy then I am definitely going to give it a try.

I researched what you've said, and although some of those studies aren't very well done (test groups were old people with pre-existing health conditions), there was one study that showed an increased risk of lung cancer, so I'm going to lay off the E. Again, thanks! Thanks, Anna.
