No kidding. It surprised me, too!
But here it is, at the University of Maryland Medical Center website - a listing of the following herbs and supplements recommended for fibro management:
- 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
- Astragalus
- Gotu Kola
- Magnesium
- Quercetin
- S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe)
- Skullcap
The links will take you to pages on UM’s site that give more information about each. I admit, I’ve tried a lot of supplements in my own treatment searches but I don’t think I’ve ever hit on one that had a measurable impact. Right now, though, I am using Magnesium along with 5-HTP in addition to my daily medication (tramadol). I’d love to find a supplement combination that would allow me to reduce or even eliminate the tramadol usage.
Have you tried supplements? What works for you?
