Home Remedies

PLEASE FILL FREE TO SHARE ANY HOME REMEDIES THAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU

One of my very best friends is my heating pad :) I sleep with it at night, some nights I cannot fall asleep without it. Warm baths also help a lot to relax your sore muscles. Quinine is a muscle relaxant that is naturally found in tonic water, I mix it with cranberry juice so I dont have to drink it on its own cause Im not a fan. Melatonin is another natural thing you can take, it helps with sleep. Melatonin is what the body naturally produces to help you feel tired and fall asleep but people with fibro, and chronic fatigue produce less of this and that is one of the causes of the sleep/drowsiness. I encourage a good healthy balanced diet with small amounts to no gluten and no artificial sweeteners. Exercise is also very important, but only what you can physically handle. Start slow and work your way up to where you want to be, it is possible!!! I was able to get up to being able to do zumba five days a week and I felt amazing but I did not get there over night it did take a little time. There are a ton of different diets you can try and see if it helps with any of your symptoms. See the educational links portion to find a few links to where you can find diet and exercise info.
