Hello!

I have just suscribed. My name is Lilian, and I live in Uruguay, South America.

A friend of mine has fibromyalgia. Today the doctor told her that she can't take any drugs because of a problem with her liver.

Do any of you know of natural drugs that could be helpful?

I will be checking this site every night and looking at old messages with interesting information. This is quite new for us.

Thank you!
Lilian

Welcome Lilan, accupuncher, hypnotism and and if she can cortsone injections. Meditation, chiropractor, massage, Boy, this isn't easy for your friend. I'm sure you will get a lot more info. But, be careful natural drugs do have some side effects. Make sure they check with there doctor before starting any meds. Good luck and again welcome to our world, Kim

Thank you, Kim and Scooby!

I was just searching the Internet and I came across this MSM stuff... what do you think of it? It really sounds good.

Thank you again,
Lilian

>>Hi Lilian, What is MSM? Memory is another thing that effects us

Hi, Kim. It's "Methylsulfonylmethane" (?)
It's like a nutritional supplement, it seems, and it's good for pain and inflamation, among other things. That's what I've read, and Cynthia says it may be effective.

I'm learning a lot!

Bye, bye,
Lilian

Cynthia, thank you for your comments.

My friend (Graciela) became quiet desperate when the doctor told her she can't take regular drugs. I'll tell her about MSM; maybe the doctor will be able to tell whether it will affect her liver or not. I hope not. I also got her St. John from Brazil. If you know of any other natural things she can take, let me know.

Thank you!
Lilian
