First I didn't think I had fibromyalgia. Then I did think I had fibromyalgia. Now I think my fibromyalgia symptoms are a subset of a chronic Lyme disease problem that I have had for 40 years. Over the years I have tried many different supplements to enhance my overall health, especially my immune system. I'm sure the supplements have helped, but it has been a slowly losing battle as I have aged. Fatigue (mostly gone now), some joint pain, chronic muscle tightness and pain, worse and worse memory problems, more mental confusion, facial paralysis (so far relatively minor, but definitely there), some vision loss, dental problems, skin problems. But now that I know what I am fighting, I am very pleased and very hopeful. I feel like God has finally answered my prayers and showed me what is wrong with my health and even what to do about it.

The one thing that I am most hopeful about is sea buckthorn (tea from leaves, oil from fruit, oil from seeds). I have seen information about sea buckthorn and fibromyalgia, but nothing yet about sea buckthorn and Lyme disease. I have only been trying sea buckthorn for a few days, but with good results so far. Hopefully I will have good news to report after a few weeks.
