Sounds like you may be anemic or something try taking vitamins for women
And soaking in a hot bath with epsom salts helps too.

These are some vitamins and minerals that may help

* Magnesium (300 - 1,000 mg per day) may help reduce fatigue, but studies show mixed results. Too much magnesium causes diarrhea. To correct this problem, gradually reduce the amount you were taking. It is sometimes combined with malic acid (600 mg twice per day) to boost energy.
* Essential fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil (1,000 mg 3 times per day with meals) and evening primrose oil (3,000 - 6,000 mg per day) may also help reduce fatigue.
* NADH, a naturally occurring chemical involved in energy production in the body (5 - 20 mg per day).
* Coenzyme Q10, which helps cells function and produce energy (60 - 100 mg per day).
* DHEA, a hormone produced by the body that may improve energy levels (50 - 200 mg per day). DHEA is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen. It is truly a hormone rather than a supplement, and should never be taken without a doctor's prescription. Do not use DHEA if you have or are at risk for breast cancer, prostate cancer, or any other hormonally influenced illness.
* Vitamin B12 (2,500 - 5,000 mcg by injection every two or three days for several weeks) has been shown to improve energy. Oral supplements, however, do not work as well because the body cannot absorb that much vitamin B12.
* Beta-carotene (50,000 IU per day) to strengthen immune function.
* Vitamin C (250- 500 mg two times per day) to increase endurance and immune function. Many alternative health care providers recommend higher doses. Talk to your health care provider to determine the proper dose for you.
* B-complex (50- 100 mg per day or 2 ml by injection one to two times per week) with additional B6 (100 mg per day) and B5 (100 - 250 mg per day) to reduce the effects of stress.
* Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5(250 mg twice per day).
* L-carnitine (500 - 1,000mg 3 times per day for 8 weeks) to support energy production in the cells.


Hylaronic acid might help your bones not ache. You can get it cheap at wal mart in the vitamin section

I have the same problems for about the last 6 months. I'm 42 and beginning to fear that it is fibromyalgia. I found some relief from the aches with nattokinase, a natural blood thinning enzyme. I still feel terrible compared to last year. Please list if you try anything that helps. I've also been told that it could be Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency or MS but these are all hard to diagnose and I am one of the working class without health coverage so I would appreciate comparing notes with you.

Congratz, it sounds like you have anemia, an iron deficancy in you blood. Don't feel to bad though, I'm only 16, been dealing with it my whole life. Most women get it at some time. Take a vitaman with extra iron in it. Keep us posted

[mlbiscuit]

I added iron and magnesium to my supplements and things are starting to turn around. Thank you. I also have stopped Depo shots. I' m wondering if the hormones could be a common denominator for other women suffering?

[N0help4u]

Yes hormone shots will cause some of these symptoms.
Magnesium is good but not with some medications.
Iron is not good to take on a regular basis and some forms aren't very good on your system.

The enzymes are important.
