Answer
Hi - we have seen some amazing testimonials when folks with fibromyalgia with Shaklee supplements.   I have an article on fibromyalgia that if you would like to contact me at my personal email at suzanne@empoweringserenity.com I can send to you.   

The program I would suggest for you would be to first do a detox program and then build up a nutritional supplement program.  When you work with nutritional supplements you are rebuilding at the cellular level so it is not a 'quick fix' that medication does.  Sometimes meds mask the problem - in other words they don't 'cure' but alleviate symptoms.  

Here are the supplements I would suggest:  

Detox with

Liver DTX
Herb Lax
Optiflora
plenty of pure water

after a week you can begin to introduce supplements:

Vitalizer (which is a base program of essential nutrients the body needs)
Vivix
Energizing soy protein or Cinch protein

This is a basic program - you can continue on the detox nutrients and use up and you may want to detox every 3 to 4 months.

You also want to look at what you are eating, what toxins are in your home, your exercise, stress levels, etc.  

Folks usually begin to see some results 4-6 weeks but every body is different and when you detox you may have some detoxing symptoms while the toxins in your body are being removed.  

If you would like to learn about these supplements and you can also purchase them at http://integrativewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/ and you can contact me at suzanne@empoweringserenity.com  

Every person is different but the body responds to getting nutrition at the cell level.  I would be happy to work with you and work to help you get to better health.   Take care and hope to hear from you soon.  Suzanne
