Hello. As a new victim (4 weeks) I am interested in all experienced opinions. I can’t walk, have to crawl most of the time and don’t get relief from drugs. I will try the yoghurt & Myoplex, thanks…any other suggestions?

HI All, I am 34 and have had RR now for about 14 months, the symptoms are slowly getting less server.I have most of the regular symptoms also trouble sleeping occational, stomach cramps, constapation and have found it move to different parts of the body– at the moment i am getting the soreness behind the knee’s, last month was sever headaches.Things I have found to help is yogurt, drinking lots of water, eating vegies or taking a good muli vitamin and I use a natural product by Metagenics called Myoplex (for relief of muscular aches and pains,also muscluar and regular tension or stress)It contains magnesium, calcium and passion flower. I hope you all feel beter soon and your not alone.

Just wanted to let you know a naturopath perscribed high doses of calcium and magnesium supplement {4 times rec. dose} . This was very effective against the arthritic symptoms and associated pain. Didn’t seem to assist muscle recovery time from any activity but made things far more bearable!
