Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia

Ive been taking this supplement for a while now and it definately helps with my fatigue and concentration. The draw back to it though is that it is pretty expensive. I spend so much money on vitamins, it is unbelieveable

i also take co-q10. I think this is supposed to be a really good supplemet to take, even if you dont have chronic fatigue. I think its supposed to be one of the strongest anti-oxidants available. But yeah, it is kind of expersive

Hi,
I'm new to this blog. recently started taking CoQ 10 via tablets from Vitaline. Vitaline produces tablets (less expensive) and chewable tablets ($$$$). In Oregon our medical school selected Vitaline chewable tablets for a parkinson's efficacy study, due to it's purity. You might wish to check out prices on the Vitaline web site.
Best Wishes!

I too have tried CoQ10. It's in a packet of supplements I purchased on QVC for women over 50. ($50/month) (I'm only 46 but had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and qualify for the over 50 crowd now) It really seems to work, been on them over 3 months now. Just to be sure it's the vitamins w/ CoQ10, I go off them for 3 days and all my old symptoms come back! Tired, cranky, forgetful, achey, unmotivated, lazy, forgetful... It really helps! So glad to have found something that works, hope it continues to work! I also was diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia, but it's non existent on these vitamins as well! Now if I can just find something healthy to take for my rheuynawds!

Hello all.. what a great forum for us unfortunate enough to suffer this horrible condition...I tried 300mg CoQ10 twice a day for 2 months and unfortunately was not helped by it...The only thing that works for me is very large amounts of vitamin C...I have started a thread on this and hope others benefit from it...All the best Rolf--Australia

I have found CoQ10 to be very effective!!! I took it to see if it would help with my energy level but have found it to relieve about 90 % of my pain. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I have quit my inflammatory drugs completely and feel very good.

Hmm, I hope this thread isn't dead. I have had pain for about 10 years. I tried taking coQ-10 off and on for about a year thinking it might help. No luck so far with 100mg a day. I was just told, within the last two weeks, that I have fibromyalgia. How much are you guys taking? The only thing that seems to work for sleep and pain, not mood, has been 50mg of amitriptyline which I was given for migraines (which doesn’t limit or lessen my migraines). As for fatigue, I just drink a pot or two of coffee a day. Some days or weeks, nothing I’ve found can bring me out of my fog. It gets so bad that I can’t even read. I see the words and I can read each word. I just can’t process them all together. Does that sound normal?
