Kyle, I take mag for arrhythmia. I also have the tach. Most with fibro are
deficient in magnesium and very often initially present with symptoms that
appear to be a heart attack. It would be interesting to know how many with cp
find themselves diagnosed with fibromyalgia in their 30's and 40's

  Also, I wonder how many of us were victims of mould toxicity. I suspect I am.
Our house is "sick" and we're currently seeking remedy through the legal system
against our insurer. Oh joy.

  Do a search for mould toxicity and compare those symptoms to fibro. Do a
search for internal parasite infestation, and compare to those to fibro. Many
commonalities.

Cheers!
