Don't have anything like fibro yet and I plan on doing whatever I can to avoid developing it. I have so much nerve damage I am afraid that things will get worse fast if I don't start taking action and get out of my depressed and anxious funk.
I'm actually going to massage therapy tomorrow. I am lucky to have a father that is willing to support me financially as long as he is contributing to things that will help me get better. Yeah I have been so active my whole life-dancing, playing basketball, working out religiously-that it is quite devastating to have so much going on and not feel like I can simply enjoy things the way I used to just a few years ago. But I brought it on myself and now I am paying for it. It doesn't help that I am bipolar. I think being physical and going out and partying whenever I felt like it along with Zoloft helped manage up my depression and anxiety for years.
I do think I already notice a difference since starting Boswellia just a few days ago. Though I think the real benefits start becoming noticeable after a few weeks of taking it.
As far as it improving my mood, I swear I think I noticed a difference right off the bat. It has a sort of calming and uplifting effect at the same time. I think it is relieving the headache I think I have been experiencing due to weening off Zyprexa. I'm still on Depakote and Zoloft.
