Source Naturals Fibro-Response Bio-Aligned Malic Acid & MSM,90 Tablets

I'm on day five of taking Fibro Response and so far, it's really been helping. I've had more energy and less pain. About day two I started to notice that shooting fibro pain start to diminish. On the third day, I had one spell of fibro pain in my left leg that lasted about 30 minutes and then disappeared. It was nothing if a reminder of how my entire body felt three days before. I have been feeling better and better with everyday that I take this. I will give more updates as more time goes by, but I am feeling really positive about it. Lyrica barely helped me and gave me serious side effects like stomach cramping.To address some of the concerns and complaints that others had mentioned:One person talked about the pill burning when they had a bowel movement. I haven't had this side effect but it does burn when I urinate. HOWEVER, I will note, that I have recently had urinary tract problems (infection, stones, etc...) and that I think the burning from the Fibro Response is definitely because of preexisting damage from urinary tract issues. So, if I were you, I wouldn't not try this product out of fear of it burning during a bowel movement or urinating. If anything, this tells me that the person complaining of the pain during a bowel movement might need to get that checked out to see if there's anything else going on. Also, I will note, that the burning isn't anything major. It's not something that affects my quality of life as it has just happens when I urinate. I assume that as my urinary tract heals from the recent damage, that the burning will reside.There have also been several concerns addressed about the size and bad taste of the pills. Yes, they are big...but it isn't something that will deter me from getting relief. If you are seriously in pain from fibromyalgia, please don't give up just because the pills are hard to swallow. I cut them into three segments and that made it much easier. I take them with cranberry juice or just tap water without ice and that seems to help because I like cranberry juice. I don't like just plain tap water without ice, BUT I did find it easier to swallow the pills that way than with ice water. Also, don't psyche yourself out about all of the reviews about how hard they are to swallow. Cut them into manageable pieces and don't worry about swallowing them. If you're worried about it, it's going to be harder for you to swallow them. Just don't think about it and take the manageable pieces like you would any pill. The first few days it was really hard to swallow...but once I stopped worrying about it and just did it without thinking about it, the process went just fine. It's a bit daunting to take three big horse pills every morning, but it's not something that should steer you away from finding relief.As for the taste, I have taken pills that tasted MUCH worse. These pills have somewhat of a salty and mustardy taste to them, but it's nothing that made me gag or cringe. The pills I've taken for heartburn taste wayyyyyyy worse than these pills. I also wouldn't let the taste scare you away from them.In summation:The burning during urination doesn't affect my quality of life.The task of swallowing huge horse pills doesn't affect my quality of life.The taste of the pills doesn't affect my quality of life.However, fibromyalgia DOES affect my quality of life, and since I've been taking Fibro Response my quality of life is 90% better!!!Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend!!!UPDATE (9/17/2013):The burning during urination stopped about week two of taking the product and has not returned. So, I think that theroblem was unrelated to the product...and possibly that...the product helped to correct the problem.Also, I have discovered that it's actually easier to take the pills, whole, with an ample drink of water. It actually hurts less and goes down easier when the pills are not cut into segments. I am a petite woman and if I can swallow the pills whole, anyone can. They don't scratch your throat when they are left whole and it's actually no more difficult than swallowing an average sized bite of food. Just don't let the reviews psych you out about swallowing the pills the way I let them psych me out. Just make sure you take a big drink of water with each pill and you will be just fine.I hope this review is helpful.

This has been a godsend. Everyone out there that has fibro knows the pain can be excruciating. Mine gets so bad that I cannot walk. I ended up with this after a bad automobile accident 3 1/2 years ago and I have been on some awful medications. Lyrica, horrible side affects, I was putting things in odd places (freezer things in bathroom closet, etc. etc., leaving gas burners on the stove, left car running in garage and not even remembering that I had even been in these places!! It helped the fibro, just became a little dangerous because of memory issues/forgetfulness. Cymbalta, EVIL side effects for me, halluecentations, etc. scary stuff. I could go down the list of about 10 or more, but those were probably the worst of the worst. I finally went back to Gabapentin. I was originally on 900 mg's which didn't seem to help. I was then bumped up to 1500 mgs and still having difficulty managing it even at that level. I have been to neurologists, etc. and there is nothing else they can do other than what has been tried thus far. I have pain meds in my aresenol but I hate taking them. Vicodin, Percocet & Flexirol. I have a hard time tolerating them, but when you can't walk, sleep, lay in bed, or even hurt when a breeze blows through the house sometimes you have to resort to those. We all know what it's like and it's hard to describe to others. For me it feels like someone is taking a jagged knife into my muscles while beating me with a baseball bat and setting my muscles on fire and then electricuting me. Sounds like an exageration to most, but that really seems to describe it to me to a "T". So now you have a slight idea about where I am coming from. I wanted to give this some time before I gave it a review because we all also know that sometimes things work and sometime things don't or they do for a while and then it seems like they don't...I am on my 2nd bottle and am in complete shock at what this has done for me. I am sign up as a 'subscriber' for my shippments. I take 2 in the morning and 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I have gone from 1500 mgs of my Gabapenting down to 600 which is amazing!! Have I had flare-ups yet, of course, but not as frequent. So do I recommend this, absolutley!! And the big thing is NO side effects!!!! Good luck everyone in finding your relief.
