I am a fibromyalgia patient and have recently -- while doing my own research -- come accross the info that there might be some problem with the electrolytes (calcium and magnesium) in the muscles that causes muscle disfunction. Magnesium intake is particularly important, and if your sister takes diuretics they will leach her body dry. Ask her doctor about the drug Neurontin, and anti-spasmotic that controls my fibro pain completely. JanK at jak@teleport.com
