“ I used to be full of health, always active and rarely ill. Then in October 2000 after two weeks of feeling very poorly (stiffness, photophobia, headaches, loss of bodily controls, high temp etc) I was finally diagnosed and admitted to hospital with viral meningitis ……….. My symptoms continued to get worse, and along with depression there were days when I would not get out of bed…… I think the point when I had had enough was when my hands and joints felt like they were failing me. Opening a bottle or a can was sometimes impossible….. A friend recommended a specialist in muscular skeletal chronic pain, who concluded that despite there being no definitive test it was highly likely that I was suffering with Fibromyalgia (FMS). I was instructed to have the York Food test to eliminate any allergies (I was found to have a yeast intolerance)….I also had blood tests to eliminate anything further such as coeliacs disease (a condition I had as a young child)…. I was prescribed Amytriptiline on varying doses, but I was either left exhausted or awake and with little difference to my pain. I think for about 3 years following this, I gave up…. Then my luck changed. I saw an old friend whose parents and brother suffers from ME and/or FMS and they advised I took Vegepa. After looking at it online and discussing it with my Mum, she ordered a month's trial for me. Within a fortnight I felt dramatically more energised, my pain was alleviated and while I still have a poor immune system and pick up bugs left right and centre, my health and outlook is vastly improved…. I am happier than ever and combating this condition full on…. I would recommend Vegepa to anyone and everyone. It is good for a person of good health and brilliant for a person with a condition like mine. FMS is not an easy condition to live with, but life is as good as it can be right now and I have Vegepa to thank. ”

“ I have been taking Vegepa since 26th February 2008 for Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia. I have improved cognition – able to read more and use a computer for longer. My energy levels have also improved –pacing myself has become more difficult as a result and I am trying to balance this at present. Recovery time from shut down is noticeably shorter. ”

“ I have suffered with fibromyalgia for six years forcing me to stop working as a college lecturer and lead a restricted life. About seven months ago, I started therapy with the Combination Approach developed by Norah Wickerson in Derby (see www.tacklingfibro.co.uk) which has resulted in significant steps towards recovery. At the beginning of this year, I began to take the recommended dose for fibromyalgia sufferers of eight Vegepa capules a day with the vitamin supplement. Almost immediately, I noticed a qualitative improvement in my sleeping with a more usual length of period asleep (eight or so hours). I began to actively look forward to going to bed after years of seemingly endless dreaming sleep which had left me, even after ten or eleven hours, feeling unrefreshed and fatigued. The other noticeable change over the last few weeks is a stabilisation of mood. The intense anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed that can accompany fibromyalgia have gone completely. Another improvement that is now becoming apparent after a month of taking Vegepa is a benefit to my blood circulation. Before, my hands and feet were excessively cold and it was noticeable that I was always wearing more layers of clothing than anyone else. This situation is definitely improving. Undoubtedly, I shall be continuing to take my current dosage of Vegepa in the future. ”
