Just wondering if anyone had ever been told this. I have had these horrible chapped lips for about 6 weeks now and called my doctor. Granted this isnt a life treatening problem, but its annoying. I have been using different kinds of chapsticks ALL day long, and have been drinking more water to try and help...but to no avail.
Anyway the nurse called me back and told me to take this riboflavin tablets. I asked her what they were for or what they did and she didnt know. So I went to Vitamin world and asked the guy what it would help with and he said anxiety?! He said it was a nervous system thingy and that it would help with that. So then I get in my car and read the label and it says helps with the digestion of fats, carbs and proteins. And that it also helps with skin and eye problems. Now this makes sense since CFers obv have trouble digesting those things...but would lack of this vitamin cause dry skin and lips. Let me know what you all think. And if anyone has ever taken this...how long till you notice a difference? Are there side effects to takking these pills? And how many should I take...one a day, two a day?? hmmmm...thanks guys!
