Vitamin C taken in large quantities can relieve muscle pain and fatigue symptoms of CFS. 10 grams of Ascorbic Acid powder 3 times a day and have found this to be sufficient and on bad days when you may experience aggravated symptoms, you may need to take 10grams every 30mins for up to 3 hours before feeling relief (please check with your physician before doing this). 1 gram of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid powder) = 1000mg.
