Hello fibro family:

I am wondering if anyone else with firbro goes through stages of eating sugar alot sweets, choc, peanut butter, andything i can get sugar from. I usually do this around the time of the month, but i have had that already and the sugar cravings have lasted well over 3 weeks, i have nerver done this before. Could this be a problem with my blood sugar? If anyone has an answer i would appreciate a response!! I just feel so stessed and zapped out and have so much t do this week to get ready for christmas and i am running on empty with energy? So any advice would be great! Thanks for listening!!

God Bless

Yep!  I'm diabetic too!  shakehead   If I eat candy...especially chocolate...I crave it all the more.  If I can stay away from it, the cravings go away...well, nearly away.  It's really very difficult this time of year.  Sugar is all around us and even dancing in our heads!  tongue

Thank you so much sherring for doing that i am a dummy when it comes to computer now the fibro fog has taken away my ability to get the things i want to say out of head.................

Marty Norivault: Thank you to for your post and i take suboxone for pain medication addiction, but i have been on this med for 7 months and it has never been this bad with the sugar cravings. I will ask someone about the meds, but everything i am on i have been on over a year!!! Thanks so much for your advice!! Is it ok to drink no sugar added juice drinks or should i stay away from that?  God bless!

Noirvault you did not take up my post i am glad to hear from someone who knows what addiction feels like!! I am dealing with addiction, firbro, severe depression, tmj, numbness, etc. I now have this sugar thing driving me crazy and you think suboxone will do this even though i have been on it for over 7 months?  I am just so stressed and exhausted getting ready for christmas with a 22 month old. I will have a very exciting christmas to say the least!  I am sorry to hear about your accident with your head it sounds horrible and sorry to hear about the herion. I wish you well and hope you have a merry christmas!!

God Bless

I could't help but laugh when I read your posts. As i sit here on over sized rear end eating choc.mouse pie. I;ve gone through stages where I eat nothing but sugary things..Probably another lovely part of Fibro. What next? Excessive nasal hair growth? I never really eat properly. With the pain from Fibro and bi-polar (2), it;s hard enough to get out of bed some days.
Well lets try to remember what we have to be grateful for.....if I could only remember! ha ha..
Yall take care of yourselves..GOD BLESS!!

It's so hard to know how to eat right. I was always the whole-wheat, veggie kid. Now, because of digestive issues, I eat way less in the way of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. What do I digest pretty well? Sugar! (I don't mean large amounts, because I can't eat large amounts of anything, but it doesn't seem to irritate my colon unless there's a large amount of fat there, too.) I'll eat whatever makes me feel - uh - less bad :(

Ain't life ironic? I hope your cravings subside, Carrie, and you figure out what foods make you feel better...

Hello Barb and Debbie thank you so much for your input. I am due a all over check up, so i am going to talk to the doctor to see if the meds are doing this 2 me! Thank you for your concern us fibromites have to stick together.  I am so exhausted and christmas is upon us and i am looking forward to seeing family, i will travel over 500 miles to be with my mother and father christmas day with a 22 month old in the truck for 9 hours is not fun, but will be worth it to see my family.  My husbands family is all here in nc where we live so we will do christmas with them first and then drive for 9-10 hrs. I wish all my firbo family a merry christmas and hope for a better year in 2011! I wish their was some way for a foundation to be started for people who are suffering from the silent but deadly disease: Fibro,depression just to name a few.  A foundation like they have for cancer and for make a wish foundation! It would be great to know that they are really trying by making a foundation to help cost of health care for people like us that are hard to diagnois!! I would be first in line to help with anything that can help cure this horrible disease that people think that is so invisible, but wreaks havic on everyones life.

God Bless
