I am a new member who suffers from fibromyalgia. I also have osteoarthritis in many joints, low thyroid, low blood pressure, & others. I have discovered that I must not indulge in sweets, desserts,etc. I can have a little once in awhile, but not more than once a week. Sugar causes me to feel really tired and if I consume more it can bring on other symptoms of fibromyalgia. We also know sugar causes inflammation in the joints, therefore it is bad for my osteoarthritis. I recommend that everyone limit their sugar intake. I am not diabetic but it really can knock me off my feet.

Hi, Rolf, and welcome. We have a thread called Diet and Food Discussions and that's where we are limiting our discussions of food. Everyone is different and most of us have no problems with food. Some have allergies, etc. so we keep the discussions about foods and diet on that thread.

I'll lock this thread now but I put your post in the Diet and Food Discussions thread for you.

It's good that you realize that this bothers you. You can avoid it now. It's good to keep a food journal if you think you are having problems with what you eat.

Be sure to check out Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about fibro and you can learn a lot there.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
