Congratulations on the new baby! Sackette...
Just an update on my 15 year old daughter. She has had 3 IV's of the chelation therapy. The 1st was 1/2 dose & she did great. The 2nd dose they increased to 3/4 & she was sick that day. This time...
My husband had hives for a solid year, so I don't wear alot of scents. However, if I shower after he's left, I use Lavender Camomille aromatherapy from Bath & Body. That stuff just sends me, I love...
Yes she's been tested for celiac disease & she had an upper GI w small bowel & everything looked ok. The lack of absorption is a result of the metals. Her 1st IV went very well, found the vein right...
I wash the sheets then put them right back on the bed. Having a very deep pocketed fitted sheet really helps. Then we have one blanket & the comforter. It takes me less then 5 minutes to make a king...
She went to 12 doctors in the past year, hundreds of different tests (never for metals), all negative results. The most recent doc is a natureopathic doc who did an IV test for metals. A certain...
well we live in a old mining town & we lived in a 100 year old building until she was 11. In this area lead tests are done regularly on children who are in the state run preschool, which she didn't...
Our little office is where we stuff things when company is coming. I have a stack of books that I'm reading or want to read. We have a large corner computer desk that takes up too much room. We also...
I was wondering if any of you have heard of chelation therapy for FM? My daughter was diagnosed w/ FM but later we found out she has heavy metal poisoning & that is causing the symptioms of FM....
I use old toothbrushes to clean every little crack that you can't get a rag into, and the handle of it works great with a rag over the top to clean slats of a bifold door. I use Dawn on laundry...
I promise not to let the stress make me get edgy with people I love, or anyone for that matter....
I'm not sure if I should be able to respond to this plus I'm a day late. I don't have FM, but am on here for support because my 14 year old daughter has it. I don't have the pain she does but I have...
Summer, you wonder why you're here but I just read your response to me about my 14 year old daughter. And your prayers mean more to me than you can know. It's very late at night & I can't sleep...
Thank you so much, you're prayers mean a lot....
We just got a diagnosis of heavy metal poisoning for my daughter. The results show that she is full of metals, lead being a major one. We finally got her into an agressive naturopathic doctor. After...

Wow, Jamies.mom, you sound exactly like my daughter, it makes me cry to read your note. Except the part being taken from your mom, she has lived in the same home with 2 parents her whole life. In...
My daughter has Fm, she's 14. She had 'rough' skin as a baby, I couldn't use soap or lotions on her, all her clothes had to be double rinsed. Seams in socks drove her nuts, but she would wear toe...
I made a huge pot of homemade chili, turned it up to get it simmering. I got side tracked & came back when it was burnt beyond anything. So I dumped it out, got all new ingredients & made a new huge...

That was a quick diagnosis. Usually it takes many doctors, many months & sometimes years to find a diagnosis. Don't give up if you aren't happy with this doctor, find another. May I suggest a...
The Dr she visited spent 1 1/2 hours with her asking lots of questions, listening very intently & going through her old med records. She's going to check into heavy metal poisoning & lymes further....
We're headed to a new naturepathic doctor tomorrow in a town 120 miles from here. I don't feel hopeful, but we'll see what happens. I don't feel hopeful because it's the 12th doc in 11 months....
Hi, Yes I'm wishing I would have homeschooled her earlier. She has had problems in school since preschool with health issues. We feel she has had FM since at least age 8. Poor thing & she had...
Thanks, I'll find the book!...
I was told by a natural healing doctor that electric blankets & heating pads are not good to keep on all night, turn them on before bed, but once you get in, shut them off. The electro-magnetic...
Do you suggest this even for older children, my child is a freshman & was just taken out of public school because of her FM. I have read books that say decompression takes from 6 weeks to 6 months...
Thanks everyone. Recently it has come to my attention that she has been having thoughts of harming herself. She said it's not that she really wants to die but that she hates herself. She now is in...
Well she is homeschooling now, it's going well. She is still having lots of stomach problems that are undiagnosed! We'll see how it goes. She is totally off the cymbalta. Thank the Lord!...
Wow thank you for all the advice. She is in 9th grade, we are in MT. I just found out the head of the hm assc in our area is a lady I know. My daughter is very involved in the church youth group so...
I'm seriously considering homeschooling my daughter now. She said she just can't handle the stress of school. I have friends & relatives who've done wonderful jobs at homeschooling so I'm...
look up myalgic encephalmylitis (SP?) I have a 14 year old daughter who may have that or FM. Lots of overlapping symptoms....
She has had so many tests that I can't honestly remember if chrons was one. I know she's had cat scans of her intestines etc an upper GI w small bowel. The symptoms don't seem to line up-I'll ask...
I'm beginning to think maybe my daughter has M.E. I'm planning to take her to a naturepathic doctor very soon. The symptoms are a lot the same but FM is an autoimmune disorder & ME is viral I...
Before bed tonight she was crying & crying saying she wants to be homeschooled & she can't handle school anymore. She missed the 2nd semester of last year. We told her we will talk w the teachers &...
My 14 year old daughter was put on cymbalta for "depression" but after she was diagnosed w/ FM they raised it to 60mg 1 x daily. Besides becoming more depressed she started having coordination...
She went to school for 9 days but today is her 2nd day sick. She is nausous in the mornings -does anyone else have this problem? She had this symptom for a year or more, very frustrating. I'm going...
My daughter got a portion of her results back, the MRI showed no MS< thank the Lord! The doc said he wanted the MRI to check for MS "among other things" but haven't really heard what the other...
Just returned from the neurologist, she will have an EEG tomorrow & an MRI the next day. They are checking for things like MS & seizure activity, why she's suddenly having more coordination...

My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed earlier this summer after months & months of doctors. She was put on cymbalta at the beginning because they said she was "depressed" & each doctor upped...
My 14 year old daughter was recenty diagnosed & is on 60 mg Cymbalta 1 X daily. I was wondering if anyone knows the best time to take it. I've heard different things from different doctors. The...
I think the idea of getting info about FM for family to read is good. The mayo clinic website has good info that I've printed, my 14 year old daughter was just diagnosed this past Monday after years...
My daughter was always active. She climbed trees & ran around on her hands & feet because she was either a lion or a horse. I always thought it was odd that she had muscle aches as a child....
Good News?!! My daughter saw the FM doc & the diagnosis is official. She does have FM. We feel relief finally knowing! Thank God for an answer! She is also relieved! This was the 7th doc she's...
My 14 year old daughter was just diagnosed this week w/ FM. I know when she's in the shower too long she comes out sick. The doc said usually heat feels good to FM sufferers but I guess not heat &...
