Hi, I get your theory. Yes, a repeated firing of any nerve will lead to pain and exhaustion of the muscles. I have twitches, better know as fasciculations, in my calves which are very definitely...
Hi, As a former tennis player that is VERY familiar with endorphin highs, NO walking etc. does not do that. Yes, as others have written it energizes me a little but no the high you remember. You have...
Hi, It is clear that this beautiful flower has given us a food with exceptional nutritional value. The Vit E is incredible and the magnesium a fine source as well. The seed would be a natural muscle...
Hi Sue, I DO remember all those rejections and your frustrations. CONGRATULATIONS, I am soooooo happy for you and know you will do it. Patsie...
Hi, Am having a rough day today and when I saw the thread I thought just do what you can do. I get very down on myself when I cannot do what my brain thinks it can do. Must work on this and take my...
Hi Lissa, Did my walk as usual but increased the distance by a third:). Also got on my big exercise ball and did a good w/o. They are just wonderful b/c no stress on the joints. Having read your post...
Hi, Just wanted to say I am thinking about you and know how scary all this stuff can be. I'm with everyone, don't borrow trouble yet. WE seem to have many false positives, interesting. I tested...
Hi Fitlissa, I think you may have a great idea here. I was a major tennis player my entire life until Fibro came along and made that part of life impossible. NOW hope is eternal with me that I will...
Jeannie, I just want to say how very well written your words were. Understanding is all I am hoping for too. This makes me feel we are becoming more recognized for our daily battles. Thank you for...
Thank you for this. I so needed this today and it did me a world of good. We must never give up hope even when it can be so very difficult. I find music to be the most amazing help for my mood and it...
Dear Lisa, Hurray, hurray, hurray. I just returned to FLA and the land of internet. New Hampshire was beautiful and soooo wonderful but services I have not. Well I continue to improve as well. I am...
Ski, Nana Monster and Littleneck thank you so much for taking the time to help ALL os us with your regimens. I KNOW my improvement is just incredible and it is my supplements. We all realize at this...
Thank you Ski. I am in the biggest snow storm in NH. Already must be 18" on the ground. I am still taking the True Calm with great success. BUT would you share with us the breakdown on your program...
Hi Mamanan, Thanks for the great reply to my post today. In the morning I head to New Hampshire from Florida until mid January. I know many think I need my head opened up. But I love it there and my...
Welcome Patricia and thanks for posting. WE all have the beat up the pillow days but somehow we manage to get through it. This is a great place to come to share thoughts, concerns, really just about...
A friend called me the other day to tell me for months she has been battling a frozen shoulder and the pain is agonizing. She asked what I knew about a med but MOST importantly she said she never had...
Hi Kathy, I felt so bad when I read what you wrote and so understand. Try to do everything you can to get your mind of it. Believe me when I say I know that is not easy much of the time. At least...
First soap I have loved, get to writing Girl!...
Hi Libby, May I ask what the liquid ca/mg is? Thank you as night time leg cramps can be a big problem for me, toes too. I do take my calcium before bed and it does help. Patsie...
Thank you all for the great info. Nana Monster when you have time LOL, perhaps you could explain for those of us very interested what most of those supplements do. I happen to know most but many do...
Hi donna, So very sorry you had this withdrawal, it sounds terrible. Well, my belief on MY Fibromyalgia is this: for me it has become apparent that neurotransmission is my major culprit. When I get...
I thought it might e helpful for many of us if we post the natural supplements we feel help our daily lives. It must be said they have to be respected just as prescription drugs but many are very...
Hi Lisa, Please let me know what your doctors have to say about this. Networking together is so very important. Yes, the celiac has caused many of these issues for you but I feel many with FM have...
Hi Lisa, My neurologist, who is a very western doctor, called me and suggested I try True Calm which is an amino acid blend/Gaba. She has had very good results in dosages higher than recommended by...
Lisa, I could clone what you said. My number is 3 in the afternoon and by 5 the worst. I have attributed it to the days of super tension in my life at that time of day. Not sure but it makes sense. I...
Hi Sera, Just read your post and I suffer from chapped lips all the time. My friend told me it is from mouth breathing at night which greatly dries the mucosa of mouth and even lips. She told me a...
Hi Marlee, You know I just loved what you just wrote. I am your clone and won't go into that further. Trust me when I say my holidays were works of art. But what hit me is how great your holidays...
I would never enter another store as long as I live if I could. On line is saving me b/c I hate malls with a passion. HATE shopping. I can zoom in and out of a store in record time. Hubby gladly does...
Hi Littleneck, I have had the same neck problems but mine started at the dentist. He had my neck cranked so hard to one side I nearly died. Amazing how the neck affects everything!! Anyway so glad...
Dear Bill, I am a regular member of the Fibro group and since I have such chronic pain happened over here to take a look. When I read your post about the scar I wondered if this is your pain issue. I...
Hi all, I would really like to know if you feel your Fibro is primary, meaning no other known cause, or secondary, meaning you think it is attributed to something else. We have bounced around how we...
Hi Spicey, I am always in sensory overload mode. Oh my, loud noise and bright light are my worst enemies. I can jump when a loud unexpected noise arises. I live in Florida much of the year and cannot...
Love love love to sing. My family loves for me to sing. My mother had a beautiful voice and I always remember her singing. It's a big part of my life. The new pup hasn't put his paws over his ears so...
Dear Panda, You have been so very missed on this forum. It is just such as you wrote that gives so many people encouragement. I just mentioned you the other day and am thrilled to see you back. Sorta...
I also have thought about this question many times. Having now been diagnosed with Fibro for over 2 years I think I "know" my body and the pain and aches that go with it. WE get a sense of the way...
Note to Sherrine, If you happen to read this PLEASE tell me where you found those plates with lids. I looked this afternoon and found nothing. Since we are still on this subject, the internet has...
Hi Cat, Just a quick reply. I have heard before that women improve with their Fibro as they get older. I even think Mayo wrote a blurb on this fact. Telling me this about your mom is so very...
Hi Cat, I was thinking the other day that drying my hair is so tedious for me and something popped into my head. I know scary! Anyway I thought how great a stand hair dryer would be. I know years ago...
Hi Chutzie, I think I will now just believe everyone is doing much better and as you say have moved on. I am just a curious Georgette and wonder where people go and how they are. You share so much...
Thanks for responding Sherrine. You know how we count on you!!!! Yes, I will watch and hopefully they will return....
Hi, As I approach my first anniversary with our forum I thought it a good time to post this. I spent this past summer In N.H. finishing our dream retirement home and really lost touch with the forum....
I would have to respond by saying it is my constant dream that were I to have a remission I would grab my tennis racket and hit the courts. Tennis was my life and not a day goes by that I don't mss...
Sue, I ordered a pair of Privos from Zappos yesterday. Thanks for the hint. These look real cute. Patsie...
Hi Nanners. Wow didn't connect D to my reduction in foot pain. I am on 4000 iu daily as I had such very low D. I am so much better and doctor says stay with the larger dose. Hey, if it helps and I...
Out with the pain....
FYI, tinnitis is a symptom of fibro. I have it and major noise sensitivity. I live in Florida and the sun has become a major enemy too. We are very sensitive to external stimuli!!!!...
Hi, My major pain is the feet and so you know my doctor declares it is a big part of Fibro. Sue, thanks for the Clarks hint. so want to have shoes that look like shoes....
pants never fit my thighs...
Hi Marie, I cannot comment on the drug issue but I certainly can on the "stabbing" pain. Mine is very rapid and at times feels as though a bee has stung me. It can be anywhere on me and is quite...
