Oh, also a book you might be interested in is called "FibroWHYalgia" by Sue Ingebreston... she is a fellow classmate of mine. i just listened to a talk of hers and she is great!...
Hi "mina"....nice to "meet" you. :) I rarely get on here anymore but just happened to accidently click on this and your post caught my attention. I am also into trying to figure out how to treat the...
OMG.... I absolutely LOVE my tempurpedic!!! I could never do without one again!! true, it's not perfect and I still feel some pain, but it is sooooo much better than what I used to have! I also have...
I guess what I am trying to ask is.... if a person with Fibro finds they have yeast overgrowth... and they treat the yeast and their pain goes away... does that mean they never had Fibro to begin...
thanks....I was just wondering if anyone here has tried to find what is causing the Fibro.... like I am reading now that yeast overgrowth could be a big factor... but I am not sure how to be tested...
Hi Sue.... thanks for writing back! Does anyone else have any thoughts, or has anyone else ever heard of the Computerized biofeedback resonance thing?...
My muscles twitch an I am not on any medications either. In fact, twitching muscles were one of my first symptoms before the pain started spreading throughout my whole body. It's nice to know others...
Hi all. i just wanted to write and vent a little bit and ask what you think. I recently decided to go to school to become a certified health coach. Like a holistic health counselor. I am SOOOO...
so does stage 4 sleep have nothing to do with dreams?...
I don't know what I think about the science behind the diet, but I think there is some truth to how certain people feel better after eating certain foods, while those same foods could make someone fe...
wow, sorry to hear that! I came on here to find out about chest pain too! Last night I was nervous because my chest felt weird and like someone was pressing on it. It started after I was sitting at a...
It's interesting hearing about all the dreams! KL- don't worry, I have had strange dreams too- when I was a kid I dreamt that my mom was chasing me around holding a gun. It doesn't mean we are...
I meant, I k now I definitely have Fibromyalgia. and i do wake up really groggy, like I didn't sleep much-- but at the same time, I only get about 6 or 7 hours of sleep....
i got to thinking how most people with Fibromyalgia have sleep issues and therefore don't dream. However, lately, I have had some sort of dream almost every night. I normally don't remember them and...
My pain is the WORST in the morning and evening-- so I guess my best time is afternoon- about noon-4 pm or so. I wake up so achy and stiff and groggy-- i can't even think straight. THen the evening...
wow, that' a lot of vitamin D! wEre you taking D3? I know there are different kinds. I had already replied to your post about the malic acid/magnesium. The one I found is by Olympian Labs and was...
Hi and welcome! I enjoy this board as well. I was diagnosed with Fibro in nov. 2008. sorry to hear you may have something else with it too! I also am trying to go natural/holistic in my treatment. I...
I just wanted to chime in and say not sure if it is a coincidence but since I was diagnosed in Nov. I have had constant ear problems. either itchy, wax build up or an infection. It happens every...
oh, the pms is horrible too! I feel like I could hurt someone or something! i should probably at least cut back on coffee during that time but it's hard to do. My poor husband! Even th ough he has...
I have noticed that the cramping is so much worse and the pain in my back is also! are there many other people on here that are still child bearing age? sorry this is short and sweet, don't feel like...
I think I have figured out that loud noise makes me light headed and sometimes I even think it makes my pain worse. IT makes me feel like I really am crazy!...
so I see magnesium is in it but I wonder what the other ingredients are. I like to know what I am taking. You'll have to let us know if you get any side effects from it! But it's great that it looks...
so they are just over the counter? I'm surprised. i need to look that up...thanks for telling us...
wow, that's interesting. I'm sorry you have RA as well. My hands hurt a lot too. Is that common with Fibro as well? I don't have inflammation though. did you notice inflammation right away?...
I should add that I now live in central CA. We moved here because my husband is a pastor and found a church here....
welcome "Bridget"! LOL. Bridget is just my user name. my real name is Kellie. I have nothing to hide so I don't mind saying my real name. How long have you had Fibromyalgia? I grew up in AZ! I mostly...
oh, that's interesting, Sherrine! of course, tests aren't always accurate though. I just like to take them out of curiosity. The Myers Briggs have always been pretty right on for me at least though I...
I found this test online and thought it was interesting. THought some of you might want to take it. It actually gives you a result of either Type A, Type B or Type C... I had never heard of Type C! I...
that's good, Sherinne! by the way, it's hard to read tone, but i hope you know i wasn't being rude or anything like that....
Sherinne, I actually don't have a wallet, and my purse is very messy! I think for me it is all about appearances, th ough it seems to be something that is hard to control. LIke our rug always has to...
Thanks "Free Spirit" for your advice!!...
I think there are different degrees in Type A (Or Type B for that matter) I don't think I have ever truly been Type B... but neither have I been a workaholic who is all work and no play. I used to...
I can relate, though I don't have chronic low back pain. But yes, I've noticed my pain level goes up a notch or two every month before my period! And my moods are the worse! My husband always knows...
oh, also, you can call me Kellie- that's my real name. lol. I just didn't want to have that as my user name....
by the way, I meant, I am not good at swimming (not that I physically can't)...
it's interesting to know what does and doesn't work for people. I know it's different for everyone but was curious as to what responses I would get. I don't really think I'll try it since it is just...
Welcome to the forum! i was just diagnosed last November and have not had pain for very long but I am going through a grieving time. i am glad to have a diagnosis though! That is really cool that you...
Has anyone tried physical therapy? Someone told me that she is going (for something else) and she met two people with Fibro who said it helped. My concern, is even light touch bothers me. i noticed...
thanks... mine is called Olympians Gold or something like that and was $7 for one month's worth, not including shipping. If this doesn't work, i'll try what you take....
I know this sounds bad, but it is encouraging to me to know that I am not the only one who's husband has Fibro as well. It must be pretty rare though for both spouses to have it. Sometimes i question...
wow, Lola, that is awful what happend to your husband-- it's a miracle he's alive! I know i should't complain because at least my husband is able to help me. Wow, you sound like you have a great...
I wish I had a hobby that was that worth it to me. I never really had one, besides playing the piano and even that doesn't interest me anymore. i feel so one sided because all I am passionate about...
thanks! I guess I should have looked at that one. I should have waited, but I found a good one on another site. It has both and was only $7 and is all natural....
I tried looking up the mag/malic acid combo on puritan.com and didn't find that exact combo. can I get the link for that product please? or maybe it is discontinued?...
thanks for the replies... I love this board! GDSgirl...good for you for eating so healthy! I know it can be hard at first to get used to but is so worth it in the end. I would rather pay extra for...
Denise-I"m so sorry that your husband thinks it's all in your head.. What an awful thing to deal with! you are ri ght, he is a good husband and does help me a lot, but I just wanted to vent on how...
Denise, you are right, I am very thankful that he and I can relate and understand each other. But I wish he didn't have it. It's not like I want him to do EVERYTHING for me, as I do enjoy cleaning...
Hi again! One t hing I am not sure I mentioned is that it seems my husband has Fibromyalgia too! He has been in chronic pain for the past five years (much longer than i have been) and just last year...
Thanks everyone for the encouragment. I exercised yesterday and today I am in so much more pain but I have to keep telling myself it is worth it. As for going out and seeing people, maybe I am a...
Michael... i guess it just all boils down to how much it is worth it to a person. For me, what would give me joy is not so much physical activity, but talkign with people about health and nutrition....
