Close Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed with DH 3 yrs.7 mos. and Celiac 3 yrs 5 mos.ago. I have been on a gluten-free diet since April 14,2004. It is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am doing fine now except when I unknowingly consume gluten--then the itching, burning and painful blisters are here again. Never had too much intestinal problems to complain about. I am from south Louisiana which is Cajun Country with its delicious food that I can no longer eat.
Treatments
- Dapsone Working / Worked
- I only begun this drug 2 1/2 years ago. I was afraid to use it, but the itching and burning on my entire skin surface was unbearable.
- Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
- This is one of the hardest diets to follow. It was so hard to learn and so much to remember. My husband and I have always enjoyed eating out. I haven't given it up but its difficult. The seafood here is so abundant and I enjoyed eating the fried platters at a restaurant. Now I eat grilled fish and a salad.
Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed in 1990 a few months after a car accident. It seemed that my health went down hill after that. Not realizing until 3 years ago that Fibro was a symptom of Celiac Disease. Doctors never caught that one in 1990.It is better since I have started the Gluten-Free diet.
Treatments
- Elavil Working / Worked
- I have been taking 25mgs for years now to help my sleep. I have learned that fibro affect our sleep patterns and in turn we wake with muscle pain.
- Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
- I am a Celiac-is this why I have fibromyalgia???
- Massage Working / Worked
- My husband purchased me my own massage chair and it sits in my bedroom. Whenever I have a flair-up I lay in it for two 15 minute treatment and it helps me trememdously-puts me to sleep!!
