About Me
I'm just your friendly neighborhood healthy chick, non-judgemental, smart, optimistic. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS two years ago. I was not satisfied with either the treatment options or long term prognosis given by my Rheumatologist, so I turned to alternative medicine, and DS for answers. I found them. I am now healthy, active, pain free and willing to share any information that may help others. Never underestimate the power of online information sharing. It was key for me.

Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I was diagnosed with FM and CFS about two years ago. I am now pain free and active, though I will always need to activley "manage" this illness. I am here to share information and learn from others.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Worked for two years, then stopped. Coming off of it was HELL.
- Reflexology Working / Worked
- I do a reflexology session every two months. I feel wonderful afterwards.
- Reiki Working / Worked
- Love it. It helps me feel calm and balanced, better able to manage stress.
Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I'm just your friendly, neighborhood healthy chick, recovered from CFS and FM by turning to alternative medicine for help. I have a good friend with CD and I would like to learn as much as I can in order to help him. I am non jugdemental and optimistic. I would also like to share any info on Alt Med that may help anyone here. I never undersestimate the power of information sharing as it helped me recover from an illness the docs said was chronic and debilitating. Best wishes and hugs to all.
Treatments
- Dietary Modification Working / Worked
- I eat no processed foods dairy products gluten or caffeine. After discovering I had developed an allergy to gluten cutting it out was not very difficult. Cutting out the sugar and processed foods and dairy sucked. I will not lie. But changing my diet was KEY to my recovery and Id rather eat non mainstream than lie in bed exhausted and in pain for months on end. Its a no brainer for me.
