- Is anyone juicing? Why? What do you like about it? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to buy a Vitamix blender. Maybe I can make do with my cuisinart? In terms of nutrition, does the food have to be raw for nutrients to be more available...
- This makes a lot of sense to me and I want to know what you think...One of fibro's key characteristic is inability to down regulate pain. That is, when something hurts, most people's bodies can ignore it unless it is serious. our bodies cannot...
- I have found that a small daily serving of sauerkraut does more for my digestion than Align, which is my gastroenterologist must-have probiotic. And, I have even dared a couple of bites here and there of things that have milk without causing any...
- In the summer I went in the ocean almost every day and I felt great. The ocean became too cold and aches, pain, and grouchy /stressed mood came back. But, I didn't know if the summer effect was because of the ocean water, the increased number of...
- One idea out there is that we may have a defective MTHFR gene. I think I do. My mother had fibro, a miscarriage, an infant with anancephaly, and heart disease, all markers of this problem. The treatment for this is supplementation with B12 and...
- I attended a fibro support group led by my doctor, who, BTW, is in the list recently posted of good fibro specialists. She mentioned that across the board, all fibro patients have low vitamin D levels unless they supplement. So, I have been...
- It has been very difficult to wake up in the mornings and indeed, checking on my Up (movement bracelet) I found that during the past two weeks I have slept an average of 50 more minutes of deep sleep than I did in July. So, it's not my imagination....
- What doe "friends in need" mean. It is a tab under friends.
- I used to suffer from allergies, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and the reactions have reduced to al most nothing since fibro started. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
- What do you guys think? I typically eat very low sodium and cook almost all my meals. But, if I cook a meal with tamari sauce, fish sauce, other salty ingredient, or eat chips (even if gluten free) I am constipated and useless the next morning. ...
- While making a list of tests that I would like for my doctor to consider, I found this. Below is the beginning of the article and at the bottom I placed the link in case anyone wants to read the whole thing. IT is a buyer beware world out there,...
- Not treating the fibromyalgia symptoms puts you at risk of a downward spiral. Read this. Share it with your doctor. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sbsl6juz0jo1wrg/What%20Primary%20Care%20Physicians%20Should%20Know%20About%20Fibromyalgia%202.docxAnd,...
- I have an appt next week with my doctor that will include a fasting blood test and now regret that I have not kept a list of all the "have you checked your Xyz" levels that I have run across. I want to check for arthritis, lupus, etc., etc. ...
- Now off of anti-inflammatory for almost a week. Only one half-pill one afternoon. So, I am just a little heavier/slower/whatever feeling, but not in pain and I have got to figure out what it is so that I can continue it. Funny, if I had taken the...
- Another current post reminded me of this. A friend suggested that I see a chemist who analyzes blood for imbalances/toxicity. He says that on the basis of analysis this doctor told him to stop eating 11 foods and in effect, their elimination cured...
