Liz,

It does sound like Fibromyalgia. If so, it's going to

be a uphill struggle for a while.

Taking medication is just a cover up.

Things that help me are regular deep massage therapy.

.. . .Painful, but blessed relief follows for and

extended period.

Moderate exercise . . . the idea is to keep moving,

because the problems start when you stop moving.

A good diet . . . no junk, no sugar, minimum refined

grains, avoid processed foods. Eat fruits (in

moderation) veggies and proteins.

Deep sleep. Melatonin will do in a pinch, but don't

take it long term. I use Temazapam - 15 mg. Doctors

who understand FM don't mind prescribing it. Sleepy

Time tea, hot baths, benedryl . . .anything that helps

you relax so you can get deep sleep.

Far infrared sauna is wonderful, if you have access to

one.

Supplementing with a good quality Calcium/Magnesium

product.

Detoxing . . . particularly the liver. Check out our

" healing therapies " in the archives.

Drinking plenty pure water - 1/2 ounce per pound of

body weight per day.

Stress and anger management .. . These two are killers

for people with FM . . . Avoiding negative people

helps a lot!

Treating for systemic Candida/fungus. . . Most of us

who have had implants have an ongoing problem with it.

Raw, fresh,crushed garlic . . . absolutely the best

natural food there is! Expect to see improvement in 24

hours!

Oil of Oregano is very good.

Probiotics . . .like Acidopholis, Fungal Defense and

Primal Defense from Garden of Life.

That's about all I can think of right now. . . The

idea is learning how to manage it. . . I have learned

to manage mine to the point I forget I have it, until

I forget to follow part of my " program " .

I'd suggest reading a book on FM so you can better

understand what you're working with . . .

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
