Re: newbie chiming in

Hi Georgia,

Here is the diet, the focus is on candida, but it is actually a healing diet. It

is more strict than Atkins, but better results. The thing is healing the brain

itself, so your body is not as sensitive to the pain. I tried rubbing into my

hands, which are my pain problem different things, but sometimes it helps, but

could be stirring the toxins around, making me hurt worse. Toxins moving around

can make us hurt worse, and the diet and high fat helps detox us, so helpes that

way-but takes time. What is the GUI?

it might be the new medication I started taking. I was on cyclobenzapr and it

made me so very sleepy and out of it. So, since Saturday I'm taking metaxalone.

It doesn't make me drowsy, but does a lousy job on the pain. I've only been

taking it when I really need too. Does anyone else have any suggestions for pain

management?

Hi ,

Thanks for the link for Bee's diet. I appreciate it.

The Gui, short for Guaifenesin, is from The book What Your Doctor May Not

Tell you about Fibromyalgia by Dr. R. Amand. It was the first thing I

picked up after my diagnosis. There is an article on our site about it.

Very technical and I need to read it again for better understanding. You

have to get rid of all the salicytates in your topical products. Salicytates

and different forms of, are in so many products not just acne products. I

dutifully got rid of all my products and started taking Mucinex, over the

counter. If it's working you get worse before you get better and you cycle

through your pain spots. This is just the short of it.

To be honest, I can't tell you if it's working or not, because I'm so new to

FM, that I don't know how I cycle and what is worse than what.

I do know the low carb and flaxseed oil seem to have helped me the most with

energy and brain fog.

So glad I found this place. I don't feel so alone.

In admiration,

Georgia

Hi,

Oh yes, I did do some research on guaifenesin a few years ago, but it seemed to

have limited success, for all the trouble you have to go through with it. I

never tried it myself. It is basically a muscle relaxer (was given to horses).

On a low carb diet your muscles will not tense up as much anyway. I got off

flexeril finally. Hope you are able to read more on Bee's site.

Hi ,

I started on the flexeril, but it made me so tired. So the Dr. Prescribed

Metaxalone (skelaxin) and it seems to little for the pain. So I don't take

it. I'm afraid to call the Dr. And tell her, she's going to think I'm makin

this stuff up. The heating pad has helped my back, a 15 minute period and

I'm good to go again for awhile.

I think I'd prefer to just try natural pain relief. I've gotten off so many

of my prescription meds, slowly, but surely and am hoping that's helping me

too. The only ones I'm on now are Citalopram (Celexa, depression),

verapamil (migraines) and prilosec (acid reflux). I'm hoping to get off the

prilosex next. I've gotten off of steroids ( for microscopic colitis) and

seem to be doing fine in that area. Knock on wood! I've also gotten off a

cholesterol med, and will know at my next check, but with the low carb, I

don't think I have to worry. Sorry, if I'm ramblin', it's just so great to

talk to people who get it and understand.

Plan to start to read Bee's site today. The low carb diet, CoQ10, and

flaxseed oil seem to be helping. Thanks again, ! In admiration,

Georgia

Hi Georgia,

I'm H. I haven't been on here for a month or so. I was going to ask if

anyone else had done Gui. I just bought the book... well I thought I did. When

I got it I realized I ordered the wrong book, " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You

About Fibromyalgia Fatigue " . It does have the guaifenesin protocol in it

though. I started on it Aug. 17th. After about a week I felt a whole lot worse

for 3 days, then felt better for 4 or 5 days than I've felt in what seems like

forever. I had more energy... didn't have to take a nap even. Thant's a

miracle. Anyway, I feel worse again. The pain got worse 2 days ago and I

started my period today. So I'm not sure what triggered the pain. Does the

book say it will come and go? You said something about cycling. Can you

explain? I just started reading the book I have. Was thinking about getting

the other one from the library.

I'm so glad you brought this subject up. I've been in pain for going on 12

years and hate complaining because I know a lot of people are in pain. I was

glad to hear you say that the fibro is worse. I read a testimony in Dr. St.

Amand's book saying that fibro pain was worse than the pain of going through

cancer treatment... that really surprised me. I sometimes feel like people

think I'm a hypochondriac and I've even been told that fibro is in your head by

a doctor. Anyway, your words mean a lot to me.

Thank you,

H (different )
