Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Oh, ine, I know where you are at. I was there and, yes, it is terrible. It was a struggle just to make myself breath from the fatigue and would cry aloud as a child from the horrific pain. I was in such a pathetic state. I could not eat, worked to breath, felt as if I were one hundred years old and felt I was slowly dying. It was a long process toward healing. But I began with one thing at a time. That was all I could handle. I began with working to get rid of the pain. I began using the vinegar and going to acupuncture once a week. It took eight months for me to slowly see the difference. Then I began to take one food off my list and then another....it was sooo difficult because it seemed that the food that was really bad was the one I would crave.But I slowly weaned myself off of bread....oh, then my pastries. That was very painful because I grew up baking and socializing with french pastries. It was a killer...especially giving up my croissants. Then I slowly cut my coke intake. Although I drank just one every other day, it was difficult. Little by little, it took months and months, cheating a little here and there then suffering at night, I learned to eat properly. I think I am finally free of all addictions. Yes, these are severe and serious addictions. You and I cannot handle artificial foods. They are poison for our body. We cannot eat these things and expect to survive long or live normally. While you are feeling ill you cannot even think of doing anything but sleeping to regain your strength. Use this time for that, don't worry. Healing will come in time. Begin slowly and in time you will gain enough strength to think about a hobby, job, business, or what ever your life plate can hold. You need to wean one small food item at a time. Do not try to fast from everything all at once, this is a killer. Not all of us are strong enough to do that. I know I wasn't. Today I tasted a brownie. I thought I was going to really enjoy it....I was so disappointed. It was too darn sweet, how do you like that?!  I am finally on the full Atkins diet. I avoid the starch almost completely because that helps relieve my pain. But that is what helps me, see which foods eliminated will help lessen your pain. Then use this to be your life long gain without pain. Hope I have helped. I will pray for you, my friend.  Subject: Re: pauline-new To: fibromyalgiacured Date: Friday, September 3, 2010, 10:09 PM  Everyone says that. If I feel sick I can't do anything. I'm not as strong as most people I guess. ine pauline-new I hatethe heat! I am so sick from it. Soon it will be over. I wish I know people having the same problem.
