Help wanted

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I had a major flare up and have not been on line for a while to read the

messages. I have 60 in my box at the moment but no energy to read them right

now.

I am in the middle of what may be the worst flare up I have ever had. I am

tired and cranky, not so much sore but sensitive to any little touch, the jeans

on my legs are almost to much to bear. I have no concentration and my work is

starting to be affected...I was pulled into a meeting because of their concern

that I am so slow at my job these days.

I cannot go for walks because I am so fatigued, i can not read because I can not

concentrate, I can not do needle point because I have little or no fine motor

skills at present. My laundry is piling up and I cannot get it done. I have no

idea how to start. My Dr has put me on anti depressants.

Can any one offer me some help.

You need to do physical activity.. walking is great... you don't have to get

out there like a maniac, but everyday..do some. it is very important.. take it

day by day.

Don't worry, there is help. I used to have horrible brain fog and

eventually had to quit my job. (Thankfully my husband loves me, I

can't imagine what would have happened otherwise.) A computer

programmer has to have a brain that works, after all. Brain fog is

caused by food allergies, candida, or other factors, maybe

hypoglycemia too, that are a part of fibromyalgia syndrome.

Get yourself tested for food allergies. Try to avoid those things

or look into JMT or NAET, or perhaps NMT.

You have to be on the fibromyalgia diet too, and keep things fairly

alkaline. You have to avoid sugars, coffee, pop, alcohol, simple

carbs like white flour or rice, etc.

Try to get better sleep, if possible with sleep herbs like scullcap

or valerian.

Supplements - flax oil or fish oil for your Omega 3 fatty acids

(Carlson's fish oil brand is very good), malic acid which is

magnesium, which you're probably deficient in. Maybe MSM for pain.

But pain is related to your general body toxicity. Cleanses are

necessary. It takes a while to heal yourself but it can be done.

By the way, your doctor was wrong to put you on anti-depressants.

You're much better off without them, and no I'm not a doctor. Those

drugs can mess you up badly. Conventional medicine doesn't

understand what causes fibro, and they don't understand how to treat

it. They just try to medicate some of the symptoms like pain and

sleep problems, so they give you sleeping pills, painkillers, and

anti-depressants. None of these drugs really improve the fibro, and

they're all somewhat toxic and harm your liver over time. Some

people have died of fibromyalgia because of so many prescription

drugs that eventually caused organ failure.

Try omega-3 fatty acids for generaly health and depression, and

you'll feel better physically and mentally anyway when you treat the

fibromyalgia.
