Read, read, read your labels. Sugar is in EVERYTHING! And it is bad for us!

Cancers also feed off of sugar. Be aware!!

I bought the book reversing Fibromyalgia.. Now I don't believe you can cure

it but I think you can help it..

In this book he didn't say give up carbs.. But 70 percent carbs the rest

protein and fat I think I think have to look at the book but of course sugar

was out...

It was a very interesting book gave me an idea what to look for..

-- The carb attraction

The first person I met with Fibromyalgia was a nice young woman who was

working summer school like I was. She told me about it over lunch and how

she was lost in a parking lot and had to call her husband to help her. Her

Fibro fog was apparently flaring up. This was the one memory I have of her

stories. This was the summer I call “the summer from He-double Hockey

Sticks.” I was having seizures something fierce and the doctor kept upping

my meds (turns out the wrong ones) and they were making my seizures worse.

It was the summer after my mom, who I took care of for 16 years, passed

away. Anyway the other thing I remember about what she said about Fibro was

that she quit eating sweets and was doing so much better.

This brings me to carbs and the diet I’m trying to be on. I’ve been really

good so far today. I’m trying so hard to stay away from carbs and what I do

eat of them, to make sure they are whole grain. This is no easy task, I

must say. Also, I’m trying to stay away from sweets. This is even harder

for me and my 10 sweet teeth. Lunch/dinner will be in less than 1 hour and

I’m dyin’ here. Mike will be home from his first day of work (he got up at

2am) and it will be his dinner and my lunch. I must eat only a quarter of a

veggie sandwich.

I’m wondering if, along with the stress of our lives and the world we live

in, that our diet isn’t also to blame for Fibro. I’m hearing others talk

about carbs and how so many of us have weight problems. I LOVE my carbs!

I’m fat! I have Fibro (and reactive hypoglycemia). So, I know I have to

change and am hoping that maybe, just maybe it will affect my Fibro

positively. I’m only sitting here writing because I must stay away from

food until…hey, he’s home. Well, I must go and eat my ¼ sandwich. I’m

allowed to eat very small portions every 2 to 3 hours.

Gotta go! Hugs,

Jane
