Re: OT- anyone w/ fibromyalgia?

[Guest guest]

Olif, I'm definitely prone to this with all the 'tender points', etc. The

biggest help for me has been recognizing that I really wasn't sleeping soundly

through the night. I now take 5-HTP and a combination herbal supplement

(valerian, passionflower, etc.), and get deep, restful sleep. I think it allows

my muscles to relax and recover, because my symptoms have been infrequent & mild

since starting this last July. I also find it's really important to avoid

stress & become aware of times when you're tensing up muscles. Anything that

helps your friend learn to relax mind and body will be helpful.

She doesn't do yahoo groups, but she does email. If you are interested, I would

love to pass your story on to her and/or connect you via email. Feel free to

email me on or off list.

Thanks, Joanne.

My friend started taking 5-HTP and theanine a couple months ago. She is sleeping

a little better and says the pain isn't as bad.

Have you had a hair test showing mercury toxicity, had amalgams replaced, and

chelated at all? If so, has that done anything for you? She has been ill for 14

years and has quite a long way to go! She also has a mouth full of mercury. :-(

Thanks,

My story is a long one. I have been chelating with DMPS and pain

levels have gone down since I started chelation.

Feel free to give your friend my email.

" Amalgam Illness " would be the place to start. The excerpts at Andy's

web page (www.noamalgam.com) are very helpful to read. It would be

very worthwhile for your friend to have a hair test and post to the

group or interpret with Andy's " Hair Test Interpretation " book. The

book " From Fatigued to Fantastic " by Teitelbaum is a good reference.

I was fortunate to find a doctor who used that book.

The pharmacist at Falls Pharmacy said that he has knows of many

people who have had remarkable improvements in fibro symptoms with

dmps. He did caution that it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 years,

though.
