Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 , I have fibro too, so I feel for your pain. I came in on the tailend of this flylady stuff - would you mind giving me the skinny? Are you taking any supplements for your fibro? Beth in TX wrote: <<I also have Fibromyalgia>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 My list of supplements flabbergasts most drs. The only regular meds I take right now are 600 mg Neurontin & 600 mg ibuprofen. Supplements specifically for fibro, mood & sleeping are: MSM, Gaba, H- HTP, Valerian, Kava, cal/mag, and a super-B. I've also been taking l- carnitine to control appetite, but I seem to have more energy as well. And the blood sugar stabilizers may be helping as well, I'm not as cranky - gynemna sylvestre (sp), vanadyl sulfate, and Non- yeast GTF. Scary, huh? And that's not all! Thanks for the flylady info - I'll check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 I need to add *E* but, after working now I am SO exhausted. I know poor baby *grins* These hour commutes are killers morning and evening gets so old but, have to go where I can work even for chicken feed. *grins* I brought my Tae bo gold and basic back from the states but, haven't touched them. I told Rolf yest would have been an excellent day to go for a walk but, I was so sick Monday and am still feeling the effects. I can say though that with the vitamins, water, atkins, *E* and supplements combined it does truly work to the maximum. I am finding that <I am not hungry again so that's a good thing even if the sweets have been jumping into my mouth in the evenings but, at least it#s less than an hour sin. Yes, I will work on it! Gotta get out of the naughty corner but, OHHHH the recliner feels so good sometimes. *grins* Who has the remote??? Bobbi Jo > Ruthie, I've decided to take you up on your exercise challenge.

The pool should help esp if it's warm. And this wol will help too I find. Hugs, Bobbi Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 You guys are really making that naughty corner sound good. How did I miss the nail idea anyway? No wonder I didn't get that job, I can't think outside the box. See Terry tricked me and I fell for the easy egg alternative when nails would hurt so much more!!!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 my office is *supposed* to have air but, the europeans mainly germans seem to not like the air and want the windows open...what a waste of energy. it's aweful! And I don't catch the telepathic waves or if I did it sure is hard cuz I am so far away from a DQ in fact none are here where I can get to them at least in Germany and probably not in the EU. lol Heck there isn't even a freezer in this company to stick myself into nor get ice cubes. They don't put ice in the beverages. ugh! lol Bobbi Jo -- In Atkins_Support_List@y..., Vander Wert <vanderwertj@c...> wrote: it was 87 degrees in my office yesterday and it's almost > like the DQ sent a telepathic message to my brain that if ever there was a > blizzard day, yesterday was it.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Bobbi Jo, I really do need to get back to drinking my water. I have been very bad about that this week. I don't know if TOM affects the amount of water I drink or not, but it just hasn't sounded good this week. I am down a pound today though. So at least my blizzard didn't add to my weight, though I realize I would have had a bigger loss without it. But look at it this way, at least I am going in the right direction for a change! I just didn't think a 5 pound challenge was sufficient. 7.5 seems so much more impossible! LOL Jean 190/144/135 12/7/98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Woohoo Jean!! Going downwards!!! Our group for the course that just finished is going out to dinner tonight. We are being taken to an authentic chinese place by the 2 group members who are chinese (just came from China in May), so I'm thinking that I'll probably bounce up from soy tomorrow - it'll be in the air no matter how much I try to avoid it! But I'll be able to stick to low carb at least :-) Kirstie also on the downward slope :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Congratulations on your way down Jean. We just got back from Des Moines today. Boy was it hot there. We stayed at the Shereton by the airport. My hubby went to he gas and oil show. This morning is stormed and rained. Where do you live again??

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Laverne, You were supposed to let me know when you were coming to Des Moines, I would have gone up there to see you. Heck, I ran to Des Moines Wednesday night anyway. Wish I had known you were there. We talked about it once, but I forgot the dates. Drat.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Shoot I would have loved to of met you. I e mailed the list awhile back about going to Iowa and wanting to meet someone but I never got any replies. Darn it. The next time we go I will e mail you personally. \ Laverne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Laverne, You probably e-mailed the list during the time that our server at the college was having problems. We had a 48 hour period when I was out of the loop and didn't get any messages. In that case, you probably could not have reached me personally by e-mail either. Of course, I see so many messages that people are going to be out of town, that sometimes those get deleted before I read the entire thing. It seems like everyone is doing something fun, and I get envious and delete too soon. Sorry I missed meeting you. I was thinking that show was in September, so I still had some time.
