Self Experiment - Gloria

[Guest guest]

Hi Gloria

I was doing the experiment for my sake alone.

I was just sharing what I found with the group because so many of us have Fibromyalgia problems.

I thought it might be possible that others may have the same findings.

If so, then we have all discovered a good thing.

I am continually cutting back on my meds, and diet, to spare and preserve my liver longer.

I have stopped my anti-D's totally, and have cut way back on everything else.

I dont even take my pain meds often, and only when Im in tears.

This HCV has put the scare into me.

Im fighting it any way that I can think of.

For them to diagnose you you have to have 11 of those 18 pressure points... I have 16 out of 18. The only part the doesn't hurt is my elbows. And those spots are painful to pressure at all times... Good experiment Don.. Maybe I should

switch to Diet Coke again.Teri

Hi everybody

I have been trying an experiment on myself for the last few days.

I have been eating more sugar products, and measuring my Fibromyalgia pain levels the following day.

I just wanted to know if the two were related in me.

Results:

I definately experiance more Fibromyalgia pain when I eat sugar products the day after.

There are 18 major points on the body that Pain-docs check for pain.

[in me there are about a million.]

Anyways, not only did I experiance more pain in the points in the picture above from eating sugar products, but I experianced more pain overall. [Muscles, joints, headaches, feet, hands, back, etc.]

- My neck is really sore, like someone karate chopped me, which fits with the above pictures pain points.

- The base of my skull is on fire.

- My elbows and knees hurt like hell.

- Even my hair seems to hurt, or the aliens are overloading me with messages. LMAO :-)

I cannot blame this pain on the weather. It has been sunny and warm here in Kansas for a week. No rain.

Not only have I had more pain, but I have experianced some other issues too.

- Constipation

- Brain fog

- Kidney pain

- Stomach bloating

- General weakness

- Depression

*** These things may or may not be caused by the increase in sugar, or may be related to HCV, or some other cause.

There are also articles warning about sweeteners and HCV.
