NWR: does anyone have fibromyalgia?

I don't but just wanted to give you

omg... im so sorry... are you able to take anything...

thanx for the but i cant take meds at the moment because they need to stabilize my stomach issues first. so i dont know what to do!

what about wearing heating pads or something like that... or muscle relaxers....

its joints and muscle pain right???

I'm so sorry to hear this I hope you feel better soon! I would suggest going to a nutritionist, some work in doctors' office. Call your doctor tomorrow and ask the secretary if they can recommend a good nutritionist for you.

I have had it too since I was a teenager.
Some things that are helpful:
A good diet with lots of frutis and veggies, lean meats, whole grain, avoid sugar. I believe there is a book called the Fibromyalgia Cookbook you can buy,
- Massage- this has always helped me alot.
-Physical therapy especially if the pain is espcially bad in a certain area of the body.
- Heat such as warm baths ( jacuzzi jets are great, you can buy the kind that you attach to your tub at bed, bath and beyond), heating pads.
- Acupuncture
- Some people like pilates and feel that the slow movement is very soothing.

Once you work out your stomach issues there are a number of good medications that might help.
Good luck and I hope you start to get some relief from treatment.

No problem

so sorry to heart that. FIs mom has it. she told me that she had that condition even before it was accepted as a physical ailment (they used to treat that it was just a psychological/mental ailment) which was hard because no one believed her at first whenever she complains about muscle pains, etc... there are times that she's in a good mood but there are also times when she gets so down because of it.

i know she's been eating a lot of alkaline-rich foods (versus acidic foods) and drinking alkaline water and she's been feeling much better. i'll have to ask FI for more info if your interested. oh, and i know there's a book about it too (will have to ask FI's mom)

feel better

i'm sorry to hear that

first off, it was nice running into you at arianna studios ... i hope your MOH and MOB dress shopping went well

my mom had fibromyalgia but her symptoms were short lived....and i think one of my bms might have so I'll ask her any tips she might have and get back to you

im sorry you are dealing with this. i dont have much to say, but wanted to offer you hugs

oh! I'm so sorry! BIG for you!

im really sorry you are going through this - I am no help but I hope someone else can!

So sorry to hear this.
Sending you good wishes
