Boy do I know how you feel! That is why it is so very important to

have support groups like this that validate our symptoms and give us

great ideas to try. Think of it this way----I would rather NOT be

diagnosed with something specific like MS. That way I always have

more hope that I can get rid of it. The truth is, there are many

many forms of autoimmune illness and it really doesnt matter what

you name them (except for disabiltiy and I realize how important

that is). What is important is reclaiming our health. Even if you

were diagnosed with lupus, ms, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma,

etc.--all of those diseases have no cure according to the medical

establishment. They would most likely get you on some immune

suppressants and do nothing to help you actually fight the problem.

I find doing my own research has been far more helpful then getting

a diagnosis. I was diagnosed with fms 20 years ago. In that 20

years I haven't been given one helpful medicine or piece of advice

by mainstream docs.

The more I research the more I become convinced that we are on the

right track with juicing, cleansing, killing off pathogens, etc.

The problem is that for most of us, it isn't a straight line from

start to finish. We have many relapses, herxes, steps backwards,

etc. But at the same time, most of us would acknowledge that we are

moving inexorably forward. Sometimes almost unnoticably so!!

Like you, I do many weird things my husband just shakes his head

at. It really is kind of amusing. My kids think I am nuts. I

drive an hour just to get a gallon or two of raw milk! I eat

organic whenever I can and am always touting something they don't

want to hear. Gratifying enough, now my 23 year old son has picked

up my way of life. When we visited him in texas, he was shopping at

the Whole Food store and taking supplements, etc. I was so proud!!

Hang in there and continue to believe the best about your symptoms--

that you can and will get better over time!! By the way, I saw your

pic in the photo section and you look so young, beautiful and

healthy! Believe that you will someday feel as good as you look!

Hugs,

kathy
