Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi , I have a pretty bad case of FMS but am slowly getting better. It came on strong about two years ago right before I had my implants out. Since then I have been up and down with it. Somedays I am in a lot of pain and some days not so bad. I am currently getting a pretty wierd treatment but it seems to be working better than anything else I have done. I have detoxed to the max. I am now getting bee venom treatments. I am lucky to have a practioner here that does it. She takes out the stinger from bees and gently taps them into different acupuncture points. The venom (also the pollen, royal jelly and propolis) all have strong anti inflammatory properties and strong anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungal properties as well. I did some research and this has been used as a treatment for arthritis and rhuematism for centuries. It was used extensively in the US before the advent of steroids. My lady went to Japan to study this treatment BUT there are apitheripists all over the country who will give you bee venom treatments. If you go on line you can find them through the apitherapy website. I have had three treatment so far and feel a lot less achy and the extreme back pain has lessened considerably. I am going to go for at least three months. This lady treats a lot of MS patients and says that it takes a long time but some actually go into remission. I have talked to a few of her FMS patients and they say they have improved immensely. You have to make sure you are not allergic to bees though before you start. I feel good about this because it is totally natural and does not have the side effects of anti inflammatory pain drugs and steroids.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I was told i had FMS, as I had all aymptoms, and 11 of the 18 trigger points by a rheumy and a chiropracter. I was told this with my implants in, and shortly after. Since doing Dr Lowe's metabolic program www.drlowe.com with higher thyroid meds(esp t3) to overcome cellular resitance, and myofasial massage to the tender points by a chiro- almost all fms sympotoms are gone, and I only have two tender points left. Dr Lowe believes most FMS cases are due to under regulation of thyroid hormones, whether or not blood work shows it.He has a huge wellness center based on Fibromyalgia, and has dealt with FMS for years, and written two books on metabolic issues and FMS. If you have FMS, I would just look into it, very informative. >From: jaylow2100@... >Reply- > >Subject: Re: Re: FMS-- >Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 12:08:23 EDT > >Hi , > >I have a pretty bad case of FMS but am slowly getting better.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 , thanks for the info. I never heard of this. Please keep the group updated on how your treatment progresses. I may look into this myself at some point. Thanks. Hugs, kathy > Hi , > > I have a pretty bad case of FMS but am slowly getting better.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I had myofascial release therapy for 3 months and it seemed like it made me worse. The therapist, who is highly trained and also does craniosacral therapy, said that she didn't think it could still be a herx. I was disappointed. I still think that until I can get the imflammatory aspect of my " illness " under control, I will continue to have tons of muscle spasms and resultant muscle tightening and tendon tightening and thus pain from that. That seems to be my main problem right now. It is just so frustrating because it seems like everything I do to detox incrases the spasms. So does the antibiotic therapy. So do most supplements and yeast killers and clorella. So I guess I just have to tough it out the best I can until something gives!! I do know that myofascial release should help fms though. I haven't addressed the thyroid issue myself yet, though at some point I probably will. I have normal test values and just don't feel like fighting the docs on this one or going to see a specialist that requires travelling. Where is your specialist located? What does he do to tell if you need thyroid treatment despite normal values? I am thin so the weight isn't an issue. I certainly have a low body temp though. Please let me know if you think I should go to this specialist. Thanks kathy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 kathy, his name is Dr Manakas in Valperaiso, Indiana. I drive about an hour to see him, I would check him out, if you near. Arent you in IND? You def wont be fighting anything with him-he is very detailed, compassionate and will try hid damnest to find out what is going on. Low body temp is not good, thyroid usually, mine is finally on the up! Hey! Also, Myofascial therapy didn’t help either until I went on the proper amounts of thyroid.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thank you . I guess what I was trying to ask was if the salt water flush has a cleansing effect on the liver. I am trying to find a substitute for my fourteen year old son. I just don't know if he would do well with a coffee enema but I really feel that he badly needs liver detox. I thought I would do juices with the salt water flush if that would work. What do you think? Love, Anita Re: FMS-- > > > >Thanks. I am in peoria il. How far away do you think that is. It is >funny that you should say that myofascial didn't work for you until >you were being treated. I know a woman who told me she went through 2 >years of getting worse on antibiotic therapy until she got her female >hormones addressed. Certainly something to look into. Can you give >me this dr. telephone number? thanks >Kathy > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
