Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi Joanne, Did you read the recent posts from Bee,about the memory foam mattresses-how bad they are. My sister bought a pillow top one-ended up it seemed to make her hurt more. I heard for years about mattress problems because of toxins in them. C > > Hi >  > The cigarette smoke is am issue for me. I do not know how much this is part of the illness. I know that when I smoked, smoking relieved my symptoms, especially around PMS time and it also helped me deal with the binge eating attacks. But it was a nightmare getting off the cigarettes, flare after flare after flare. I really beleived I would never be able to give up >  > i did actually give up smoking twice. First when I was 24 years old. Coping without the cigarettes was difficult and my weight ballooned after this. I gained 100lb >  > i had to stop though, I had broncitis, beleived I might die. I stopped drinking alcohol around that tiem too. gave both of these up to help me with my health and because I could not afford it >  > giving up alcohol was very easy since I did not like it anyway. The cigarettes were much harder, but I did do it. But then many years later when I was incredibly fat and sick of eatinf 24/7 I decided to smoke again. beleive it or not this did help my symptoms and it did help me stop binge eating. >  > BUT, a few years later once again I found i had chest problems and trouble with fatigue and general fibro feelings, plus anxiety depression etc. I tried once more to give up and again i was tomrmented with persistent fibro flares, over and over >  > This was when I started on the Atkins diet. I could not believe it but the Atkins diet actually helpe dme give up the cigarettes >  > This is why i tell folk, no matter what your addictions are, get on the diet and do it to the very best of your ability and then give up the addction, I truely beleive that any addiction can be overcome with hugh fat eating >  > Anyway, now I am a non-smoker again I can see clearly what folk that do not smoke go through. In the morning my lot get up and light up down stairs. I ahve told them all amillion times how much it affects me, Mmmmmmmmmmm >  > Anyway, at least they do open the door more now and when the weather is better they go outside but honestly I really think if they did not smoke it would make a massive difference to my health. But like I was, they are, selfish >  > Anyway, my way to cope with all this is to get out the house as early as I can and work outside. I know I get pollution affecting me, but at leat not much cigarette smoke, and the other thing I am noticing that is affecting me, electromagnetism!!! >  > My brother in law is debilitated with electromagnetism and to be honest this is very worrying. The governement intends to increase the level allowed and will be increasing it even further over the next few years >  > My brother in law has removed every concievable thing from his home, he now has no computer, no TV no microwave,a nd he only uses his cooker, and other eectrical items at the very minimum of usage. For most of the day the electricity is switched off at the mains >  > This is the direction I am looking in right now. Currently I use a laptop. When I get a new computer I am buying getting one that does not go on my lap. I do not have a phone, I said I might get one in April but now I am wondering if a phone on the computer might be a better bet. It will be cheaper and will avoid another electrical item being introduced to our home >  > I am also considering getting a memory foam mattress. Dr Mercola said the springs in our beds are working as antenai for all this stuff, and I am wondering if this could be desturbing the nerve signals in my back >  > My dad is extremely sensative to all this lot too, especially the cigarette smoke and the electromagnetism >  > Anyway, I will get off the poison stuff, now. I think it is often better to look at this the other way, how can we find more spece for nature and its reliving beauty in our lives. It has been nice today and I have been in the garden and as usual this helped me. I am just hoping I can get more of this this week >  > As lonely as it must get sometimes you really are doing the right thing living alone. When sorting finances and such I arrange my life so that when I am older I can. Honestly I love my husband but I never want another husband and I can honestly say I cannot wait for my children to move out LOL >  > God bless >  > Love Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi, I hardly know what to do. I bought new mattresses when I moved to Indiana-who knows but that made me worse. My couch(used) is some sort of foam I am sure. I was given a mattress when I moved back here-it is not a fancy one. I think about the carpet here too. I just try to air out my place, put some plants around, do the diet and the fat to encourage my body to detox, and have an air cleaner, but don't use it much.I use cotton sheets and blankets.
