Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 And I am on Lyrica.  I was on 450mgs a day. I asked my doctor about lowering my mgs and he wouldn't. He said that I would be in severe pain and that it would take a long time to get it under control. (this was only a month or two ago).  Anyway, I don't need him to lower my mgs. I did it anyways. I lowered it to 100 mgs. I still feel pretty good. This is a lot of info and I always save this valuable information.

If this is the case then this explains why our high glutamate probably becomes more normal when we are in ketosis  i have read that if a person has high glutamte that also have high substance p, the two increase a decrease together. So if what i am saying is correct and the GABA is reducuing the glutamate by using it up to make itself, then the substance p is decreasing because there is now low glutamate  Then from what i have read further GABA works as a key neuron, an organiser if you like, it then balances out the neurons we are short of like the dopmaine seratonin and noradrenaline and possile others we do not know about  To do the diet you do not really need to understand all this but i am posting it so that you might have some idea why when folk who have fibro do Bees diet they can get off all their meds even Lyrica  Do not worry if this is not sinking in, I will keep posting this stuff and I usually end up repeating myself, if you just do a little hear and there eventually this will all make more sense to you and when you see it working in your own life then all this will make even more sense  Love Joanne  To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Monday, 29 August 2011, 15:43 Subject: Re: Lovell: More on the spine and fibro  I have an inversion table that has helped me immensely with my neck and back. As I get older I noticed that I can't be turned upside down as often. But then again, I don't get on it like I use to. Just occasionally.  Oh, and I did get an inch back to my height. ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 10:06 AM Subject: Re: Lovell: More on the spine and fibro  Joanne, I think chiropractors are wonderful. I go occasionally but not as often as I should.  At one time I was doing therapy for my neck because it didn't have a curvature to it. I know my neck and shoulders do feel better if I will take the time to lay down on the bed and let from about my shoulder blades up hang off the bed with my hands touching the floor.  I usually do this about 2 or 3 minutes, sit up and do another 2 or 3 minutes.  If you have neck and shoulder problems you might want to try this.If I start having headaches or backaches I go to the chiropractor and he fixes me right up.
