Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 HI ALL, I GOT THIS TODAY FROM MY SHEEHANS GROUP, SO CHRISPY IS LEGIT AND FROM DOWNUNDER, LOL....DO ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT AND HAVE YOU TRIED IT? CINDY BlankHi All, especially , After the stress and strain you've been under of late no wonder you're in pain. I know you have mentioned having Fibromyalgia (spelling?) and so have many others in this group. It seems to go hand in hand with being Hypopit. Unfortunately most doctors here don't seem to believe in it. I asked my doc whether I could have it as I have suffered increasing all over pain for a couple of years now. It is worse in my hands and they ache all the time. Also the pain in my legs and feet is getting bad now and at night I ache all over. The pain gets so bad I often wake up several times a night and then can't get back to sleep through the pain. The doctor didn't seem to think I had this problem as he said the pain is usually worst across the shoulders, which isn't the case with me. My husband has suffered all over aches and pains for years. He does suffer gout but the medication for this doesn't ease the all over aching. Now I will get to the point. I think I've found a cure. I order alternative medicines through the Internet, such as St. 's Wort and calcium supplements. The company I deal with have a new product called Fibro Muscle Soothe (Oral Powder) After must procrastination I decided it was worth a try. IT WORKS. Both and I felt the aching and pain ease within a few days of taking the stuff, twice daily. Now the only thing that wakes me up is 's snoring and I can get off again as I'm not in pain all the time. I just wish it worked on the severe arthritis in my hip. Now I know you don't have the same Golden Glow natural medicine company over there, so I will list the ingredients in case any of you want to see if there is something similar you can get there. Magnesium amino acid chelate 75mg (equiv. Magnesium 15 mg) Sodium chloride 25 mg. (equiv. Sodium 9.8 mg) Potassium Aspartate 25 mg. (Equiv. Potassium 5 mg.) Zinc Gluconate 38.5mg. (Equiv. Zinc 5 mg.) Copper Gluconate 250 micrograms (Equiv. copper 35 micrograms) Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate 1.5 mg (Equiv. Manganese 487.5 micrograms) r,s-alpha Lipoic Acid 20 mg Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vit B1) 12.5 mg. Nicotinamide 50 mg Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6) 25 mg. Glutamine 250 mg. Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride 25 mg Selenomethionine 32.5 micrograms (Equiv. Selenium 13 micrograms.) Inulin 336.26 mg. Excipients Include: Malic Acid 625 mg. Phew that was hard slogger typing all that gobbledegook. It states that this product does contain Selenium which is toxic in high dosages and not to exceed 100 micrograms daily. The twice daily dose is way below this level. I don't know which ingredients work the best in this stuff or whether it is just the well balanced combination. All I know is that it really relieves the pain. Both and I are very sceptical of many of these alternative medicines, but all we know is this one really works for us, as does St 's Wort. has suffered unexplained pain for years and years and only wishes this medicine was available long ago. It's great! Struth now I sound like an advertisement! Hope there is something similar over there for those of you who are in pain.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 From my sister Fibromyalgia ARTICLE: Fibromyalgia By Jaynes, MH Fibromyalgia (or " FM " for short) is a complex, chronic condition which causes widespread pain and fatigue as well as a variety of other symptoms. The name fibromyalgia comes from " fibro " meaning fibrous tissues (such as tendons and ligaments), " my " meaning muscles, and " algia " meaning pain. Unlike arthritis, FM does not cause pain or swelling in the joints. Rather, it produces pain in the soft tissues located around joints and in skin and organs throughout the body. Because FM has few symptoms that are outwardly visible, it has been nicknamed " the invisible disability " or the " irritable everything " syndrome. The pain of FM usually consists of diffuse aching or burning described as " head‑to‑toe " , and it is often accompanied by muscle spasm. Pain can vary in severity from day to day and change location, becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used the most (i.e., neck, shoulders, and feet). In some people, it can be so intense that it interferes with the performance of even simple tasks, while in others it may cause only moderate discomfort. Likewise, the fatigue of FM also varies from person to person ranging from a mild, tired feeling to the exhaustion of a flu‑like illness. Although the exact prevalence of FM in the U.S. population has not been thoroughly studied, conservative estimates place the total between 4 and 6 million. Other experts believe the true number is closer to 10 million. An estimated 80% of sufferers are women, most of them working age. Symptoms and syndromes associated with FM: Pain, fatigue, stiffness, headaches, facial pain, sleep disturbances, cognitive disorders, digestive complaints, genito‑urinary problems, paresthesia (numbness or tingling), disequilibrium, restless leg syndrome, sensory sensitivity/allergic symptoms, itchy, dry, or blotchy skin, depression, and anxiety Causes: The causes of FM are so far unknown by the medical community. There are several factors that may play a role in FM and other related diseases (chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, and Lymes disease). Contributing factors may include: Increased use of chemicals in foods Home and personal products Decreased nutrients in food or lack of good food in diet Acidic body chemistry caused by poor diet Lack of exercise Exposure to environmental toxins Exposure to vaccinations Yeast infections Exposure to pharmaceutical drugs including antibiotics Lack of sleep Herbal Therapy: Vitalerbs: multivitamin to provide the body with increased nutrients Jurassic Green: alkanalizes the body creating a healing internal environment Immuncalm: Strengthens the immune system but does not over-stimulate it. Skullcap: the best nerve food available Lower Bowel Formula: helps the body cleanse the lower bowel Kidney Formula: aids in eliminating wastes from the kidney and urinary tract Liver & Gallbladder Formula: helps cleanse the liver and gall bladder Blood Stream Formula: helps the body cleanse the blood Other Therapies: Massage is effective against some muscle and tendon pain, relieves tension and stress Hydrotherapy is effective against pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I came across this article and thought of you so thought I would shareA Natural Approach To Healthy Living By Lucinda LPNHC Facing Fibromyalgia So you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? Bummer, because this is a painful and obnoxious disease. Eighty percent of the fibromyalgia patients are female. It has been classified only in the past 10 years as a disease and still somewhat of a mystery to science. I would suggest that a disease that is as common as asthma needs to be put on the forefront of research. Some studies show a link between Clinical Depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Espstein-Barr virus, Mononucleosis and of course Candida albicans, anemia, parasites and my own opinion and observations seems to connect it to environmental contact with chemicals. (but you know what they say about opinions don't ya?) What is known is that there is a deficient amount of magnesium in the body and an inablility to absorb magnesium. The diet should have magnesium intake increased. Magnesium sources are fish, apples, apricots, avocadoes, nuts, brown rice, soybeans, bananas, kelp, black eyed peas, figs, grapefruit, peaches. Alot of herbs are high in magnesium like alfalfa, bladderwrack, catnip, chickweed, dandelion, horsetail, peppermint. Another deficiency found in the Fibromylagia victim is the lack of Maltic Acid. This can be found in fresh apples or in a supplement form. Did you notice that apples have magnesium and maltic acid? An apple a day?..... You may want to curtail your consumption of the nightshade family vegetables like green peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, and white potatoes. The reason for this is because they contain solanine that interferes with the muscle enzymes and this can cause pain and discomfort. Sleeping patterns and insomnia seem to be an issue also. You might try valerian root and skullcap capsules at night or chamomile tea before bedtime. Try to maintain a regular program of moderate exercise. Going for a daily walk or mild stretching exercises working up to a low-impact aerobic exercise will help. To overexert yourself can do more harm than good so take it slow building up your activity level. There is also another treatment called Myers Cocktail named after Dr. Myers of s Hopkins University. It is a combination of IV vitamins and minerals. It is reported that over 80% of the patients get relief from pain after a few treatments. To find a MD near you that may be able to help contact The American College for Advancement in Medicine at * The information in this article should not replace the advice of your medical practitioner.
