Re: Welcome to Fibromyalgia-intro

[Guest guest]

Age range: mid forties

Male/female: female

What are the symptoms? Pain, stiffness, headaches, nausea, tendonitis, fog,

too many to list.......

Has your illness been diagnosed? yes about 5 years ago

How long did you suffer before you got help? at least 5 years after I found

out everyone didn't feel this way..... maybe 20 before that.

Is there a time that you can remember when it started? Yes....

Some of us have found lack of exercise we are overweight. Have you found

this to be a problem also? Yes but also through unhealthy eating...looking

for something to ease the pain....maybe chocolate would help....lol. Have

recently changed my eating habits, am losing weight and pain has lessened.

Are you on disability? no...I have returned to work part time after much

hard work to reduce the pain

If you are any pointers for others trying to get on disability? no....

What have you found that helps ease the pain, warm baths, medications etc.?

Good sleep, warm baths, soft music, tea, breathing lavender, soft light,

exercise (walking, swimming, stretching) massage, no sugar, low

carbohydrates, setting boundaries, valuing myself, prayer, laughter, good

friends. I use a lot of moist heat, too.

Do you have sleep problems? How do you deal with it?

Yes. I take Trazadone. Also I get ready for bed a couple hours before I want

to sleep....bath, soft light, nice aromas, no housework or anything to

stimulate my mind. I look at Garden magazines or draw or watch a comfy old

feel-good movie. We keep the noise level down in the house and I never talk

to relatives in the evening.

Do you have family that understands your illness? Yes my husband and one

daughter. I have one close friend who understands and accommodates. I am

content with a layer of invisible insulation between me and the rest of the

family.

Some have found certain foods causes problems with CFS or Fibro, have you?

SUGAR and CARBS

What type of Doctor have you found that has helped you the most? An MD

interested in Fibromyalgia

Hi! I'm new here. My name's Tami and I've had CFS since 1982.

I was diagnosed with Candida Albicans (systemic Yeast) -- tests

off the scales -- in 1988. Diet and the drug Nystatin did almost

nothing to help (staying on that diet is very difficult when you're

lacking energy). I've had the most luck in last 4 years with Energy

Healing (Reconnective Healing: www.drericpearl.com, and Reiki

Healing -- do a search for Reiki -- thousands of practicioners and

they're everywhere; Reconnective helped me the most tho).

And now I'm trying something called a HERBAL REPAIR where they

soak your feet in herbs -- drawing the toxins out and pulling the

needed herbs in huge amounts up and into your body. (Herbal Repair

has helped people with both Fibromyalgia and CFS -- however it's

a small thing -- just handful of practicioners and nothing online).

I'll keep you informed to my experience with Herbal Repair and how

you can contact practicioners.

Thanks Tami Freedman (Chatta TN)
