Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hi all, I found a local Fibro support group and they have been wonderful. Each person takes turns talking about what works for them (as well as venting a little about the frustrations association with FMS/CFS). I have recently read a book by Neal Barnard, MD called Foods That Fight Pain. He discusses back pain, migraine pain, pain from diabetes, etc. There is also a chapter for Fibro. I followed his recommendations and you wouldn't believe how much they have helped the pain! So along with fluoxetine and zanaflex, I am nearer to " normal " than I was six months ago. I don't feel like playing tennis, mind you. But I am able to work three half days a week as long as I really rest the other two days, plus the weekend. Dr. Barnard's book helped me identify foods I was eating that were pain " triggers. " Believe it or not, bananas and apples are two of my worst food triggers. There is also anothe book I picked up at the library by Teitlebaum, MD called From Fatigued to Fantastic. He's got a web site also. Has anyone followed any of his recommendations??? Would like to know if anyone has had difficulty due to yeast overgrowth? I took a test in the back of Dr. Teitlebaum's book and it showed that I'm evidently most likely to have this problem. Thanks and good luck everyone. Sending you all lots of good spiritual energy! That's never in short supply! LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
