I'm sick of it and it is time for a change!!

August 1, 2002

Hi all

Well...I am just sick to death of having fibromyalgia. I'm sick of being 33

years old and feeling like I am 70. It hit me hard last night that I just

cannot stand living like this anymore. There has got to be a solution.

I have read every fibromyalgia book I could get from the library (2 libraries to

be exact). There isn't much more to find out. I've read nutrition books,

fasting books, holistic healing books....everything. But, was I doing anything

WITH all that info? Nope. Gee, no wonder why I still feel like crap every

single day of my life.

Armed with all of this info, and info from some of the posts here, today I begin

taking care of me. I really think that having fibromyalgia as bad as I do right

now is a direct result of how badly I have been taking care of myself. How

badly I eat, how I don't exercise, don't get enough sleep and let stress and

life throw me out of balance.

Today I am fasting all day. There is a great book called " The Idiot's Guide to

Fasting " . I'm using it as my guide. I have been drinking lots of purified

water, juice, herbal tea and vegetable broth. I should just stay in the

bathroom!!! After a day of cleaning my body out, I've mapped out a healthy diet

for myself. Lots of fruits, veggies and lean meats. No more junk!!!! Is a bag

of chips worth even an hour of pain? Heck no! And that is what I am going to

make myself think about when I get junk food cravings.

I'm going to start walking and getting myself decent sleep. I made up herbal

teabags last night to drink before bed.

I am bound and darn determined that my life will start getting better today! No

drugs or anything else the doctors said to do is working, so why not try this?

Sure can't hurt me!

Anyone out there trying this? Or would like to join me in trying to heal

ourselves?

(who is headed to the bathroom....again!)
