Re: FMS....was Guaifenesin?

[Guest guest]

I am one of the odd ones......I have all 18 tender points and today every one of them is acting up and the meds just are not working. I have spent most of the day in tears because my face doesn't usually hurt as bad as my neck and back but I feel like I have been in a bar brawl.

Subject: FMS....was Guaifenesin?

Thissal, (love your name BTW!)The tender points test is generally the accepted test plus symptoms. But it's good to rule out SLE (Lupus) as well. I tested positive for Lupus but do not have an official diagnosis. I intend to reverse the test results because I know it is possible, even if Western Med. doesn't. I know two fellow students at school who have reversed theirs. Here is where the tender points are:http://www.immunesupport.com/fibromyalgia-tenderpoints.htmI'll see if I can find the symptoms list ... it presently resides on my dead CPU.

What are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?

While the symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia fluctuate from person

to person, there is one common symptom that all agree on - they ache

all over. The pain can feel like a deep bone ache, pains and needles,

or a stabbing or burning pain. Muscles may feel like they have been

pulled or overworked. There are times this pain is mild, others when

it is so severe that it becomes unbearable.

Along with pain, many Fibromyalgia sufferers report headaches, poor

sleep, fatigue, depression, and irregular bowel habits. Many others

simply describe their symptoms as " flu-like. "

========================================================

Thank you for that site Kit, but it looks like I don't have many of

the above symptoms -- no tender spots, headaches, poor sleep, fatigue,

depression etc. I tend to have a sore core -- from around the neck

area to belly button area, along with sensitive eyes -- when I don't

follow a pure diet. It used to be associated specifically with

nicotine and caffeine, but is less specific as I get older. *sigh*

I used to get this weird butterfly type rash -- when I'd get the flu

or cold, but haven't seen that type rash for a long time now?

Thankfully, I'm feeling great and getting better with my new food

habits.

Now if I can just figure out how to help my daughter with all the

small bumps on her face, and her stomach pains. That saliva test in

water showed she might have too much candida, so I should try to get

her to follow that remedy, but from what I remember, it's cutting down

on all sugars for a month -- near impossible for her.

I have them all, too...in multiples some days!! I have mostly

the Fibro neck BS. I sure hope yours is gone by tomorrow.

Got some epsom salts for your bath?

Hope you feel better soon, Kathy!

Hi Thissal,

That's good....the list I was thinking of is very comprehensive.

I'll post when I have it. The butterfly rash is one symptom of

Lupus...do you ever get it when you go in the sun? Probably, nothing

if you no longer get it. Good luck with your daughter, Kit

There is an article in the files on candida...
