Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 In a message dated 3/12/2005 5:31:59 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, health writes: COMPLETE NUTRITIONI know this was discussed and responded to last week, but could someone give me the details on this?I'll mention again that I have fibromyalgia (with chronic fatigue), restless leg syndrome, chronic insomnia, IBS, Meniere's Disease (mild form at this point). I feel rotten most of the time and HAVE to work in order to have health benefits. My husband was laid off 3 years ago and has recently landed a contract. We are starting to get back on our feet, but contracts don't offer medical insurance.I am ready to do anything to feel better. I am so exhausted that I can barely manage to get to work and home again. I experience nausea most days and have no energy (is that redundant?) I crash right after dinner and might sit in the recliner before going to bed usually around 7 pm. I get up around 4:45 to go to work.I would appreciate any help and/or advise anyone can give me. I print off many of the posts/suggestions to read later in the day. I need the energy to read them and make use of hte information.Thanks so much. I enjoy this group.mary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi , I can relate. because I have all of the above except the Meniere's. I also had chronic sinusitis so bad that I had surgeries for it. Of course all of them are part of the Fibromylagia. Eight years ago, I was almost crippled with it. I had air casts on my ankles, walked with a cane, was exhausted from lack of sleep, couldn't go anywhere because of the IBS. It truly was awful. I was a nursing supervisor in a hospital, and eventually, I got to the point that I could not work. I couldn't do much of anything. Some nights, I couldn't even get upstairs to go to bed. The worst part is, that because you look normal, no one can believe that you are so debilitated. I looked normal, except for the fact that I had gained weight, because of fatigue, and inability to move my joints and muscles. I think some people thought I was just lazy. I tried everything traditionally. My medical bills were outrageous. Since medicine had nothing for me, I decided to help myself, and do it naturally. Now, I am fine. I do have a rare occasional flareup, but I can generally determine why that happened, and change it. For the most part, I am back to normal, and am not restricted at all any more. If you are interested, I will try to remember everything I did, and what I am still doing, and write it all down. Just email me.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I also have all of the above cept the meneirs at least not diagnosed. I also have perniceous anemia and when the IBS was so bad I couldn't go more than 20 feet from a washroom the doc sent me to a specialist who diagnosed me with PCD. All of these things have caused me to become severely agorophobic and I never go out any more. I also suffer from sever depression.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Wow, how awful. I had my gall bladder out and my IBS presents in mostly constipation, some unanounced diarrhea (no warning) Is there anything that can be done for you at all? mary Post Cholysystectomy Disease. Which means that since I had my gall bladder out my body cannot handle the bile any more and I have straight diarhea......anywhere from 1-10 times a day, and it hits suddenly and is very painful....much worse than the IBS that I originally had all my life. Kathy L For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I have to mix a powder in orange juice and this binds the bile. I can at least be a bit closer to normal at home......but I still never go out.
