Fibromyalgia sufferers…?

Question by Simoriah: Fibromyalgia sufferers…?
I obviously don’t need to talk about my severe, chronic pain and fatigue and everything else that goes along with Fibromyalgia, to other Fibromites… but I “do” want to ask the most popular question among Fibro sufferers…

First of all, I’ve tried all kinds of things, as most other Fibro sufferers have… OTC pain killers, prescription pain killers (primarily Tramadol, but I literally almost died after taking that, and I refuse to take morphine or any other opiates, because I’m afraid of the possibility of becoming addicted… even if the chance is small), muscle relaxers like Flexeril, all kinds of different sleep aids, and I’ve gotten massages and acupuncture and have gone to the chiropractor religiously, but nothing has even “touched” the pain.

I haven’t tried any opiates, as I said before (aside from Tramadol, which is a synthetic one), and I haven’t tried antidepressants (because I don’t actually believe that they could work for a condition such as Fibromyalgia), and I haven’t tried Cymbalta or Lyrica yet, because I’m afraid that the side effects will make the Fibro even worse (and it won’t end up helping anything), which is what I’ve heard has happened to many people.

So, I just want everyone’s $ 0.02… what have you tried that has actually “helped” with your pain?

I’m not concentrating on any of the other symptoms right now… I just want to lessen the pain, but of course in the healthiest, safest way possible. I’ve lived with it for too many years, and I just want to be a normal woman in her mid-20’s! :\

Dr. Joel Fuhrman says:
Fibromyalgia can disappear within a few months

Fibromyalgia is a disease highlighted by discomfort, pain and tenderness all over the body. The cause is unknown. Typical treatments involve pain medication and anti-depressants used to aid sleep. Better sleep has been shown to be of benefit.

I have been utilizing a high antioxidant, acrlyamide-free diet for many years with marked success. Acrylamides are toxic substances produced by baking and frying carbohydrates. The diet-style I recommend for fibromylagia patients is rich in natural plant foods especially organic berries and green vegetables and restricted in animal products and baked grains. Vegetable soups and steamed vegetables are encouraged. Fibromyalgia patients routinely get well, and they get well quickly.

Studies in the medical literature support this method of treatment.[ii] Though the researchers do not seem to have the experience and understanding of why what they are doing works, the effects are dramatic.

Similar to the nutritional treatment of most diseases, it is not one photochemical compound or the removal of one toxic habit that works; it is the symphonic combination of removing multiple nutritional stresses along with the addition of multiple beneficial nutritional compounds that results in consistent and sustained results. The high intake of polyphenolic compounds such as quercetin, myricetin and kaempherol, and the high intake of lignans and bioflavonoids are just a few of the hundreds of nutrients with unpronounceable names that can only be obtained in large amounts from a diet rich in natural plant foods.

Many women suffer chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Chronic disability, fatigue and painful bodily symptoms affect over 5 million American women. Tender spots most commonly occur in the neck, spine, shoulders and hips. Headaches, widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue are epidemic. These complaints have a combination of causes, but they are primarily caused by decreased oxygenation of tissue, excess deposits of waste products in the tissues with resultant inflammation and nutritional deficiencies. The Eat To Live program of nutritional excellence is an effective remedy for these common complaints. I have treated hundreds of patients with chronic migraine headaches, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and have seen rewarding and predictable results. It is the rare exception that a complete recovery cannot be achieved.
