Does anyone on here suffer from Fibromyalgia?

[yeshuaslavejeff]

just looked at the symptoms of mercury toxicity
there are some symptoms that appear to be similar but fibromyalgia is different

The things mercury causes in the body are far ranging and 'different' in different people; it is still mercury and/or other toxins.....

The recovery , in any case, was the same as for most troubles - detoxify, detoxify, detoxify, and get good nutritional support. The body as Yahweh designed will almost always heal when this is done; we are beautifully and wonderfully made !

agree with ^
but have had fibro for long time; it's not going away

 

[mmksparbud]

that was great your friend was cured of mercury toxicity

just looked at the symptoms of mercury toxicity
there are some symptoms that appear to be similar but fibromyalgia is different

the rheumatologist that diagnosed me was an expert on fibromyalgia and mine was triggered by an car accident

am actually fortunate to be alive since I was hit on the hwy and my car totalled, so I try not to complain too much re fibro

It is quite common for fibromyalgia to hit after a trauma--it is sort of like the straw that broke the camels' back. There is also an extremely high incidence of child abuse amongst them, or a lengthy marital abuse--it is sort of like female eggs--there are only so many of them. And it seems like there is only soo much stress over a long period of time that the brain tolerates without short-circuiting. Fibro is a brain dysfunction--which can be triggered by some chemicals produced during high stress levels. Basically, that is exactly what our brains do--short circuit--sending out pain signals all over the place at anytime. There is now a blood test that tests for it, it just came about somewhere around 3-4 years ago and only some labs carry it. So far, those that have been "cured" of it--didn't have it to begin with, but something else that can closely resemble it. Even in our sleep--our brains do not go to sleep like normal people's brains do--ours remain lit up even at our deepest sleep levels, which they say is why it doesn't matter how much sleep we get, we are always tired--because the brain doesn't rest normally.

yes, the tiredness is weird cause you can "sleep" but wake up tired!


usually don't sleep much when husband travels
so one time when he came back from a trip, I slept for about 18 hr (all night and most of the day)
just couldn't move til slept that long (weird, huh)

That's what we and many others were told for decades.
All free now, free of fibro and other diseases also.

That's no guarantee for everyone, 100% of the time.... but there is a lot more hope for a lot more people thanks to not giving up on God's Promise "Seek and keep seeking, and you will find"....

p.s. some went to ear/nose/throat specialists (not recommending this) because they have prescription pain help that is non-narcotic, non-addictive and non-toxic as well as non-addictive with no known contra-indications other than if there's an allergy to it involved. Even though fibro is not really related to ear/nose throat most of the time anyway, their direction , or the methodology they use for their own patients, was very very useful for people with other kinds of pain also. With a few weeks or months searching, affordable too !

There are maybe millions of others who simply give up, and go along, and billions of dollars and reasons behind the push to give up.... and little push not to give up... except from those who trust in God , or sometimes - they just don't know enough to give up - they just keep going and keep hoping and find out the truth !

agree ^
think my body was "primed" for it/so accident triggered it

lot of changes (stress) in one yr
finishing up college, met/started dating husband, engaged 2 mos later, then planned wedding/married 4 mos later, started working two jobs after honeymoon, by Christmas forced overtime on one (1O hr/day; 6 am -4:30) came home and worked 4 hr (6-10 pm)second job, then couple mos later car accident

lot of changes, "good" stress, but stress nevertheless

COOL! (not making fun or light of this) .... just I forgot completely about stress relief and how much that helped..... ask at a health food store what the customers do for stress - amazing and simple and inexpensive

Yes--very often, the brain signals keep jumping around as soon a we try to relax, and the brain just keeps "talking" and won't shut up! It' been over 26 years for me, my friend that I have known since I was 14 has had it for far longer. She is vegan, has tried all sorts of things--nothing has worked. It has hit her sleep lately and she works herself really hard on the yard to try to tire herself out but that has not helped--that brain just keeps yaking all night! Then all of a sudden--she'll sleep--never knows when it will hit--I am the same way. She went to a very expensive college/medical SDA health center where she was "detoxed" and got all sorts of natural, organic foods--vegan--there was improvements in a few other things, nut not by much as she was already vegan and grew her own stuff. They started this after her husband got prostate cancer. He is free of it but they stayed with the vegan to keep it away. It was for about 6 weeks that she stayed at the health center, and cost a small fortune. She should have saved the money!!! It would have been worth it if she had not already been vegan and organic.

 

[mmksparbud]

I should add that though what she did not really help--her lifestyle was always a very healthy one for most of her life. She went vegan several years ago, and that I believe helped her pain levels all around, and kept her at a healthier and more active lifestyle. She was an operating room nurse, and her husband an dentist. They did a lot of traveling to foreign countries where they would work for free clinics to help those who had no dental care. They went every year in spite of their health problems. They keep going, and I think their diet, has helped them to keep going in a more active way than most with these health problems. She certainly has been able to remain far more active than I have as I have not been as good about it as she was. But our pain and sleep levels are about the same.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Remember and research the "mad-hatters", then chelation, and testing outside the usual protocols...... Remember also what the USA learned from Germany about this over 100 years ago - and for some profitable things use it..... There is a lot some other countries do that is almost unknown in the USA.... and no, it does not have to cost an outrageous fortune, IF (the most important) you can find an honest tester, usually licensed health care provider but not always and not necessarily.

wow, that's great! ^


being a parent has forced me to be more active, sometimes my body pays for it in a day or two but wouldn't give up parenting for anything; she's the best!

Shalom, and by all means if able get more medical opinions. At least if possibe see if perhaps there is a support group in town or online with people who were relieved of their diagnosis after some number of years, by good steady long term honest treatment with a doctor's care. (i.e. successful programs - they are out there available, but not advertised and almost never referred to ) There's almost never a reason to suffer more than ten or twelve years, and sometimes much less. (I think 7 years to 10 years is average) Sometimes more, unfortunately.

I was fortunate that I did not develop it until I was 55. I was also fortunate that it only took six months to get a real diagnosis. I totally agree with yeshuaslavejeff about what you should do now. Those things have really helped me, especially the support group. Also, read through this thread. As you will see there are a lot of different things which have helped us in our pain and insomnia. What works for one person might not work for another. The key is to keep trying things until you find what does work for you. A good doctor should be able to know what might work for you. I thank God daily for sending my doctor to me.

I am just racked with pain lately, Does stress make Fibro worse? I can't hardly move and I just plain hurt.

For me, stress does play a significant factor in my fibromyalgia pain. I try to avoid stress as much as possible. You have my sympathy and my prayers.

Thank you, No medicine helps, The Dr gave me Tramadol and it is like eating candy, It won't touch the pain at all. I very much dislike taking anything but I am desperate.

I agree that Tramadol, as well as ibuprofen and aspirin and tylenol don't touch my fibro pain at all. Have you tried gabapentin (aka neurontin)? That works very well for me. I also take duloxetine (aka Cymbalta) which I think also helps.

I tried Gabapenton and my BP went to 80 over 30 and I am 6ft 2in and a really big guy. The Dr accidentally overdosed me. He told me to take three times what was allowed on my first week and that was enough for me. [almost killed me] I refuse to try anything else from him.

It sounds like time to change doctors.
