    symptoms all over my body

    Ah man, I didn't even think about my twitching eyelid. So I guess I do have twitching! Usually my eyelid twitches due to lack of sleep. My mom had it and she ended up getting botox for it because it was driving her crazy. My youngest seems to have it as well....

    Confused, just want some help managing muscle tension relief

    I use yoga and at bedtime an acupressure mat ("bed of nails"). The mat works well on my back. It does hurt which then sends signals to your brain. The brain then focuses on the pain from the mat, which stops pain anywhere else. It's like your brain initially over-reacts to cause pain everywhere...

    symptoms all over my body

    Hmmm...I haven't had twitching. It's more of a tingle or numbness down my legs and hands. Achy muscles like you have the flu. If I stay away from dairy, it helps.

    Sugar Replacement

    This is all so interesting. Suffice to say, a good friend of mine gave me some of her raw local honey to try and my body seems to handle small amounts fairly well. I have also tried local maple syrup and it was fine. I will stick with them for now in my baking for Christmas. I think our meal is...

    Sugar Replacement

    This all good to know. Yes, we have local honey and local maple syrup. I guess I will be trying them next with my elimination diet. If I don't hurt, I will look at Christmas desserts that use them as ingredients. And I will research ginger beer with honey. Thank you for the information! Much...

    Sugar Replacement

    I thought honey or maple syrup would still be considered a sugar that would cause a fibro flare? Am I wrong? Also, someone mentioned coconut sugar. Has anybody here been successful with honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar in their baking? (I am actually in the midst of a flare up because I was...

    Sugar Replacement

    I am trying to make a cranberry upside-down cake using a sugar-free substitute (erythritol and monk fruit). It tastes okay but has a terrible after-taste from the sweetener. Does anybody have a recommendation of a sweetener to try with NO aftertaste? Thank you.

    Is anyone using Gaba supplements successfully for sleep?

    Oh that is interesting to know. I started 5 htp a couple of weeks ago and I feel that it has helped my sleep. I have noticed though a bit of restlessness when I am at work. Kind of like a, "I want this day done so I can go home" feeling. I am not my usual peppy self. Now I am wondering if...
