Trfielder, This book is amazing! I am feeling hopeful for the first time in years. My background is in Chiropractic and Holistic medicine. I fell away from it for a variety of reasons, which don't even matter right now. I always knew in my heart I would find my way back. And WOW, have I...

Hello Sara, I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances but I'm glad you are here. Not sure if I would consider myself a positive person right now, but I sure am trying. I'm sure you will run across a few of my rants and by all means feel free to set me straight, lol. We all understand...

I HATE cold weather, and I don't even like to use that word. I posted somewhere else on here today that it feels like the little urchins crept in last night and replaced my bone marrow with battery acid. I don't know how else to describe it. I seem to adjust eventually but I have issues every...

I have been having a rather hard time lately but seem to be coming out the other side, emotionally, anyway. (Buck up little Soldier, right, lol) I came across this quote and just fell in love with it. Wanted to share ... "Progress, however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great...

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts ... I am doing better. I've gone back to my roots and am reading a book about Orthomolecular Medicine ... taking the Holistic approach vs. conventional medicine. I spoke to my doctor this morning about weaning off of the chemicals and replacing them with...

I'm about half way thru the book and like what I'm reading so far. I feel like he has examined me and is reading me my own medical chart, lol. Feeling hopeful! I will keep you updated. Hope you are well!

Headed BACK to the natural route of treating this monster ... Has anyone read Dr. Murphree's Book "Treating & Beating FM & CFS" or tried any of his supplements? He is big on 5HTP, repairing Adrenal function, and massive doses of vitamins and minerals. He is not claiming to 'cure' it but make...

I am sooooo FRUSTRATED I just want to scream from the roof tops. I WANT OUT FROM UNDER ALL THIS CRAP! I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired and I know every person on here understands what I am saying. (She says with tears streaming down her face.) None of these meds work and they...

Hey Trfielder, I too have been having severe pain in my chest wall and now my rib cage. New, just in the last few weeks. Have you heard any 'popping' sound with yours?

Welcome Leona Faye, If you find the keys to those shackles, PLEASE do share, lol.

I also suffer from headaches to the point of vomiting. Like mweber, I think mine radiate from the triggers at the occipital (neck). My Pain Doc. recently gave me Baclofen (10 mg 3x day). I think it is helping. The staying hydrated is a wonderful suggestion also. Very important with treating...

My daughter also mentioned Osteoporosis to me this morning. I have a call in to the doctor. Just playing the waiting game now. This one is way worse than the last. It is affecting my breathing and making me fell sick to my stomach. I was just to the Gyno last week and he said I am at high risk...

Why do my ribs keep 'popping' and then staying excrutiatingly painful for weeks? I had one in my chest a few weeks ago and now another in my side. Both times I heard it 'pop'. I'm getting really tired of living in here! Ugggg Anyone else with 'strange' injuries?

The Rhuemy that diagnosed me said it isn't. However, my symptoms have seemed to increase in intensity over the years. I also have more different symptoms than when I was originally diagnosed. Now, is the disease itself progressive, is it just me getting older, or am I just tired fighting it. Not...

It just never ceases to amaze me how all these meds affect us differently. I tried Lyrica, however briefly, and it made me so stupid I could not function. That's a pretty big problem when you are still trying to work full-time. Totally agree with the idea of 'rescue meds". I take Cymbalta...
