    Supplements good or bad ?

    I take vitamin D3 and iron which don't necessarily noticeably help BUT when I am off them I notice a difference. I have been on rhodiola for a few months and don't see an improvement in symptoms but rather see an improvement in my ability to complete tasks regardless. I am also taking three...

    My Aching Muscles

    medicmurphy ya it sure sounds like we are experiencing the same thing. I try to explain it to my doctors and they just say it's RLS even though I insist it's a different sensation. It's a newer symptom for me. Also meant glutes not gluten, oops.

    My Aching Muscles

    I have so many different muscular symptoms...notably tightness, spasms, twitches, and a weird problem at night that is like RLS but not actually RLS. I think it is originating in my gluten and also have problems with my traps. Anyone out there doing anything for their muscles besides...

    Avoiding Gluten

    Catamountgurl: Depends on what you mean by carbs. I avoid sugar so I avoid most fruits and starchy vegetables but don't avoid ALL carbs. DK Engineer: Not saying it would help but if I cut out gluten, dairy, or sugar alone I see no improvement in my symptoms. I have to cut out all three...

    Legs

    Sleep (aka. desperation)

    I need any and all advice when it comes to sleep. My other symptoms are controlled enough that they do not interfere with my ability to function as a human being. HOWEVER, I cannot sleep during normal times and I am DESPERATE. I go from sleeping between 9am and 4pm some months to 3am to 11pm...

    For the outdoorsy types...

    Hi Sylvia, thank you for the reply. I've heard about the coloring books and think I might give that a try! Right now, I'm trying to find different ways to be involved with my interests. I'm thinking of starting a blog where I take scientific articles and turn them into popular articles, or...

    For the outdoorsy types...

    Anyone out there love hiking/kayaking/backpacking etc? I used to love to be outdoors and very active until I started having health problems at 15. Now, I am 21 and for years have had a sense of identity loss because I have been unable or afraid to do what I once did weekly. I'm trying to get...

    Who to believe?

    I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...
