    Cooking with fibromyalgia, what have you been eating lately?

    Thank you all for sharing! I wanted to share what has really helped me in case it helps anyone else. Before I had been following a rough migraine diet avoiding msg, aspartame, nitrates, and the like, (along with avoiding eggs, milk, gluten and nuts, because I am very allergic to those), but...

    Prednisone and Enbrel

    Thank you for the reply. It is a short term prednisone for asthma. Just a week or so, and by now a low dose. But I have been on it before and had my pain improve. I'm not on Enbrel anymore. Thanks for the info, though.

    Prednisone and Enbrel

    Hi! Wishing everyone comfort and Happy Mother's Day to the mother's! Here's my question: I'm pretty sure my doctors are right that I have fibromyalgia based on my symptoms, except two things still puzzle me. Does anyone else get better on prednisone? This has happened several times for me over...
