Hello Pamela, I just wanted you to know, that you are not alone. I am 28 years old, and have had fibromyalgia for about two years. It is a Horrible disease, & I have been on almost every medication out there, from Morphine to Oxycodone. I realized that these drugs were just NOT helping me, and they were making me tired. I too have a job, & I know that it's not easy, so I feel for you. I have been on meds that have made me gain weight, because I am also diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Just recently I have gotten off of ALL of my medications. Some friends of mine introduced me to HIMALAYAN GOJI JUICE, and I have been on that for almost a month. I was very leary, because when you are in so much pain, let's be honest, who thinks that some juice will work? But I am a TRUE Believer, because it has helped me in so many ways. I sleep better, my pain has decreased a lot, and I actually have energy, and to top it off I have lost almost twenty pounds, so I am anxious to see how I will feel in a couple more months. It seems that I am a lot like you, because I too used to be a cleaning fanatic, this disease may be with us for the rest of our lives, but I am NOT going to let it control my everyday life. I hope that you feel better soon. | |

I know your pain. I was exactly where you are now. I cured myself of fibro after 10 years. Pain free for 10 years now. I got off the drugs early on. So many side effects, lost 50 pounds right away. Started looking at other options. Acupuncture stopped the pain cycle. Only lasted an hour the first time, longer each time thereafter, ...diet, stress reduction, exercise, attitude, outlook all were important. Look at the areas of your life that are out of balance. I went on an extreme vegetarian organic diet which over time made a big difference. Don't give up. I know it looks grim some days - but you can do it! | |
