@2202katie WHO KNOWS? My Grandmas was Ill her entire life and ----Was treated like she had A Head ache. Some NEW DR's Think giving us massive amounts of nutrition
Will make us well---BUT--IF You gut-- does NOT process food, And your Nervous system is breaking down are $200. IV Vitamins going to help?
@2202katie There is a genetic predisposition to FM & to other related things. Autoimmune diseases can also travel alongside it, though not always. The youngest FM sufferer I have met is 11, it can happen at any age & to men as well as women. There is another great & informative video on FM here on Youtube from Stanford Medical Institute
: An Update On Fibromyalgia. It is a good place to start to understand what is going on in your body
@MsLindalorraine ---YES WORSE! And I thought that I could not Feel worse! Now White Blood CelllsHIGH, Mono reactivated, CMV, And my new painful favorite---Lymphedema! Stay away from THEIR Drugs, Do not let them open you up And HOPEFULLY your teeth-- Trigeminal does not start fighting you! BEST FHM
@MsLindalorraine YES!!! And 5 weeks later back in for 5 Days--PAIN from navel to thigh---NO REASON! Except blood pressure as 170/130-- And ER Nurses gave me MASSES amount of IV because the "THOUGHT" I enjoyed peeing ing the pan---THAT LEAKS--- and is disgusting. Now 3 years later I learn I hAVE LYMPHEDEMA--Even More pain. NO PROCEDURES AND NO NO Lyrica Cymbalta or ANY OF THE REST
Can you believe they actually printed out some crap from WebMD on fibro like I didn't already know what fibro was after years of having it? Anyone who wants to be my friend on fb, that would be great! I have actually lost friends because they thought I was too depressing
God Bless you Michelle! I just spent a week in a mental ward because when I went to the ER and said something like I feel like killing myself because of all this pain, that is where they stuck me. No one understood anything about fibro, My real bad side came out because I am sick of this shit - it is 2012 folks, come on!!!!! Aren't medical professionals supposed to be up on things?
that has a holistic approach. Request that he give you a stool test to test for yeast. If you have it, and I can almost gaurantee you do get on Diflucan for 3 months. The pain and fatigue will get a little worse before it gets better while the yeast is "dying off". Once that is gone and you are on your new way of eating.I PROMISE you will get your life back. Try it, you have nothing to lose! God Bless all of you and I hope you find what works for you. I have been there and I know its HELL.
I promise you if you completly cut out Wheat/gluten, nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, paprika), corn, sugar and dairy and eat only brown rice flour and other alternatives to the ones you have to avoid. Basically eat only what is grown and in the first section of your grocery store YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. I was bedridden with Fibro. I get it. I understand where you all are because I have been there and its HELL. Try this diet and be strict, give it 2 months. Also find a doctor
Take it a day at a time. I do not have it but have had friends and loved ones who do. My goal is to gather all the videos on my site for folks who have it.
i just had it recently.. is it passed on in the genes... i been researching like crazy i wish u guys were nearby i could really use the support...my friends n family don't understand.. they think im like a cry baby,, n trust me i have high tolerance for pain..but w this goin on this had been extremely painful...:( its driving me insane :'( every breath i take inhale n exhale hurts like a mother :s
I wish I had no pain. I have been in pain everyday since the pain started, even with being in 'remission' at least that's what my doctor says that it is. I live in a daily regiment that I am married to because I"m terrified of being back in the pain I had before. I hurt still, but at least I can tolerate it now.
i like your honesty and I don't see how pain isn't there with someone who has been told they have fibro? But, I am 38yrs old, have a family of four and am so thankful to God for them..have a baby girl puppy Maggie who helps me a ton so I agree with you on that. I would like to talk back and forth with ya somehow as it seems my friend level has kinda shrunk since this has happen to me (us)family as well. I need to listen again to see if you have some place to chat susiehayse@yahoo is me
@hayseygirl -- Chronic pain will leave you lonely--Unless we can educate DR's--FAMILY And Friends!
A friend actually said to me your pain is like "paper cuts"! YEAH RIGHT to my soul! i have had A FEW accidents! Over A cliff, Harley wreck -scraped off the pavement-- I was A Cowgirl- Many injuries
So I think I know the difference between pain. I am here for you. I check Facebook more often. I also have a blog with ggod info. PLEASE keep in touch
@hayseygirl --I dont chat because when I finally have energy to write back-- I REALLY want to connect--and chat moves way too fast for me. LOL Google michelle certonio-- I was a singer--I now paint-- do video and blog all to TRY TO BE ME--and make up for the time I am in bed
that person with fm and no pain.... just give it a little time, she/he will be screaming and crying for pain relief.. that is if they don't kill theirselves first.
I'm 30 and just got diagnosed with fibro 5 months ago. IBS, migraines, horrible allergies, heart attack- like chest pain, insomnia and fatigue are among of several trying symptoms that I have. I'm extremely sensitive to perfumes, lotions, fabric softeners and other scented things. It upsets me that people dont believe me and believe I am exaggerating when it comes to such things. I think all aspects of this illness should be given awareness. Thank you for your vids. :)
@hauntingallure dido that, what she said !!! Thank you Michelle for doing what your doing. It takes a lot of guts to do what your doing and I commend you for that. I've gotten to the point that I hardly talk about my Fibromyaliga on my blog anymore because I get accused for "being sick all the time" ... You would think the word " chronic " widespread pain would be definition enough. YES it's all the time, everyday 24/7. If anyone wants to feel the level of pain we do, they could set themselves
I watch your videos almost daily because I can relate to you so much. I appreciate the fact that you tell it how it is and not sugar coat things. If you get a chance watch my video and let me know what you think. I would really appreciate it. Keep on posting vids! You inspired me to tell my story and I have many more videos to come. I feel your pain and I hope you have some good fibro days in your future. *gentle hugs* - From hauntingallure-sporting the fibromyalgia chronicles.
Jazzy is what takes me from my pain, funny bird as he is, Jazzy has had a lot to do with my coping with this illness. Screw the hateful people, and how do we know that person even has it anyways? She would not say what she said if it were true. Keep doin what you're doing and don't let idiots like that get to ya. I have had to tell many medical professionals to shove it recently, but in the end, they are all ignorant and all they will ever be. Keep advocating for us. We need a voice.
She should consider her self lucky. But love the new puppy, so cute.....
As for fibro " We each own our own pain, an mine is different then your, an yours is different then mine". I would love to let someone else walk in my shoes. I know they would give them back too soon.
i'm soon to be 19, i just got diagnosed... I just had one question, and maybe you would know...Do you think fibro would affect my (future) children?

How would someone be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia WITHOUT pain?
I can't get a diagnosis after six months and I'm in agony every day.
