  • i have fibromyalgia t

  • My mom watches this show every day and every day she calls me thinking she has some symptoms she seen off this show...This show makes hypercondriac's out of people. Finally I told her to quit watching this show

  • FMS is nothing but waste basket diagnosis, Patients either won't or can't accept that their sysmptoms are triggered or caused by emotional issue that manifest as vague pain. NOT to say they're faking any more than a person with a panic attack "fakes" a rapid heart beat or sweating, but the cause is emotional.

    On the other hand, there are no new pain syndromes and accepting the label of FMS let's doctors off the hook for not searching for the true cause of the pain.

  • @ReviewCam And you must be a physician...

  • @ReviewCam Explain that to babies born with or children and professional athletes who get fibro. Stop making excuses for something you can't or don't want to understand or care about.

  • Me, one of my sons and our dog was stricken with fibromyalgia in 1989 after I was bedridden for 6 months. I was depressed but I felt the sickness was making me depressed, not depression making me sick. I saw a psychologist and he said, "I believe you are depressed because you are sick" It's been 23 years now. I continue to push myself but have what I call relapses although I am never 100%. 60mg of Cymbalta within a few hours instantly changed my life. I'm from San Diego, CA. where it all began.

  • I am starting a channel to bring people with&without illness together so they can help eachother and share experiences, also i want to show that you can be positive even if you are disabled, life is tough when you are ill. Youtube helps me connect to the world as i cant go out and do much for myself but theres so much negativety and arguing. I would like to make people laugh and raise awareness about the hardships of disability&bring people together, i can speak personally about fibromyalgia.

  • From experience, we still do not have treatment for fibromyalgia. Acupuncture could be the snake oil around.

  • Acupuncture is bullshit.

  • Fibromyalgia may be linked to stress from constant exposure to electromagnetic fields. People have found relief by minimizing the effects of electropollution.

  • @fibromyalgiarelief1 - You're off into tinfoil hat area there. The Sun produces far more electromagnetic field strength than technology. You're basically claiming you'd have to live in a Faraday cage for the rest of your like.

  • @frostek Not necessarily so. There is evidence that shows that living near high tension electrical wires increases your chances of certain diseases. Many home appliances emit microwaves, and nobody really knows what the effects these have on the body. As an FMS sufferer myself, and yes it is a REAL disease, I would look towards anything that might improve my symptoms, no matter how absurd they may seem.

  • I smoke around half gram of cannabis a day for 2 years now and I remember how painful it was to live with FM before i used to smoke it, It's not the solution for all my FM symptoms,but it is for several ones. I sleep deeper, wake up feeling the same as before I started using it, but throughout the day I feel less pain,better appetite, i can eat well 4x a day now, I'm half as anxious as i was before, i am way more sociable,my digestive and urinary systems work 50% better than before,and etc...

  • Half of those patients have probably been misdiagnosed and are actually suffering from Lyme Disease (which can NOT be ruled out with a negative blood test - I know whereof I speak, considering that I have Lyme Disease). If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalagia, please watch the award-winning Lyme Disease documentary "Under Our Skin".

  • This was created for ambulance chasers. Having to sit on a jury for this bull shit was infuriating. Wasting time and money because someone claims they hurt all the time. Come up with a test that shows an abnormality and I'll believe it. How is one to tell the difference between a faker looking for a free lunch and someone in pain? You can't its bull shit.

  • After years of pain and one doctor to another one test after another after another after another.. and when they run out of things to check for and your screaming at your doctor how bad you hurt. they go fibromyalgia... Finally knowing what it is helps .. but treating it sucks... some times you have good days some times you have bad days but every day is always filled with pain . and it sucks

  • Yeah ok you think its nothing and we are all looking for attention then I tell you what. You come and stay in my body for a few weeks then tell me its in my head and all I want is attention. I m telling you after you feel what I have to deal with especially in the winter time you would eat ever word you said raw and get on your knees and apologies to every one you ever insulted telling then it was not real.

  • I think i may have this after months of noticing the muscle jerking and twitches that even affect me in my hair salon i cannot stop twitching my head and get scared I will have a chunk of hair missing. also my arms are always in so much pain the muscles inside are not tender just a throbbing excruciating pain. I am celiac and think this may be related!

  • @Kimby2122 I was diagnosed with celiac disease in Dec. 2010. I know it's related. I had shingles when young - another link I just found to FM.

  • Gotta say,the doctor has a point..

  • yeah try being a fucking man with this and it be extreme even for a women with it ive had women who say they have fm and tell me im full of shit women are the only ones who can get it pisses me off

  • How come rich people seem to never get fibromyalgia? If you give a fibromyalgia sufferer 5 million dollars, would they still have the disease a year later or would it magically disappear?

  • @jmichelel83 I cannot even believe that there are people like you out there. I Would pray you learn what suffering is like but I would not wish this on my worst enemy!

  • @jmichelel83 I met a woman who lives in one of the biggest mansions in San Diego, her husband was beyond wealthy. She bought a million dollar RV, and stayed at the park where I worked. There is no doubt she was wealthy. We connected because guess what? She also has FMS. She discussed what her doctors had told her about Fibro. So rich people do get Fibro. Of course the difference, is they can afford better doctors, medicines, therapy, hot tubs, etc. So $ certainly could reduce one's pain.

  • This was a dis-service to Fibro patients. So since there is not a"test" to confirm this condition does that also mean that depression, ADHD, Alzheimer's also does not exist? Alzheimer is only positively Dx in the brain after death.

    Proven treatments? Get your data straight, there not really any proven data out there. Until doctors believe that patients are in pain and LISTEN then this won't be addressed. Live a day in my shoes and it will change your life.

  • I too have suffered with fibromyalgia. I do not get ANY Government aid as speculated by @coil113! To those that do not have this- don't you dare judge or dispute something you know nothing about. Some say they did this or that and it went away-well they did not truly have fibromyalgia because it never goes away. For me, there is always pain. There are things that help (my pain anyway). Reduce sugar intake, gentle-non impact exercise. Rest. I work full time and I'm in school full time. My pa

  • i'm 14, and i just got diagnosed with this back in september. i really dont know what to do, and hearing that doctor does not help at all. it feels like life is passing me by.

  • there are always going to be uncaring, uneducated twits like this.

  • I have Fibromyalgia since 2000, I can nor work, I have fatigue all the time. 6 months of fever etc... People commits suicides because of some doctors that told them that they are crazy ! so be carfull don get discourage because of morons ...

  • @MsGLULU - ...so these "totally sane" people are committing suicide?

  • EVERYONE PLEASE READ!! This condition is easy to reverse. It is another mindbody manifestation known as TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome), also called AOS (Autonomic Overload Syndrome) and MBS (Mind Body Syndrome). Dr. John Sarno and his colleagues have found the cure. Buy a few books and apply the methods. Most people start feeling better within 2-6 weeks.

  • Saying acupuncture is an effective treatment for this disease just make it seem like a fake disease. Not helping, doctors!

  • The segment for fibromyalgia should have been longer because there are so many symptoms that they did not cover and did not explain how the current fibromyalgia drugs are supposed to work. I am currently titrating down all of the medications I was put on a by a doctor who said I will be able to return to work if I took this "drug cocktail". I was desperate having lost my career as an RN and my fiance of 9 years because of fibro. All of the drugs did not help but have hurt my liver & kidneys.

  • I was diagnosed last october.

    I'm a 21 yr old female.

    I couldn't imagine a PIN being stuck into me, that's extremely painful for me...

    I thought that was normal for fybromialgia?

  • one case i know had headaches, muscle pain, would grind their teeth at night, couldn't tolerate resting their arms on the arms of a chair ,etc.. they went to an upper cervical chiropractor on the advice of a friend. they got their upper neck adjusted, which wasn't much more than a tap just under their ear. they said later that they thought to themself at the time, "oh boy, another quack. why did i waste my money on this?" but over the next day , they said everything had cleared up.

  • @hiodr I'm going to the chiropractor in two weeks, I hope it makes my pain go away! This gives me hope!

  • @maddymadison30 make sure you go to an hio method upper cervical specific chiropractor. generalized manipulation is not the same thing! in addition, you may find it helpful to take kelp supplements or spot iodine over your thyroid (you can buy it at cvs stores) to provide more nutrition for the thyroid. stay away from soy products and fluoride.

  • @maddymadison30 - Try a physiotherapist instead. It's more based in science, since you never know what sort of chiropractor you'll get.

  • fibromyalgia has the highest suicide rate in the chronic illness category. for those of you that do not believe in these STRONG sufferers, you can go honestly burn in hell...

    I MEAN THAT IS HOW US SUFFERERS FEEL 24 HOURS OF THE DAY, IT ONLY SEEMS LOGICAL :o).

    and for those of you who are going through this daily stuggle with me, you are in my heart every minute of everyday. i am 21 years old and i have constant fibromalgia pain since i was 18. PLEASE be strong...and know you are not alone.

  • @spurvis2 I'm also 21, I've had symptoms since I was 17

    ...

    <3

  • coli311 you want to tell me when it feels like my uterus is being ripped out through my vagin or when it feels like I have razors and acid going through my intestines are fake? you want to tell me when i loose feeling and get pins in neeldles from my toes to my hip and feels like it is being electricuted to death that it is fake? you want to tell me when it feels like I have an axe through my face and my body feels like it has been in a car accident that it is fake you have no right to comment

  • Fibromyalgia:

    No scientifically objective test

    No common consensus on what it is, just an EXTREMELY broad definition

    No cure

    No known cause

    Many valid members of the scientific and medical communities do not agree it has been proven to be authentic

    I worry that we have a society full of people that think they are sick, and will apply for government assistance in paying their medical cost for what may be potentially fake illnesses. That's my concern.

  • @coil311 yeah, so medicine fails to find the cause of most problems, so that's no proof of anything.

  • @coil311 "Full of people that think they are sick"? WTF! Do you smoke crack? I had to ask becuase people go to the doctor when they are sick not when they think they might be! Call FM whatever you want to call it, but obviously people really are sick you stupid idiot. You probably still believe that Schizophrenia is demon possesion too right?

  • @maddymadison30

    When you are capable of expressing maturity online and are willing to engage in a thoughtful discussion with other people, then perhaps I'll reply to this with more detail. Until then, I have no use for you or your inane ramblings.

  • @coil311 That's good becuase I wasn't trying to carry a conversation with you anyhow. It's obvious your ignorant to FMS anyway and only comment on videos like this to argue with people who are suffering a great deal on a daily basis. You want to tell me I'm not sick when FMS has destroyed my life, so yeah it makes me very angry, and only shows your ignorance on this matter.

  • @coil311 I have owned n opereated my own business since I was in my twenties. I started my company in the middle of fighting bone cancer and the horrendous treatments that come w/ it. I feel sicker today then when I was told I had three to eighteen months to live. I was just diagnosed n for the first time I feel validated and feel I can finally fight the enemy since it finally has a face. Nobody struggling with this needs you to believe whether their pain is real. I pray for your need of empathy

  • @coil311 i agree

  • please post what i say. you guys are too rich to care about fibro. What is the cost for acupuncture especially every other day? Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover it? I pray that all the people in this video get Fibromyalgia for a couple of months. Then you could present a better course, not just an intellectual one with no feeling. Prove the lady getting the acupuncture has Fibromyagia.

  • Pain causes stress........................­..

  • I wished this sucker had too live a day in my body,,,

  • my mom has fibromyalgia and tried acupuncture. It worked for maybe a day or two, but then she'd have to go again. it didn't work enough.

  • Doctors are to blame for all the suicides of Fibromyalgia. They could be showing these people some compassion by believing them. Just because there's not a cure, doesn't mean a doctor shouldn't try & look for one. Why else call yourself a doctor, if you're not going to try & cure everyone of your patients. There are always new diseases cropping up in the world.

    What we've done to others, we've done it unto Christ.

  • @Rachella38 This doctor isn't saying that the people diagnosed with Fibromyalgia aren't sick, or that their suffering isn't real, just that they're being misdiagnosed in a way that doesn't promote finding a cure. It doesn't help to take a wide range of symptoms and labeling them as a new syndrome. For all we know, all those people diagnosed as suffering from fibromialgia could have different diseases with different causes that should be given different treatments.

  • @HeyNonyNonymous Okay, then can you recommend a Doctor who can diagnose the true illness.

  • If you have FM you NEED to watch DrTrevorMarshalls youtube channel

    I have fibromyalgia. Everything that "controversial" doctor said is true. All he said was that its just s description of symptoms. He didn't say you were imagining it. But lots of docs do. Fibromyalgia is caused by an autoimmune disease which is caused by an infectious disease that is within the cells. These are called l-form bacteria and they don't show up on antibodies or cultures.

  • FM is pretty clearly a physical manifestation of stress. The pain is real, the exhaustion is real, but there is no actual disease. The treatment must be for the underlying issue of intense stress. Once the patient can cope then the pain and exhaustion begins to go away.

  • @bhstone1 Many with FMS deny high levels of perceived stress.

  • @jns124able And?

  • @jns124able and this suggests that stress is not the definitive etiology.

  • Valerie I am sure if only I order your suave, vitamin, vibrator, juice, formula, exercise, etc..... You would support me all the way to the bank.

  • So this is typical.....an RN telling everyone with Fibromyalgia is in our head. Secondly we have someone who has the cure for only 19.99 or 21.99

  • @Butsahurtin - Why would the fact that it's "only in your head" still not mean it needs to be treated?

  • Yeah, her smile really makes me believe she feels like she was hit by a mack truck. gimme a break, okay?

  • that stupid doctor who dismissed fibromyalgia I hope he gets this disease tomorrow and lives with it every day then that smug look will be wiped off for his face forever. No matter how he is wording it all hes basically saying its in peoples mind. I can assure you its not in the mind doctor, just because YOU and the medical fraternity cannot solve it it means you have failed NOT us.

  • @justnatural - It's not likely he will "catch it" though since a person suffering from this issue apparently isn't infectious in any way.

    I've had pain purely from stress for a number of years. When I eliminated the cause of the problem the pain faded over a matter of weeks until I now no longer feel it. When I first heard it was stress causing it, I was very angry as I though that couldn't be right. My pain was *real*, so how could it be? As it turned out I was completely wrong.

  • For more information on fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic myofascial pain (CMP), which are closely related, please look up Devin Starlanyl's website. She has written several books and her information is invaluable. All the best!

  • Thankyou for sharing this video. Laurie

  • I think the mental institution is the right place for her.

    These people just want ATTENTION- they don't want to get better!

    Has anyone known a person with "FIBRO" who has not had a long history of psychiatric illness?

  • @DBHuntington: May I say that you have commented on something that you obviously know nothing about. No, we are not just trying to get attention, not wanting to get better. I myself have spent thousands of dollars on therapies, read extensively and still am in pain and have a ruined career and life because of FM. In the past i was a person who could do anything, now i am in the bed in pain all the time. You really should open that little mind of yours and read on a subject before you speak!

  • @rradfrey- I've been a Registered Nurse for over twenty-five years.

    I have more-than-enough education on "Fibromyalgia" which translated to muscle weakness.

    I repeat: I have never met anyone, patient or personally, with fibromyalgia who has not a long history of psychiatric illness, this includes depression.

    You have your opinion; I have mine.

  • @DBHuntingtonYou know, I also am a medical professional, and I have to tell you that your attitude STINKS! If you were an RN worthy of your profession and caring for patients, you would understand (even IF* your theory of mental illness being responsible for fibro) that what is in the mind of the patient will be what the patient is indeed experiencing. Your claim that people who have fibro need attention and to be in a mental institution is OUTRAGEOUS! you should be ashamed of yourself! some RN!

  • @DBHuntington

    Perhaps people with chronic, whole-body pain, all day, every day, are depressed.

    However...

    In a research methods course, you learn that just because 2 things seem to be related (occur together), doesn't mean one causes the other. It is possible that fibromyalgia causes depression, that depression causes fibromyalgia, or that some 3rd thing we haven't identified causes both. Also, you are describing only people you've met, not a diverse group.

  • @cashoyt thats a good point, actually. We have only correlations, not causations at this point. Virtually every aspect of the human experience has been implicated in contributing to the syndrome...better treatments wont arise until more precise etiologies are figured out...

  • @DBHuntington yep. I have a BSN degree and RN license and feel a large majority of the cases are caused by depression, which is not to say the pain isn't real. For a lot of people there is also secondary gain (cries for sympathy, excuse not to work etc) I can spot secondary gain a mile away--these patients get VERY angry if you suggest a possible underlying cause. They scream they've tried everything. In other words, they don't want to hear that there is help because they'd actually get cured.

  • @ReviewCam I, also have my BSN/PHN/RN. At times my pain is so great that it is hard to do anything. I try to focus on other things. But because of the chronic pain, I can't continue pursuing my career in public health, a career I loved and wanted to work until I was 70. My pain is not a cry for attn. It is very real. It is not brought on by stress. I exercise in the water several times a week, which helps. The many people I meet in the pool with FM aren't faking their pain either.

  • @ReviewCam Perhaps they get angry because you suggest their is a secondary cause that attacks their character. I have been an owner of a business since I was in my twenties and I assure you I would have been angry at your suggestion as well. Years of no one validating what has the potential of destroying the quality of my life and we have to suffer through people and comments like yours. Perhaps you have been a nurse too long. As you I can spot a nurse who lacks compassion a mile away!

  • @rradfrey Me too my pain is sooo severe u can actually here my bones cruntching. I was told i had chrondocondrtis. I really try not 2 complain about cuz no1 cares or believes me. Every dr i've been has been frightened b/c the load and severe noises coming from my chest&back. itoo have lost a few jobs b/c of this pain cuz I look well but im sluggish b/c of the excruiating pain

  • @rradfrey Fibromyalgia is just a silly name used by doctors who are too fucking stupid to diagnose your condition. I have lived in pain for many many years and these stupid cunt doctors told me it was Fibromyalgia. Well to all the people on here I'm going to do you a fucking big favour. More than any cunt doctor has ever done for me. Do your research like I did. I have found the cause of my issue is eggplant foods. Cut out tomatoes, potatoes and anything containing Solanine. Google it.

  • @Hertsman50 Then you didn't have FMS. There could be multiple causes behind FMS. You see the symptoms of FMS match that of parasympathetic nervous system dominance...most FMS sufferers get worse after TRAUMA & your PNS is supposed to heal U after a trauma, but when u have dominance, it works the opposite. So because ur body can't heal u are more susceptible to toxins entering your cells & destroying your DNA. They found this out w/ peeps w/ GWS, who have almost same symptoms as FMS.

  • @xxMadMellyxx so how do you cure it?

  • @DBHuntington: According to NIH and Mayo Clinic websites, please know that mental illness is not included as a precursor to fibromyalgia. I'm sure that as an RN, you must complete continuing education in order to maintain an active certification. May I suggest that you choose a course that explains this condition in more detail so that you may be more educated on the topic and render better care to your patients without prejudice or blame. I want to thank you for what you do to help others.

  • I am a recovered fibromyalgic who left the care of the medical profession to discover the cause and cause of this horrific condition without drugs, and am living proof that you can cure this and take back your life. Symptoms are mistaken as a cause and treatment that help do not cure. Please, do not give up from failed hope and keep going!!!

  • I believe that fuits and vegetables can reduce inflammation in joints!

    I started taking Mona Vie Active for my shoulder pain and now I don't have to take Vicodin before I go to bed!

    My wife has fibromyalgia, she feels a lot better when she drinks it as well!

    If you seriously want the Monavie Active, go to juiceberg's channel! They will hook you up!

  • the book is called the mind body prescription.

  • @obxguy1 I've read several of Dr. Sarno's books, and although that approach may have helped with my sciatica temporarily, I tend to think it was the meds, stretches, acupuncture that finally gave relief from the pain of a trapped nerve. I have however, found it has been as useless in treating FMS symptoms as all the other "it's in your head" pronouncements. Maybe it only works on imaginary pain.

  • @sadhe57 Have you had any success with systemic enzymes? In theory, those may help.

  • @obxguy1 In theory, maybe. Lack of empirical evidence, lots of entities trying to make a buck off of it nevertheless. Also: at least one ingredient, nattokinase, seems to be a blood thinner. That would be contraindicated for anyone who already bruises easily, as many fibromyalgics do. So, no thanks.

  • people here need to read Dr sarnos book on TMS... research it! Its real pain, but caused by your brain to distract you from emotional issues.

  • I am in the UK, was referred to see a rheumatolgist as I was suffering with painful hands and feet,right up into the ankles. Just getting up to use the bathroom in the night was a major task to get through the pain in my feet, I saw the specialist twice, at which point he said he was pretty certain it was Fibromyalgia. Since then I have been treated with a real cocktail of different drugs to try and ease the pain. Unfortunately I have slowly been getting worse.

  • Just taking a shower means at least an hour lay on the bed to recover from the intense sweating. I have applied for Disability Living Allowance, mainly because there is no way I can take a job knowing that I am going to be off more than being there. Believe it or not I have been refused twice. Fibromyalgia for some reason is not a disability in the eyes of the British Welfare System. If I could get someone to wave a magic wand and it be gone I would. Any advice gratefully accepted

  • @deb1701 - perhaps you are taking narcotics for pain. Do you know that excessive sweating is a major side effect of narcotic/opioid? Just a thought.

  • Acupunture does work but who can afford it when insurance companies do not recognize it as a viable treatment. This has given me much relief in the past but I am unable to continue treatments because I cannot afford it.

  • @momma59 - That's because acupuncture can only affect someone by means of the placebo effect.

  • Sounds like there is no cure to this , so why bother wasting money to have needle's in you .. besides I bet insurance doesn't cover this ..and there more then likely not even around in small town only in cities .

  • you can check some ones blood and if there is a high amount of inflamation in the joints and mussles that is a indication that there pain there and with the symtoms that pations have you can come up with a diagnosis.

  • Acupunture is GREAT! When you on the table!

    After you leave the office and pay your $65.00

    And schedule you next appointment for your 3rd

    Visit of the week IF you can afford it!

    I do my OWN NEEDLES and it helps

    because I can sleep and do not have drive

    And worry about my checking account.

    FBRO HELL MICHELLE

  • I've had 3 doctors tell me the pain was in my head. I'm now seeing my fourth doctor and hoping this one works out. I can't work and I lay in bed and i'm 37 years old. All I want is to be able to move again and work and be a mom and wife. its so hard.

  • My Mom has this... What is it? What causes this? How can I help?

  • @MightyTrebor fibromyalgia is a mussle and joint disease wich causes wide spread pain and makes it hard for for you to do the things you normally take advatage of like walking. No two suffers suffer the same. It effects your whole body and the out look you have on life. The cause of this is still unknown. The best way to help some one is to understand they are in pain and they are not faking it. Ask if they would like some help. be there for them. Understand.

  • @crewlla Thanks for answering. I help her out in anyway I can, not for FibroM; but because she's my mom!

    (no-one better reply "Aaawwww" to this!)

  • This is a bullshit word these so called docs put on you because they don't know how to treat it, If anyone out there doesn't know what it's like to be in pain every day then screw you!!! I need real help and I can't get it here, I've been getting the injections for a long time now and they do nothing for my pain, I;ve had 6 MRI'S 15 dr's and no help, I FEEL LIKE I WANNA DIE

  • @bensonmeds "Doctors" haven't cured much since Polio...

    They just find new ways of making you live with that shit...

    --Chris Rock

    (not an exact quotation)

  • @MightyTrebor - Chris Rock is a comedian, and that line isn't based in reality.

  • How can we move to saying we're better when there is no treatment !

  • Taking Lyrica helped me so much for my fibromyalgia. I went from crawling up the stairs and using a cane to walking miles and running up the stairs. The first few weeks it felt like bugs were crawling all over me, they changed my dose and now it is very helpful. Also a Vit. D deficiency has many of the same symptoms of fibromyalgia so I take 5000 IU of Vit. D every day and that has helped so much as well. Taking Tylonol PM or Melatonin vit. at night helps me sleep now. I hope this helps you.

  • What rubbish from doctors.

  • I wish you could feel my pain

  • That show was a waste of my time

  • There is a treatment for Fibro and many other nervous system disorders. Please reseach the drug Low Dose Naltrexone. Loads of videos on Youtube. Watch the Dr Chris Steel Video on Youtube.

  • The only studies involving observing human intestines digesting genetically modified soy, showed that not only did the stomach acids did not destroy the modified genes in the food, but that the genes actually were transfered to the stomachs natural bacteria. This means that a plant that is modified to produce natural insecticide could transfer that insecticide gene to the stomach bacteria. The body would therefore be a producing toxins against itself.

  • @superskunkfooker I am a recovered fibromyalgic who left the medical profession to discover the cause and cure for this horrific illness, and I am living proof that FMS can be cured. After 15 years of failed treatment, I finally found my way back to health in alternative treatment. Please do not give up from failed hope and check out my video "Curing Chronic Fibromyalgia - Choosing What Works", follow it to my website and keep going!!! Best wishes!

  • Maxsy, Humira is a TNF blocker, basically an antibody limiter, is the way I explain it. Seemed to work for a little while, but lately, ugh! It comes in an injection pen device.

    I'm so tired of the pain, but people always tell me how nice I look. A former model, but I feel horrible most of the time.

    I wish you and our Fibro fans the best of luck. Take care.

  • Its encouraging to see people do know about this problem. My bf had the same problem and he tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked until he tried raw diet and Candida/ yeast prevention diet. Ton of supplement for preventing the

    overgrowth of yeast. also, sound , good deep sleep is also a factor.

  • I can't believe it! I suffered for so long, and spent tons of money, now broke. Once a successful engineer.

    Good news, I think. Trying Humira. I think it is working. Now that I lost everything, I can live on the street finally without pain?

    I recommend Humira, if you can get it. God Bless.

  • @dgruc like you, I.m totally broke. Sad...however. what is Humira?

  • it is a syndrome produced by thyroid dysfunction in some people. the cause is often nerve interference to the thyroid due to upper cervical vertebral subluxation, a condition which is correctable, though, at times, recorrection will be necessary. i do not recommend imprecise manipulation. i do recommend precise upper cervical correction using a precise upper cervical method, such as hio.

  • @hiodr I am a recovered fibromyalgic who left the medical profession to discover the cause and cure for this horrific illness, and I am living proof that FMS can be cured. After 15 years of failed treatment, I finally found my way back to health in alternative treatment. Please do not give up from failed hope and check out my video "Curing Chronic Fibromyalgia - Choosing What Works", follow it to my website and keep going!!! Best wishes!

  • Doctor ticked me off. I tried acupuncture for at least 12 sessions and it didn't help a lick.

  • If anybody suffers from this please get Dr. John Sarno's book "The Divided Mind". A neurosurgeon, 50 years practice and research, success rate extremely high. He says that stress, buried anger, buried emotional pain causes many of these type ailments, fibro, allergies, teeth grinding, neck pain, numbness, neck pain, back pain. Are you a perfectionist, driven, seek others approval, had a rough childhood, alcoholic parent. Read Sarno book please. Stop suffering, get better.

  • This doctor pisses me off, along with all doctors that won't help patients in pain...As a nurse patients have a RIGHT to have their pain controlled, but doctors are going against their oath they took, that means nothing now...it is all about them, their money, and rushing thru patient to patient....Doctors are getting more useless everyday! No wonder people commit suicide over this!

  • I have to wonder if maybe our crappy diets have something to do with this.

  • @godsfiddler it could be the pesticides they use in our food.

  • @crewlla FMS was first officially, medically recognized in the 1800's in Scotland, goes the theory. I'm not a great fan of pesticides, either, or many of the other "Better Living Through Chemistry" crap of our age. As a lifelong FMS patient (who's had no luck w/ accupuncture or other alternative therapies), we tend to jump to easy answers in our desperation. Lynne M. is a hero who somehow manages to provide us w/ the best info we know, so far, in spite of her battles w/ FMS.
