  • Go to this website and watch a video of a girl who was healed by God after suffering many years with fibromyalgia. awmi.net click on healing testimonies, Niki Ochenski . Great !

  • I tried to post my email , I tried to post the links I have with the diet information.

    Am I not allowed to post my email or links? I just don't know how to get this information to you.

  • I cannot find a way to answer you.

  • "You can be superman or superwoman. Ask for help." No effin way! Without even asking for helping everyone already thinks a bunch of bull about us fibro patients. If not asking for help means that I at least have some dignity at the end of the day, then so be it! If I ask for help, will I have less pain? Probably not. Will anyone actually take me seriously? Hell no. What's the point in asking for help? What help is there for us? I have yet to see ANY.

  • Anywhere online I can watch this documentary free???

  • Got fibro? Do yourself a favor and check your medical records to see if you'd taken Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox or any other quinolone antibiotics in the weeks or months prior to your symptoms arising. Doctors give out these terribly poisonous drugs like they're candy, and they are known to cause DELAYED REACTIONS that mimic fibro symptoms nearly perfectly. Because of this delay in reaction time, many people never make the connection between the drugs and their new mysterious health problems.

  • I read an article somewhere that liquid oxygen can help with the symptoms of fibermyalgia , one of the products I came across is called Synergy O2 , I was thinking of buying a bottle for my grandma. just want to hear others Opinions

  • @artace87 I suffered with Fibro for many, many years and I am cured along with other health problems. It doesn't cost anything except for the cost of picking up a few things from your local health food store and changing your diet! It is true! It is free! Take control over your own health...I did and I thank God every day for sending me this information. I would love to share it with anyone who is willing to change their diet and help themselves!

  • @artace87 dont waste your money. just do some research on Dr. John E. Sarno MD and his theory, tension myoneural syndrome.  The doctors will tell you that your muscles hurt because the lack of oxygen, but they don't really tell you why or how this occurs (move the muscle get blood back etc etc). Sarno discovered along time ago that the autonomic nervous system restricts blood flow due to stress overload, he'll show you how to get blood/oxygen back to the muscles and get a cure for fibro

  • Have you tested positive on 11 of the 18 pressure points for Fibro. Fairly easy to be pain free in 5 sessions of Rife. I have not encountered anyone with Fibro who has not responded. Fibro is a fungal infection of your blood, get rid of the fungus and you get rid of the pain! You do not have to suffer or take cortisone and pain medication that have wonderful side affects. Treat the disease not the pain! Think out of the BOX!

  • you hurt EVERY day. if your pain level is a 4... you had a good day 

  • Yes, there are a lot of ignorant people out there, including many drs who still don't think it's real or that it's a catch all illness for every thing that ails you. Luckily, those jerks have been proven wrong, for there's now proof of FM -- SPECT brain scans showing a problem with cerebral blood flow in specific areas of the brain that affect nerve signals. These scans were performed on both FM and healthy patients in Europe, then again in the U.S. by the NIH, all with the same results.

  • All information of FMS is important and although the doctors cannot cure you, you can be cured. Do not give up because of failed hope. I am a recovered fibromyalgic who understands this condition from the inside and back out again. Do not give up!!! You can cure this and take back your life!!!

    Valerie Lumley, Recovered Fibromyalgic and author of

    "Curing Chronic Fibromyalgia - Choosing What Works"

  • 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!

  • if anyone has the time please watch my story and suggest something to help me as mine is so severe I'm in a wheelchair.

  • @VixenIntoxia Hi! I suffered with fibro for a very long time and I cured myself following some great information and drastically changing my diet. I will share this info with anyone who is willing to try it. It is free! I am so thankful to God for leading me to this life changing info that I want share it with everyone. I cured my health problems and I believe you can also. I will send the info to anyone who needs it...yes it IS FREE!

  • @CuredForSure

    if ur fibromyalgia is cured by SIMPLE MEDICATION then u can

    use that method and be a millionaire...........there is no cure

    for this disease

  • @mrpowerrman I never mentioned medications. I cured my Fibro and many other health problems by changing my body PH. Please do a search for "What The Cell is Going On?" written by Dr. Gary Tunsky. You can test your body PH just as soil and pool water should be tested. Our bodies are only healthy when they are at the proper PH level. Get your PH level to where it should be and watch your health problems go away.

    I will be happy to share all info that I have with anyone willing to help themselves.

  • @mrpowerrman I never said anything about medication! I am cured because I adjusted my Body PH. I read information about what to eat and drink when your body is too acidic, (a very unhealthy condition which causes a lot of health problems), I tried it....it works and I believe that NO ONE has to suffer with Fibro!

  • @CuredForSure ı want to know about your diet ıf ıts possible, ı want to get rid of this sıtuatıon, ıf you will share ı ll be very thankful.

  • @serengulkesim I am not sure how to share this info with you. If I post my email, is that allowed here? Or if I post links to the info, is that allowed? This info that I have saved is not to sites selling ANYTHING. I have nothing to sell...I just know how I suffered for 14 years and fixed my health problem within a week or 2 and it kills me that others are suffering needlessly.

    Someone tell me ...am I allowed to post my email?

  • @serengulkesim I am desperately trying to share the information that I used to cure myself. How can I share when I try to post links or try to post my email so I can send you links? What I did to cure myself cannot be written in a couple lines. Can anyone enlighten me?

  • @CuredForSure try putting the website without the w w w it is not allowed . People can reply to your post and you will get an email to tell you that someone has replied to you...like you are getting from me. See my post for more help at awmi.net The Niki Ochenski story in healing testimonies.

  • HELP !

  • Reading through all of the comments I cannot believe how ignorant some people are...what would anyone benefit from lying about this? I am 21 and am miserable; I can very rarely be who I was a year ago and I hate this. There is no way I would make this up, I only wish it would go away. And I have been trying to describe how I feel psychologically - stressed, depressed, poor concentration etc but 'brain fog' is pretty good...I thought I was going mad with my poor concentration, memory loss etc!

  • @happysad321 NEVER tell a Psychiatrist about Depression , or even a general practitioner- they will write off ALL YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS as PSYCHOLOGICAL - Send you to a Psychiatrist and you will be drugged and made worse

  • 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. It may help if it's rings true for you. Good luck

  • "And that's just got to be ok". Wonder how.

  • (And, even if someone DID create the word "fibromyalgia" to describe something he couldn't otherwise explain... we're still using the word in some cases for that reason. We can't explain it, but we know it's causing a lot of real problems no matter what the source. FMS sufferers, I hope you don't let hateful people tell you that what you battle daily ~ HOURLY for some of you ~ is make believe. <3)

  • Fibromyalgia simply translates as muscle pain. For obvious reasons, that's not nearly good enough & doesn't even begin to address all the other nasties that go right along w/ this THING. Some people are rightly urging a name change to accurately reflect the more messed-up CNS, as well. Btw, anyone issuing a patient w/ the old "wastebasket dx" of FMS is hopelessly out of date & possibly creating a little "problem " for themselves- & their Practice.

  • Unfortunately, one difficulty people have with understanding fibromyalgia is that it does not directly effect the muscles. No cellular damage takes place at all. The nerves themselves suffer the full blow directly. I'm 21 and have had fibromyalgia for about 2 1/2 years. In this time I've definitely noticed that the pain I feel from muscle problems is quite different and far less frequent than that which is caused by fibromyalgia.

  • I try to stay out of internet debates, especially on YouTube, but I just have to reply here.

    Whittvet, and others who say that maybe it's "real" for some & "psychological" for others, I really hope you'll consider something. If pain is "in someone's head" ~ if it's a chemical or neurological condition that is making the person feel phantom pain or something ~ there is still PAIN. Sometimes excruciating, devastating levels of pain. So try to redefine what's "real", if it's within your capacity.

  • As a lifelong sufferer w/ others in family, too w/ it, I could write volumes. For now, this bit may help: On Oct.9, '09, Reuters reports that the journal Science reports a virus called XMRV has been found in a majority of people w/ the related Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. NOT proof yet of cause, but a crucial new link that gives more hope than all the useless supplements & junk we are are subjected to in our desperate search for relief. Please tie a knot & hang on. Real answers ARE in the works.<3

  • thanks ill ask my dr they all say "psychosomatic" before asking questions or performing tests i hope they suffer these sysmtoms and loose their jobs as well

  • What kind of so-called dr. would insult you w/o even ruling out other causes, at least, if they don't know the proper way to dx for FMS?! Quacks? I'm sorry; it's very immature, I know, but I can't relate to "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy"- I most certainly would , cos that's the ONLY way some people will ever "get it" (understand & believe).

  • Thats what ive been saying for years - unfortunately it is a very grim vantagne point to have to stand in as well -

    unfortunately some how in this situation i am trapped. ill keep trying but theres no light at the end just yet

  • Probably the worst in this country, on 60 mg ms contin and cant control the pain, much more than I can bear, a slight draught, breeze, cold on the skin, a speck of dust, pollen and Im in SO much pain, most supplements, most meds, especially SSRIS, 5 htp. Now mcs so bad I cant go into a building because of paint on the walls etc. Never slept, always had food allergies undiagnosed, untreated, now have addisons, hashimotos, breathing BAD, extreme nausea, living in a car HELP!

  • dont be s tupid and shovel SSRIs into your body you bloody fool

    look into candidiasis if you havent already it COULD be an underlying factor- you have to do your own resarch and its long and painful but drugs like this are only masking symptoms

    clearly what ever your problem is seems systemic

    stablisters in drugs can worsen the actual problem while masking the symptoms

  • @debraphappy  I'm sorry to hear about your sensitivities, difficulties; I believe every word you write. We're like canaries in the coal mine, with our nervous systems set on "High" ( or, as in the movie Spinal Tap- "11"!). It's been a very long time since your post... I hope you've found aid somewhere. The USA can be an unforgiving place for those w/o a "net" to fall into when things go bad.

  • you have lyme

  • i remember hearing of the documentry sometime ago do you know where i can find it it and get a hold of it

  • yea it is, im 26 and have had it 3 years

  • Yep, unfortunately it's entirely possible and not all that uncommon. I was diagnosed at the age of 20. I'm 28 now. Finding a doctor who'll listen and take you seriously is the first step.

  • Hi!. I've been in pain for years, and treated, tested . . .But my doctor put me on SAVELLA, on Monday, June 15, 2009, feeling that Fibromyalgia was what I might have. Today, WEDNESDAY, June 17, I was able to walk down the stairs with ease. You start out on a low dose, and by the 14th day will be on 50mg of Savella. If I feel this good on pill 3 (12.5mg) I should feel even better by day 14.

    Truly,

    Laurie Cheslak "Lauriewriter" on YouTube

  • I was just put on Savella, into first week, with no real signs of relief yet. I have such hope that it will give me a another chance, for a normal life. Because I can no longer stand to live like this. Thank you Lauriefor your post.

  • Rading your comments, i feel for you, what is your diet! that is the key to getting better trust me i have been changing things for the past few months, what i am doing works. :) stay strong if i can help please ask . x

  • Comment removed

  • One thing I can tell you is I have talked with many people who have Fibromyagia and Chronic Pain Syndrom who are taking Cannabis for pain relief. It is astonishing that some are seeing a 80 to 90 percent decrease of pain.

  • There is this other guy Alex Chiu with his Immortality Rings, he treated lots of fybro myalgia cases. I had his Immortality Rings on and it certainly did help my pain a lot.

  • trillusionmedia I'm sorry for the string of seemingly-random, chaotic responses... I was trying to "reply" to various comments and didn't realize my browser (Opera, for those who want a fair warning) wasn't placing them as replies at all. I removed them so I could look less crazy.

    Anyway, great video -- thank you for spreading awareness. I've had this very real, constant pain of FMS for nearly 10 years now and we need all the awareness-raising we can get. Best hopes for your mother. <3

  • I would love to introduce your mother to some others having great results with the pain without adding drugs to her activities.

  • It's not daily pains. It's extreme pain. Sounds like you are a caregiver with no pity.

  • The day you'll be diagnosed with FMS you'll be beggin' people to forgive you for the horrible reaction you gave them. Sorry, I won't be the one to do so. You don't have a clue at all what hell it can be livin' with FMS

  • My FM is not paid for, nor are any of my treatments. I don't try to fight for treatments. I have chronic pain every day and it varies. I don't know why it bothers you so much that people are having pain and trying to seek help. If you don't care about them, don't try to anger them. If you would like I can tell you the pain is real, seeing as for six months my doctors thought I had rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. As well they tested me for every other muscular disease out there.

  • Even the doctor who "discovered it" (Dr. Wolfe) says it is a fraud and he was pushed to "discover" it by pharmaceutical companies in an effort to push a new med through the fda. So I'm calling it BS still.

  • Fibromyalgia pain has been recorded since Medieval times...you need to stop using Wikipedia to access your information and do proper research. Just because it's a recently discovered disorder and they don't know what causes it doesn't mean it isn't real. There are loads of diseases that people didn't think were real until the past 20 years.

  • Actually it was the New York Times. Furthermore, I have never seen a report written about Fibromyalgia from the Medieval Times.

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    It was NOT the New York Times. Ugh.

    Fibromyalgia may just have been NAMED then, but symptoms have been recorded since the 1800s. Do you not believe in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)? Or how about menstrual cramps? OR IBS? Just because there is no medical TEST to prove they exist doesn't mean it's not real. It's very likely and undiscovered disease, or number of diseases which mimic others. For a while lupus and rheumatoid arthritis were considered the same.

  • It was the NY times, "Drug Approved. Is Disease Real?" Jan. 14, 2008.

    And there are lab levels to support PTSD, IBS, and anotomical structures that are known to cause menstrual cramps when the pressure is applied. There are certain abnormalities present with REAL conditions.

  • There are lab tests for fibromyalgia too, but they're very dangerous. To test for substance P abnormalities requires a spinal tap, which is very expensive, painful, has a substantial recovery time, and carries the risk of paralysis.

    In short, if you've got a distinctive pain pattern, sleep problems, cognitive problems, and you don't have some other disease, then it's a safe bet you've got fibromyalgia, and dangerous and expensive tests are unnecessary until more is known about the disease.

  • So what about the ones that aren't overweight, don't smoke, and regularly exercise, but still got fibromyalgia? I'm sure they're not all in a secret conspiracy. In any case, my doctors refused to do a spinal tap. They said the risk wasn't worth it, since I had classic symptoms and everything else was ruled out. I'm in my 20's, male, 150 pounds, athletic, and I've never smoked, used alcohol, drugs, etc. I went from healthy to miserable in a few days. Whatever it is, I'm a believer.

  • Medical understanding doesn't quite have a grasp on molecular biology yet. I think fibromyalgia could be several different neurochemical problems with similar consequences. Sort of like how many skin disorders look exactly the same. Many varieties of dermatitis looks a lot like fungal infections, for example, but they have completely different causes - USUALLY! Sometimes dermatitis can be indirectly caused by infections. At the molecular level, you can't just look at it, so it's even harder.

  • i take exception to your comment. 25 years ago when i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, i was thin, and in great shape because i had just left the army. i don't smoke. Dr's are doing their best to treat their patients, and people are changing how they view people with fibro. but you sir, are talking out ya butt hole. just sayin.

  • ARMY= Aint Ready for Marines Yet were you in the Fibro sqaud?

  • Hi i have never heard of this test, im not conviced that it would be the best root to go down. Diet and vitmins with at least three litres of water a day is the best way of beeting it. A food intolarance test. No sugar and no orange as this aciditates all the joints, natural yogurt, 80% veg and salad and 20% cooked should be in your diet. I see a OSTEOMYOLOGIST he has changed my life. For pin Indian tumaric and black pepper it works :)

  • Wow. You are really misinformed! But, then again, unless you've walked a mile in someone's shoes that has fibro/chronic fatigue, you'll never understand.

  • Not really. I am just quoting the man who "discovered" fibromyalgia.

  • IIt is real atleast with some. I can feel the knots in their arm and legs. I also have seen many have help and relief.

    Not to mention, many have been in accidents and traumas that have affected their spine and more importantly their upper cervical spine. This makes perfect sense. If you would like to know a little more about upper cervical care send me a message on here. There are very few docs that take the extra training for this procedure so let me know so I can verify.

  • I do believe that upper cervical spine care is a benefit to many people. However, I maintain that fibromyalgia is more psychological than real. The man who "discovered" fibro even stated that it was false and that he had to "come up with something".

  • The neurological condition that manifests most obviously w/ allover pains & severe fatigue was likely first recorded by a medical doctor in Scotland in the 1800's- FMS/CFIDS now shows on brain scans in research, & anybody who thinks it's psychosomatic isn't "thinking" at all.

  • im sorry whats FMS and CFIDS . please?`thanks

  • The abreviations of Fibromyalgia Syndrome & Chronic Fatigue-Immune Deficiency Syndrome. I never had any luck at all w/ acupuncture, energy healing, etc., except to lighten my purse. If this turns out to have a viral basis, as new research may indicate (for CFIDS, but these 2 may be the same illness, after all.), you can ask yourselves what these other types of treatments have done for HIV, or H1N1, for instance. It would finally prove we're not dealing w/ a lightweight illness here.

  • @LindazEyes

    Someone needs to find an answer for the cause of FM. Fibromyaglia is a NEUROLOGICAL illness. It is NOT a type of arthritis nor should a rhuematologist treat this condition. Chemicals in the brain are messed up which causes central sensitization. Immune abnormalities are present and sleep is disturbed. That is about all we know which is a damn shame. Write a letter to the CDC saying FM should not be categorized under arthritis, because that is how it is right now. Thumbs up 4 change!

  • God forbid you ever have to deal with anything like this. I was told about 12 yrs ago that I had it and I was like you - whatever.....blah blah blah. The last two years I have been getting more and more tired...on a cpap now. it was not until last years car accident that brought this to light. It has been 10 months and I am still in so much pain as if it happened yesterday. So WHITTVET - until you live it - don't judge it. You are basically calling me a scam artist and that is offensive.

  • Ok. First of all a CPAP is for COPD, CHF or some other chronic pulmonary disorder, not fibromyalgia. Also your pain is from a car wreck, there was an incident of trauma. I am not calling you a scam artist, just weak minded.

  • scam artist? Weak minded? r u kidding me?

    Sleep disorderes are ALSO known for Fibro - don't think that it isn't.

    Yes, my pain is from 2 accidents, but I had been living with lower back pain for yrs. Noone knew about it.. since the car addidents, I cld no longer hide it, because it is all of my back now. I have restless legs as well, plus other things.

    If u think that I am a scam artist (which - what wld that do for me anyway?) then I wish u cld be in my body for 1 day.

  • I did not call you a scam artist, but I did call you weak minded. Restless leg? Now I know you are a hypochondriac.

  • yeah - whatever - if that makes u sleep better at night.

    Live in my body for one day and u will be in as much pain as I.

  • I'll get you some cheese to go with that whine

  • Whittvet - I just hope that you dont ever have to go through anything that gives you pain, exhaustion without explination. Hopefully if you do have to go through something like that - that you will have loving friends and family who will support you and not be rude and disrespectful to you. This is not something that we want to happen to us or asked for it. It just is - and it can't be explained. I hope that you are thankful for your health. Wish you the best.

  • Whittvet, Here is an interesting thought for you. If someone in authority tells someone that they have a disease or condition even if it is not real people can beging developing symptoms due to the power of the mind. I do wonder if big pharma advertising in not actually "creating" condtions and diseases. Why, so they can sell more drugs. With that aside, I do think some people do really have a neurological condition most likely due to a trauma to the spine that manifest as fibromyalgia or CFS.

  • thats putting the cart before the horse as is often the case- most people suffer the symptoms first, then desperately need to find out what the cause of the problem is. the crazy thing here is that while western medicine constaly promotes the PHALLACY of "psychosomatic illness" they continually deny REike & Acupuncture because its not possible to heal the mind with out intensive alopathic treatment. because its not possible to heal the body with tme mind.- unless of course SSRIs are involved.

  • Comment removed

  • @LindazEyes thanks for the ad hominim attack Linda, its not like it takes the credibility of the content of my post away but for many people such a comment as yours DOES and you should be aware of that when calling attention to it. Figure out which team you are playing for and kick the ball towards your opponents goal not your own got it?

    THANK YOU

  • Arrgh, "Pirate"-This keeps happening: I am deliberately replying to an earlier, SPECIFIC post, as in the case of my "friend", Sexboywonder, of a month ago- I posted the "fallacy" comment directly within his, & it just comes up at the top, w/o any relevance for the reader, or the last Comment maker, in this case, YOU- who are taking offense for what, I can't tell. I actually agree w/ your post, which I only just now saw after you (nearly) Flamed Up at me.

  • i got diagnosed with this the other day, and although i'm glad to have an answer, i'm still terrified. I'm 17 and i'm worried about the future and what it holds for me. is there anyone out there in the same boat? i'd love to talk to you.

  • Hey!

    I'm in the same boat!

    Message me back

  • I Suffer From It To!

  • LYRICA IS NOT THE ANSWER! I am 42 and had A STROKE after taking this mind numbing DANGEROUS DRUG!

    Watch FIBRO HELL MICHELLE she is trying to get PAIN PEOPLE together. There is no incentive from A medical point

    find A CURE BECAUSE we see MANY Dr's and buy anything to ease our pain. We are worth more money SICK.

  • Comment removed

  • I also have chronic pain. I hate it, and some how I found a bit of hope hearing others that unfortunately are going through this dibilitating problem.

  • You're not alone kdc. It's easy to feel like you are, especially if you're surrounded by people irl who can't relate.

  • my mums been diagnosed witht his today i duno wot to do or wot it is erm a private msg frm some1 else help me plz?

  • How ironic:

    "my mums been diagnosed witht his today i duno wot to do or wot it is erm a private msg frm some1 else help me plz?" -

    Actually the keyword was in what you wrote: MSG.

    Mono-Sodium Glutamate - Get it out of her diet. Also Aspartame and Fluoride.

  • cheers mate

  • fuck my life

  • I have to say, reading the comments here, I am starting to understand why it's taken me until now to find a doctor who would help. He told me today he thinks I havefibromyalgia and is sending me to the hospital for a consultation and help. I have been in pain on and off my whole life, had IBS all my life too, and in the last year or so have been in terrible pain and have been signed off work. How anyone seeing someone in that sort of pain can say it's fake amazes me. So glad I'm getting help!!

  • There are a lot of ignorant people in this country, that includes the Government. If you can't see an illness, it isn't there, is the attitude. Well they also can't see the oxygen they are breathing in so perhaps they ought to stop bothering!

  • yes, you can see oxygen in lab test

  • Comment removed

  • We need to take a baseball bat to all the people who think FMS is fake. I would gladly score a homerun.

  • you would complain that the bat is too heavy.

  • in about 10 years from now FM will probably be thought of and just as known as something like arthritis.... its just that the research hesnt been done yet and they dont know much about it..

    it doesnt mean its not real.

    so all you narrow minded people and doctors who dont have a clue about what it feels like to live with this everyday... butt out and dont assume.

  • i'm writing a research paper on this for a neurological psychology class, and for people to honestly believe this disease is not real are only making the problem first. imagine being in pain every day of your life and no one believes you. that's horrible.

  • O, Lord, if you're there, please give this man (it has to be, doesn't it?) the ability to see himself for the puke he is! Give those who suffer from FMS relief from their pain and give them courage & grace to live with it. O Satan (if you're there)? Give Jharadon89 a million fleas in his crotch and arms too short to scratch.

  • obviously you don't even know how to read because the person didn't miss 26 years of work. and i've had fibromyalgia since i was 12 and i can guarantee it's much more than just "aches and pains." there is an entire array of symptoms that affect all kinds of body functions. i can honestly say there isn't ONE body part it doesn't affect and i never complain about it cuz this is what god gave me and i have to accept it. you have no right to your bias if you've never experienced a chronic illness.

  • Hell yes! If you call Bullshit on these attention seeking whores they come out with there fangs! As long as I am having to pay for medicare and medicaid for this bullcrap of a "disability" I believe I can bitch all I want. I have never seen a fibro patient that was not a addicted to vicodin or some other narcotic. What a waste of time this crap is. Sorry to vent but I have to put up with this load of crap on a daily basis in the ER.

  • I also have Fibromyalgia. Yes it is bad. I'd love to see these non believers who think it's all in our heads to have it. Just remember when you have the flu and you feel awful and you hurt all over., It's like that but 24/7 I had to quit work after 26 years because I got it after some B**** ran into my car going 75mph in a 45mph zone.

  • My chiropractor has almost cured me of fibro. It was due to pinched nerves in my spine that showed on x-rays, you just have to go to someone who has experience with actually reading them! Hope this advice helps! Oh yeah and don't say u have already had x- rays and the doctor did not find anything because you need to keep trying and pushing past the obstacles like I did. I could barely walk then, now I can run full speed!

  • I've been turned inside out, have a long list of medication that doesn't work, so never ever tell me such stupid story.

  • The percentage that any nerve impulses going to any part in the body ,that is interrupted is the same percentage of brain activity. Upper cervical specific doctors can help, go to( up c spine ). in other words fibromyalgia can be caused by a nervous system that is not working right. Everyone should know about this. Avoid Diversified and full body chiropractors and mixers.

  • Irish since you are a(self-proclaimed) researcher maybe you should check out the research on substance p and broaden your horizons.By the way just because an article was published doesn't make it accurate.G-d forbid someone you know and love that has this and doesn't go into remission maybe you will get it and understand that people need compassion.If your research was right and this was all in my head and you suggested to get over it, what would that make you.A DONKEY!

  • See Doctor Rotcod's video on Energy! :-)

  • You are uninformed. I have an HMO insurance. There is no way they would pay for treatment of a "fake disease." The University of Michigan has a treatment program for this condition. Comments like yours represent very old, ignorant attitudes. Maybe diabetes is all in people's heads too. Do some research on legit sites.

  • I have had this for over ten years ... and a completely redneck comment to you is bite my ass.... everyone else please forgive the harsh language but its people like this idiot that has made my struggle so difficult. How dare you say to anyone that there pain is not real that they are in unfulfilled relationships... So what you are saying is because you have done research that that makes you informed. Live my life for one day and tell me its fake.

    your a donkey

  • I love it!!!!!!! I too get so tired of people looking at me as though I am full of poop. I say the same thing -- live a day in my life -- donkey -- LOL (although, it is really not funny)

    soft hugs,

    Susie

  • THANK YOU SUSIE People who believe the way Irish does is why this doesn't get the PROPER research. A bunch of small minded ego jerks that think they know everything are in a position to try and discredit approx 20 million people. In the beginning I bet people with hiv were also told that it wasn't real, or people with Severe Depression were told they caused there own problems. Thank G-d that there are people who DON'T listen to guys like this and figure out the real cause, despite the idiots.

  • dear ass,

    your such a cruel and insensitive jerk! no ones trying to make you understand and have sympathy, but have some compassion for gods sakes! iam 17 years old, ive got a great family, great friends, a great boyfriend. nothing is wrong with or my psyche..and guess what? i was just diagnosed with this crippling disease 2 days ago. i wont be able to play any sports next year, or enjoy my senior year. i cant sleep because the pain is so bad, why on earth would i make all that up?

  • wtf dude? i didnt even reply to you. and your research..who the hell would let you do research? dont talk about my boyfriend..hes more man that you will ever be. and get your little insecurities figured out, because i happen to be 5'8 and 125 lbs. but yea..i guess that makes me overweight. right. and..um..in your research..you might have also found out that fibro is a genetic disorder, and that parents can pass it down to their kids.

  • Songstress, I learned a long time ago (I've had FM 17 yrs)) that our energy is TOO PRECIOUS to waste giving it to naysayers.

    You are too important, keeping your stress low is too important, to listen to someone with no credentials who says such hateful things! The best thing we all with FM can do is support each other, and be as positive as we can!

    Hang in guys! FM is real, but it need'nt define who you are. You are God's creation, and He "don't" make junk!

    {{gentle hugs}}

  • so true..thanks =)

  • You're so welcome!

  • What wonderful advice. We have to manage our limited energy so carefully... I've learned to spend my "spoons" (google "spoon theory" for a cute story on how to explain your fms symptoms to a friend) day to day. Mean people who can't relate and for SOME reason don't have more to their lives than going around watching things they hate on youtube... don't deserve your time Songstress. Think about it... they're choosing to watch things they hate or that anger them... THEY ARE CRAZY. Enough said. :)

  • I am a 41 year old male that also has Firbomyalgia and I just recieved my "Living With Firbomyalgia" DVD and I must say, you guys did a great job on it!!!!

  • I need help.

    I'm 59. My life has been radically changed by fibromyalgia: pain, short term memory loss, lack of energy, weight gain, waking up from pain, difficulty sleeping without prescriptions.

    My husband is ill, unable to grasp "brain fog" is abusive verbally and causing great additional stress.

    Accupuncture helped the pain.

    I'll switch to veg't. asap.

    Let's share what we've learned.

  • i am a fibromyalgia patient. it is extreamly painful, but a wonderful remedy i have found, honestly, is medicinal marijuana

  • Was it had to get your Doctor to get you set up with medical marijuana? I have hear other Fibro suffers talk about it as well.

  • My old MD would never ever consider this option for me. I have to fight tooth and nail to get a low dose hydrocodone.

    I hope it works for you, if you can get it.

  • Get a new Dr

  • KImberly,

    Are you aware that eating raw food will alleviate the symptoms and help you get more energy? I was a bodybulider, I can understand your frustration. Since I switched to raw food (there's 5 weeks ago), I don't have pain anymore and I have a lot of energy, it is amazing! I used to have pain everyday and fibrofog too!

    Hope that helps,

    Karine

  • I myself have been diagnosed with MANY diffenrent diagnoses and NOW FINALLY I have what I know for sure to be my problem, Fibromyalgia. It is very painful. I live each day not knowing what to expect. I am a body builder and I DO NOT want to give that up

  • Nobody understands this. People think it's all in your head or that you're just making it up. Doctors don't understand or believe either. Sometimes it take years to figure it out. Awareness is the key!

  • I know! I was told to go see a psychologist, but I didn't want to beacuse I knew I wasent all in my head. And just a couple days ago I was diagnosed Fibromyalgia.

  • My MD had me take a phyc eval as he wanted to start me on disability. I don't want that and not going to start the process, but went to the eval. After I was finished the Dr. asked me WHY my MD sent me. She said I was not in any way shape or form phycotic. No problem with me. However, she did have a prob with my meds. Thank God I was not the only one!

  • Fibromyalgia is definitely not fake. It's not just pain. It's debilitating, life-changing, I-want-to-kill-myself-just-so-­the-pain-will-stop kind of pain. It's not being able to sleep because of the pain. Stab yourself with a hot poker and imagine that kind of pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Medication doesn't work; not even the "officially approved" medication. That's what's crap. It's a sick joke that only exacerbates the symptoms. I wouldn't wish this syndrome on my worst enemy.

  • HMM stevenberger would you say that if you had fibromyalgia? NO. you wouldnt.

    you example is pathetic. i cant do the dishes because my pinky hurts.

    it affects your whole body, extreme pain with no relief. and you dont have energy either.

    get your facts straight before you say something like that. this is very real. like InfidelPirateQueen i would wish this on my worst enemy. this is living hell for us sufferers.

  • edit - i WOULDN'T wish this on my worst enemy.

  • huh?

  • I'm 14 and have Fibromyalgia, the support you get in the UK is rubbish. i have to fight to get help because there is no funding for children with FM.

    believe me it aint an easy illness to live with. just because we may not look sick doesnt mean we arent ill.

  • go to a good acupuncturist... he might help the pain

    WOrk on your anger issues

    Have you had any surgeries? Your scars need to be treated

  • yea i'm going to have acupuncture soon! i hope anyways lol

    anger issues? i havent got a problem with anger. the start of depression yes. above i was merely stating the facts. the UK health service doesnt want to help me because it will cost them money.

    i have never had any surgeries. i dont have any scars. where did you get the indication that i have had surgery from?

  • Anger or undealt issues ( even if you are not aware! Actually the worse ones are the ones you are not aware of... ) will not allow you to solve the problem.

    About the anger issue read Louise L Hay book "You can heal your life".... very interesting... it should be availiable n your local library...

    I didn't get any indication of surgeries that you had... but people that have had surgeries and have scars definitively have got issues with energy circulation... which take you to pain.
