Public Comments
1. Omega 3 Oils and Magnesium.Get it from your diet as well.
Stop eating processed foods.
Stop eating fried foods.
Stop eating wheat.
Find an alternative source for calcium - stop consuming dairy products.
2. there is no best medicien--it is differnt fr every one
NSAIDS don't work as tehri is no inflammtion
the otehr 2 approved meds are CYMBALTA and SAVELLA whicha re SNRIs--also other neds that regulate teh neuro transmitters
you cna try alternatives to LYRICA--other anti seizure meds--not helped me...
rela fms is a neuro condition--any treatment--even alternative neneds to focus of regulating teh neuro suystem
be carefula bout what people say cured tehm--fms is highly over diagnosed by incompetant docs--many are stiulll saying ther is inflammtion---people taht have been cured never had real fms

Subject: You need to get a medical background job...
Message: ...so that you can get registered to receive real medical information both in lectures and snail mail and on the Internet by paying for it.
One medical researcher doing "research" on YOU does not constitute peer reviewed medical knowledge.
Read "The Inflammation Cure " by toxicology and immunology professor William Joel Meggs.
"Fibromyalgia" involves inflammation unseen by the naked eye. It is in the brain.
Get yourself a reputable neurologist - a movement disorder one. Have a gentetic screening test done and start making yourself healthy with food instead of advising the misinformed to take more drugs with many side-effects. Stay out of the sun.
Any good medical doctor knows that there are foods that promote inflammation and foods that reduce inflammation. However unscrupulous ones enjoy using uninformed ones as guinea pigs to try out new medicines and bogus, not peer reviewed treatments.
Diet does work. I am living proof. I have a progressive neurological condition as well as a medical background.
Stop hacking into peoples accounts and using multiple YA accounts to annoy people. I have reported you to the appropriate police unit for cyber crime in the past. They know who you are.
LIES FROM AVONLEA--
STOP HACKING INTO ACCOUNTS
( iw oudln't if i copudl)
STOP USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
(ther eis one otehr answer here--and one thumbs down--how does taht indicate i am using mulitple acounts--yes i ahve an old account--but only 1 i am currently using..i got a new email address due to sapm so i had to start a new account)
THERE IS NO INFLAMMTION--taht is a known fact..the 'not seen by teh huamn eye' shit is crap..
WHO SAID THAT ONE REASERACHER DID SOMETHING WITH ME--it was a group--accosiated with one of teh TOP RESARCHERS IN TEH US
what makes your research right and mine wrong...and this resaerch was done on many otehrs--and involved more tahn just teh study i was involved in..and yes they are published and peer reviewed............what make s you think you aren't
are you the one taht was bitching about the HON code--i have found websites with teh HON code taht have mistakes--and i have ahd tehm corrected when i find tehm...HON code isn't as relaible as people would liek to think--i have even heard of major issues with WEBMD
YOU HAVE REPORTED ME FOR CYBER CRIME__HA HA AHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
WTF-thanks for the laugh--
tell me who they are so i can report yOU >>>>>>>
DIET DOES NOT ALWEAYS WORK__ESPECIALLU FOR REAL FMS__I AM LIVING PROOF__I GOT WORSE WHEN I WS HEATY A VERY HELATHY DIET AND EXERCISING
eating right will generally optimize your body--but it wil not treat reaf fms---it may help take teh edge off since teh rest of your body is stronger--but won't help teh fms itself
stop playing with the ducks--you are quacking too loudly
sorry for posting thsi publically--you do not allow email--and you are now blocked--i don't speak duck
YOU ARE TEH ONE THAT NEEDS TO STOP THUMBSDOWNING GOOD ANSWREs
AVONLEA- I AM TEMPORARILY UNBLOCKING YU SO YOU CAN RESPOND TO MY QUETSION

RE NALTREXONE--this is an area of research--there is a new med inteh works for weihht loss--it is a combinationof naltrexone and wellbutrin--it may be available next year..THE ONE MISATKE IN TAHT POST IS TAHT IT IS NOT BELIEVED THAT FMS IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE__I ADDRESSED THIS WITH SOMEONE ELSE__BY CLAIMING THAT IT IS AUTOIMMUNE__YOU DISCREDIT TEH VALIDITY OF TEH TREATMENT
BTW__DR JOHN SARNO__IN A PEER REVIEWED BOOK (BY DR OZ) CLAIMS FMS IS PSYCHOSOMATIC__SHOUDL WE BELEIVE THIS TOO?
someone who has access to paid medical journals should aslo have access to teh ones (WHICH OUTNUMBER TEH QUACKERY) that say ther eis no inflammtion in fms--
and you can still read medical jouranls without being a registered medical pro--more evidence tahta ceratn perosn has mental problems---you don't necessarily need to ahve a sibscritpion---a person with the subscritption cangive you copies
3. I still haven't figured this one out. The last medication I tried was CYMBALTA, but I was affected with major memory loss of entire days! After an MRI, ECG, and other tests determined my brain was okay (well, according to the test results, anyway LOL), I went off the CYMBALTA and things went back to normal. I'm sure it doesn't affect everyone that way, but I'm scared to try anything else now.
4. Low dose naltrexone - or LDN. check it out - it`s something your doctors will never tell you about because it`s cheap!
people have been taking it for years for Fibro but it`s used off label so you have to find a doctor willing to think outside the box.
5. Chinese medicine addresses fibromyalgia by alleviating the root imbalances that lead to fibromyalgia; this article explains how to reverse FMS with Chinese herbs:

There are also many pure natural essential oils that you can use topically for muscle pain related to fibromyalgia that help purge dampness caught in the muscle tissue:

6. After attempting to read the looooong post below, which should not even be here, because that is called chatting, which is not allowed and the absence of the spell check use makes it makes it extremely hard for us to read!
But, like one of them said, everyone reacts differently to different meds. Also, make sure you are getting enough sleep. The body cannot heal itself without deep, restorative sleep. so, perhaps in some case it is best to treat the insomnia, so that the Fibro can take time to heal. Neurontin is a good sub for lyrica, but if Lyrica does not work, it is doubtful that another anticonvulsant will help the pain. Read this web site below. It is good, proven information. Also, support groups online are very helpful to get ideas and support for this painful, life changing condition.
I manage 3 online support groups for Restless legs syndrome, and lots of us have Fibro, too. We always find it is best to trat underlying problems, like the insomnia, GERD, etc, and the primary problem seems to improve in some cases. I cannot take any of the Fibro approved drugs, but have taken opiates for another chronic pain problem (my back) for 6 yrs, and they have helped all over, without addiction, for a lot of my problems.
