If you are interested in a cure. I said CURE not just help.

Some of the posters there swear by it anyway. My wife is taking it now and has noticed a difference already.
I thought we could post book recommendations here. I know I have written down books that other freepers have recommended. Now I am afraid to write the name of the book.
You pimp your website on just about ALL of your posts and frankly,nobody here wants to constantly hear about your disease and your the rest of your life's problems.
I'm one of those who have bad side effects to the pain meds, don't like the 'drunk' or muzzy headed feelings of their "Happy" pills. So use asprin, tylenol and advil to manage the pain of the Fibro and Osteo Arthritis in my back, hands and knee.
Mild exercise is a MUST to help keep the pain down.
My sister has a terrible time with fibromyalgia. She has been able to cure rheumatoid arthritis with diet and supplements but the fibromyalgia is more stubborn. Thanks for this thread.
I also have fibro and life can be very tough at times. But my best advice to you, no matter what relief you may seek (and I have tried many things also) it is best to try to live beyond the daily pain and aches that no one else can understand (except one who has it) and live in a way that is strong, full, positive, optimistic and determined. I very rarely talk about my FMS because I do not want a pity party and I do not want to sink into becoming weak or becoming a victim. THis is the best way I keep from letting this disease get the best of me. I REFUSE to accept victim status. Be strong and courageous and do not spend your whole life, time, energy, resources dwelling on FMS. Get beyond it.
(For pain, besides drugs (codiene works best for me but I can't take it very often as you can imagine!), VERY HOT TUBS really help take the edge off pain. Some days I am literally on fire from my TMJ joints in my jaw, down to my ankles. Soaking in a VERY hot tub really helps, especially if I cannot sleep.
Also, if you have insurance, see if you can get a special mattress. It was a miracle, but when we had good insurance with my husband's concern, they paid 80 per cent of a Tempur-pedic mattress for me. (My rheumatologist had to write a note recommending it for me.) I only had to pay a few hundred dollars for this incredible mattress. It has really helped my sleep (which is wretched enough). If you can't go that route I have noticed some mattress toppers made of Tempur-like material that are affordable.)
Anyway, best wishes to you in solidarity, stay strong and KEEP GOING!
i do know that there are alot of natural medicines out there for your condition. my daughter is living proof of how herbs can help, she had 9 different fungus's in her brain and nervous system, in which ear specialist told me that the black substance she had in her ears was normal, but after just 3 days of being on the herbs the fungus's were completely gone. the black substance was fungus. her eyes would dialate all of the time. and the herbs stopped that also. her getting this problem didnt start till 3 days after receiving vaccines, although the doctors said noway the shots caused this. of course they have to say that don't they. maybe you should look further into herbs, i really do think they could help you.
This website was set up to discuss politics, culture and conservativism. How does fibromyalgia - and touting your own website - fit into that mix?
A friend of mine takes Paxil in the morning and Elavil at night. It worked for her. She researched it and took the research to her doctor and he let her try this drug combo. I talked to my doctor and a nurse about it and they said Oh no you should never take those two drugs together. Well, it has worked for Jeannie for YEARS!
My son used to take imipramine at night - for bedwetting and Ritalin then later Cylert by day for attention deficit. It helped. I have had "experts" tell me you can't take both of those drugs. Well, it worked in this house.
