I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2009. When the treatments for Fibro made my symptoms worse, I went to a DC who did holistic/homeopathic to see if there were natural treatments that didn't exacerbate my condition. After 2.5 hours of testing, it turns out I didn't have Fibro; I had Systemic Candidas. Roughly 80% of the symptoms are the same. I changed my diet, did a system cleanse, and after 3 days of purging my system and stripping all sugar and yeast from my diet, 8 years of agony disappeared.
Several other folks that I talked to followed my advice and started getting themselves tested for food allergies. In almost every case, they had food allergies, not Fibro, and changing their diet greatly improved their health.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the very thoughtful reply. We don’t use a doctor for treatment..we too went the holistic route. I have to say that six years after the most aggressive treatment from the holistic nurse..the wife is having one of the best summers that I can ever remember.
She is gardening (we have two big ones)and she too is fishing. It used to be when she would garden or fish or even visit someplace that she would suffer for a week or two.
When I ask..she says her pain is not bothering her. I question (to myself of course) if she is truly better or if she is just so used to muscle pain and nerve weirdness that it isn’t bothering her as much.
Whatever it is..I pray it continues. In her case, lack of sleep had to be a biggy. She slept 2-4 hours for years. Diet was also horrible before her treatment. Her adrenals were sacked.
I don’t know what fibro is..I just know that it is life changing. She guts it out with no pain pills, aspirin or anything. Don’t know if I could have done the same thing.
