I agree with cre8tiveDir, Chevychick7, and Lynne Matallana. As a Fibromyalgia attorney, I can assure you Fibromyalgia disability is very real. We have represented multiple cases where individuals have been through much pain, suffering, and treatments. Unfortunately, doubt from doctors and insurance companies is very common, because Fibromyalgia is so complicated.
I have been in bed with muscle pain for 5 yrs. 2 months ago I inadvertently discovered a supplement that completely took away all my muscle pain after only 4 days. The supplement contains all the amino acids. This tells me that I must have a metabolic disorder in which I am not able to break down protein into the amino acids. The product is only sold at In Shape Gyms or ordered on line. This is the name of the co. Craig Nutraceuticals, Inc Amino Focus. It is the one in the purple label.
WTF
My pain is real too!!! Just you wait until a doctors wife or child gets this disease…then it will change, OR a celebrity. Right? Then someone will take notice.
hmph this doctor wouldnt know fibromyalgia if it hit him (actually maybe he might understand)
everyday is just pain pain pain.
Im one of the rarer cases of fibromyalgia as im a 24yr old male.
Iv been suffering from this CHRONIC pain problem since i was 14.
Now at 24 its worse then ever and its starting to effect my job (its not considered a disability in Australia)
Tell me why does a doctor like this have the right to comment on something he knows fuck all about.
This Dr. doesnt know how to be in pain. How can you say its only in your head if all your muscles, ligaments & tendons in your body hurt? Im 45 y/o and started havng pain on my neck &shoulders 10 yrs ago, now its all over .just scared of taking pills coz of side effects but pain is just gettin worse evryday. fr the tip of my fingers down to my toes,hav migraine & IBS too. All my labs and MRIs are negative .feel so depressed, cant do anything for 20mins straight w/out taking a break.
Boy they sure did not give fibro much time…Just watched another video on You Turbe by Dr. Sean Mackey of Stanford University. It’s very long and will help you better understand the disease and what is going on in the scientific community in regards to research….Don’t have the thread handy…sorry….
Nice to hear I’m not alone. I read Orange Juice makes it worse, and it’s true! The only relief I get is from Vicodin, sometimes, and a warm ocean in Bermuda. No kidding, I only felt human while in either Vegas or Bermuda. Don’t know why. I have learned that doctors are not gods! Good luck, maybe someday there will be a cure!
I do not need anyone else to explain to me what I am feeling and have been feeling. I feel these kind of so called doctors should be commited to the mental institutions!
this sucks i play drums in a band, fibromylgia is this worst thing, i havent gone to the doctor for it yet by i fuckin know i have it……………….MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!
I was a drummer too, and a very good one. Fibromyalgia stole that from me when I was 21. I am 36 now and still have the same problems. I have tried everything that I can think of to try to fix this. I do not have an answer unfortunately.
I have to wonder if maybe our crappy diets have something to do with this.
My dad had similar problems..until he stumbled upon the Candida Diet. Changed his life completely.
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!
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.
Doctor ticked me off. I tried acupuncture for at least 12 sessions and it didn’t help a lick.
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.
no oj, say it’s not so..I crave oj…but then, it does make me feel ill afterwards..but then, lately, all food does….’sigh’ all food does that…I hate fibro…the so called only good thing…I am loosing weight…the hard way…’sigh’…I pray for a cure…right there with your dgruc!!
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.
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 had it for 3 yrs, I wanted to die. I was healed 7 years ago after an encounter with God. I was ready to check out and take my life if He didn’t answer. I don’t know how I had the strength, I didn’t. All the sudden I knew what I had to do. Toxins are so deep inside the body, toxins from stress, medicine and things we eat and drink. I did a major fast and drank water and sweated them out. Took about 30 days. Ate raw food, cut and soft drinks No caffeine, no sugar. Medicine can’t cure this.
@dgruc like you, I.m totally broke. Sad…however. what is Humira?
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.
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.
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.
