I am interested in getting as much information on Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Symdrome, Arthritis, Bursitis, Buldging disk, scrolosis, and other side effects that go alone withw these medical problems.
This is the first time I have been to this site, could you please help me and guide me to where I need to go, I am in pain 24/7 with all the illnesses and any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Kimberly,

Thanks for taking the time to write, and we're glad you dropped by the site. Here is my opinion on this.

1) Unless you really need it, stay away from support groups. I have visited many of them and have not seen a productive one yet. This is a generalization, but most of them are just a place where us women get together to complain. Not much help actually takes place.

2) Spend some time on WebMD. They usually have some good, objective advice. Here is the FM link:
http://www.webmd.com/diseases_and_conditions/fibromyalgia.htm

3) Take the medications your doctor(s) may recommend. They are trying to help, but it can be a tough battle with all of the side effects and possible drug interactions. I know my mother is constantly battling with the interactions in trying to get her FM, CFS, Type 2 Diabetes, BP, etc. under control.

4) Don't be afraid to try some quality nutritional supplements. They tend to take much longer to see the results, but after several months, I know of dozens and dozens of women who have begun to get a certain level of their quality of life back. But, it does take months and years, not days and weeks, usually.

5) Try the 3 things listed above in this Blog Post – Education, Reduction, and Exercise. Reduction is usually a big one (no pun intended :-) ) that causes complications and aggravates the pain, bulging disks, etc.

I hope this has helped Kimberly.

Thanks again, and let us know how things go!

My wife has suffered from fibro for more than 4 years. It has been a constant struggle in our lives. She has tried everything, all the meds, supplements, chiropractic, acupuncture, etc. The ONE this that has helped her the most, hands down is a natural juice supplement from http://www.mymangosteen.com/trinityhart. Her chiropracter recommended it to her and since she started drinking it last May, she has never gone back on the variety of drugs she was previously taking and she feels like a normal person again. This juice actually works when nothing else did. Of course, this juice combined with a balanced diet and excersise and changed her and our lives. She is a much happier person now and is again that woman I fell in love with.

Zach,

Thanks for the comment. I know that many companies, like Xango, offer quality products that can help many people. One of the things I truly desire is for people to rely more heavily on natural products and much less on prescription medication.

One of the problems is medications tend to act quickly and can take away the symptom quickly. Natural products on the other hand, not being toxic, tend to work slower (not always), but can take longer to see the results. However, the results can be much more long term than medications.

It's a tough balance, but they sure didn't have as much fibromyalgia back when we our lives did not have as many toxins. Going natural is my goal.

Hi! I, too like Kimberly, am in pain 24/7 and this is my first time here. When I try a new vitamin or medication, it works great for 2-3 weeks. Then I'm back to intense pain. I am 47, thin build, have lung disease and really can't exercise much anymore. Help!! Also, I have heard that sugar triggers FM pain. Is this true? Thanks for all your help and I will be checking back as frequently as my back will allow. Hang in there all.
