Fibromyalgia

[MM]

Hi all,

Have any ideas on things to do to provide some comfort and help with the aching and the pain.  Are there any foods that help with Fibromyalgia.  I'm asking this on behalf of my mom, who also suffers from sleep disorders and diabieties.  She's had sleep trouble for at least 30 years.  She has trouble falling asleep and also wakes up during the night and has trouble falling back asleep. 

 

Any thoughts or suggested would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot!!!

Mahar, I know your diet is already wonderful. But, I'd consider stopping gluten and/or dairy for 6 weeks and then adding one back for a few days, observing for changes. Then add the other back, if no issues.

 

I bet she'd feel better without them.

I suffer terribly from Fibromyalgia as well as diabetes and Sjogrens all auto immune issues. I have truly found that positive thinking and mediation help with the pain. I also take Cymbalta. I also have found that a sleep aid works. I really have not found anything homeopathic as of yet. I have joined this site to find others that may suffer like myself.  Nothing really works 100%. I think is just part of my journey in life. I deal with it daily. It is not easy. I wish there was more I could say to help your Mom. Just be supportive of her. <3

Hi Melissa,

Thx 4 sharing about your situation.  I think it helps to know there are others also who suffer from similar ailments.  Over the yrs, traditional Dr.'s have convinced my mom that she's crazy or they simply can't help her.  She's a tough woman but needs to know what to do.  Will share here any remedies that work for her.

 

Thanks & take care,
