Can Fibro be beat???

When I found out I had Fibro, I had pretty much already figured out myself that I had it. My sister has it really bad so I knew about the symptoms and such.

I live a healthier life style then my sister so I have to admit that I was surprized! But I decided right then and there that unlike my sister... I was NOT going to just roll over and give into this disease without one hell of a fight! I watched her go through point injections and be so doped up on pain meds all the time! She can't have a normal life! I decided NO WAY! Not for me! I WILL find a better way!!!

I learned long ago because of my sister and what she goes through that DR.s (most) really don't give a crap about patients with Fibro, they medicate them to shut them up from crying about the pain all the time.

Here is what I've done to FIGHT this;

1. change my eating habits..no white flour, pasta, rice, bread, etc...

2. NO SUGAR! I only use raw honey, stevia, or xylitol

3. No SODA

4.Good PURE WATER, I drink Distilled now!

5. Eat LESS meat! and then only Organic and grass fed

6. Very limited DAIRY and then only organic

7. Organic free range eggs

8. LOTS organic veggies and fruits

My pain got better just by these changes alone. Then I started reading about ALL NATURAL herbs and such for pain and inflamation. Tried many. Finally found one that has actually put my Fibro into remission! (It's listed on my profile page) IT's a botanical fruit extracts of ALL the magic juices. This has had an incredible effect on my life as it also took away my insomnia and osteoarthritis pain in my knees and over active bladder symptoms.

Then I started doing some all natural cleanses, colon, and candida so far! Again VERY helpful!!!

I make sure I get some type of DAILY exercise...walking, stretching nothing drastic...just movement.

I'm living proof that Fibro can be beat for the most part! Does it take alot of work and effort on MY part? YOU bet it does! But, being in remission from the pain is worth every bit of my work!

I have a motto for my life now;

"BE PRO-ACTIVE...NOT RE-ACTIVE WITH MY HEALTH"

I am reaping the benefits from this everyday!

If I depended on Dr.s, I know for a fact that I would still be in active pain today.

Do I have good days and bad days...sure - if I overdue it. Do I still get flare ups...sure, but, that's much better then being in pain ALL the time!

I encourage everyone to take your own "self" journey....read, study, try different things and find what works for YOU!

I have lost about 50 lbs by walking my dog daily and cutting down on portions. (not doing well with that in the past 3 months) and that has helped alot. I am still a good 40 lbs over weight and hope to keep losing. maybe that will help with the pain a little more.

But, I have accepted that I will always have pain. I don't like it and I am not happy about it. But for now, for me, it's the only realization I have.

I am so happy that you were able to find something for you. Maybe others can benifit from it as well. I am always greatful when I hear new ideas and new treatments. It keeps me hopefull! Thanks
