Dr Whitcomb as developed the first orthopedic test for Fibromyalgia. This test can be administered in his office and not only gives an absolute diagnosis for Fibromyalgia, but gives a positive indicator about how the patient will respond to treatment.

For more information call 530-543-1800.

if this is true and so great then why arent other docs using it?? KWIM???

Well, I can tell you it's not a state of mind having Fibromyalgia and I didn't eat the wrong pizza slice at the wrong time to get Fibromyalgia and I'm not a big fan of if I only eat these certain things I'll be cured.

That being said, apparently there are some people who do believe that diet can greatly help someone with FM. And that for them apparently it has worked for them. Well I think that's awesome... for them.

I'm very skeptical of anything that says the cure for Fibromyalgia is ...

I tend to stay on the side of science and believe that a cure doesn't exist, yet. However, there have been a good number of people that say that when they have used Lyrica it changed their lives and I truly believe them. I've seen people go from suffering to being able to feel alive again once they've started taking this drug. So if certain people say with a particular diet that they also felt the same way, I can't deny that they feel the way they do and that the method for them didn't work. Apparently it did work and that's great.

Where I get the most angry is when someone keeps emailing me or calling me or Private Messaging me to ask me when I'm going to "LET THEM" help me with my Fibromyalgia when I have expressed little or no interest in that method whatsoever. I'm great with a heads up, but I gotta say that if I'm being hounded by someone about something then for me it's no different than getting telemarketing calls.

Thank you, but with all do respect I did go through the web information offered and didn't personally find it helpful, however, I like to keep an open mind so I'll read some more and see if there are any links to what I believe to be helpful and if so I'll endorse it.

Sorry. But I respect that it works for you and that if you feel it's helping you then that's awesome. But I still hold to what I said in my previous post and hope you will respect that.

Thank you again.

Starlanyl says that FMS is a dysfunction of the HPA Axis and somewhere in her book

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain: A Survival Manual actually defines FMS that way. For quick take: go to Amazon and search for the word "adrenal" you'll find numerous references in the above-mentioned book but here's what she says on page 111

"... the hypothalamus of the pituitary glands (plus the type of gray matter in the nervous system) These glands, with the adrenals, formed the HPA Axis, the functioning of which is disrupted in FMS.
