About Fibromyalgia help

[oldcookie]

Is there ANY help yet for Fibromyalgia patients?  That is 'besides' those horrid drugs like Cymbalta & Lyrica that give us wretched side effects.

Hi mscoach,
To REALLY condense my symptoms--they started with various aches n pains (sorta like the flu) and my Dr. was at a loss as to what could be the problem.  It wasn't very long before the aches n pains became VERY painful and were constant in certain areas of my body.  IE::knees, shoulders, elbows, back, feet and burning sensations in my legs and bottom of feet.  Soon I had trouble concentrating, had visual problems, memory was 'touch n go' ...and ALWAYS felt extreme fatigue...yet could NOT get more than a couple hrs. sleep at a stretch.  Whilst having yet another appointment with my Dr.--he happened to have a locum filling in for him and it was 'she' (the locum) who diagnosed me with having Fibromyalgia...after doing the trigger point test.

I am soooo jealous where you live sounds BEAUTIFUL and you both made me hungry for that fish.  Niko and I were trading stories of what fish we were cooking Friday night - he made a lovely trout and I was bbq'ing a lovely whole red snapper.  Thought that was funny!

Please keep me posted about your experience with the hypnotherapist.  Keep in mind that there are people of less than ethical credentials in every walk of life - I could never imagine a practitioner who would tell someone that - I mean if they plant the seed with you in the beginning that you are too negative due to pain doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?  Anyway I guess my point is don't stop because you ran into one holistic practitioner without vision!  Keep seeking!

I'd really love to know how your progress!  I wish you well oldcookie!

What were your symptoms?  I've had chronic pain for awhile and haven't been diagnosed?

I was thinking the same thing..might not be condusive for me to use.  I just found a hypnotherapist in the phone book so will give him a call shortly and see what he has to offer me..or suggest.
I'll keep u posted.
Thank you

I was 'getting' the EFT from a certified psychologist who was very much into the holistic approach for healing.  Even she said that it was very difficult to re-align my chakras b/c the negative energy of my pain was of such a high level.  I found that MOST frustrating.
This fish u bought at the Marina...I live right across the hwy from that Marina!!!!
I often am awoken to the sounds of the seals barking when the fishing boats come into the harbour.  Especially during herring season.
Yes...GREAT energy by the ocean any so many aspects.  As I type this..we are having a wicked rain/wind storm so I can hear the giant waves breaking.
I will check on the website you posted and again I thank you.
Cheers.

HI old cookie - it was me who said I use the backnobber - it is used to do trigger point therapy on yourself - a lot of my issues are muscular - this doesn't sound like the case for you so I would not use it.  You can read about it on amazon.com but based on your post - probably not for you.
