Hi, no I've never heard of such-but at this point..I would try anything!! where do u get it?? How does it taste?Yes I agree with u very much so,others they are not in pain like us or have never suffered from chronic pain like us just cannot possible understand what we go through!! I know that sounds bad, but I think it is true! I believe the can try to understand given they wish too& take the time too.....and I believe people who do such can understand to a certain degree! I know this is true, because of my husband!! He is so great & takes such good care of me!! And I know he understands more than anyone could that hasn't actually expierienced this kind of chronic horrible pain!!
You can actually order the juice off the internet. The brand name is Mona Vie and they have a website. I got mine from a friend who was actually selling for the main company so I got it for the wholesale price of $35 a bottle. It looks just like a bottle of wine and one bottle lasts 2 weeks. I think the retail price is anywhere from $45 to $50 a bottle. The lady I got it from told me it tasted like blackberry juice and it does except it has an awful "wang" at the end. I usually chase mine with milk just to wash away the taste, but believe me it is well worth it! It is pricey, but I was desperate. I have 4 young boys to keep up with and I was at my wits end. It is all natural and it definately boosts your energy and it has basically eliminated my swelling. I would advise anyone who suffers with this type of pain to at least give it a try. Now I will tell you that after I had taken it for the first few days I had a BAD flare up and even considered not taking anymore because I thought it was making it worse. But my mom encouraged me to at least finish the first bottle since I had already paid the money for it. I did and after that first spell my swelling went away and I felt better than I have felt in years! I'm glad for you that your husband is so supportive! I know that means a lot!
Sound like it could be used with other drugs like Lyrica. I know that one person on this forum has awful swelling and stopped the Lyrica. Perhaps this could help. Sometimes we need to take a number of things to get the pain under control. for me it is being so tired and fatiqued. I can't stand that, so my Dr. gave me Wellbutrin. Haven't tried it yet, but some of the sx from Lyrica are going away.
OMG THANKS so much i will try it!
I think Dr Oz said something about that juice on Oprah a couple months ago.
Colemomma- I am 32. I was diagnosed with FM about 2 yrs before my 2nd pregnancy. Mine also went completely away while I was pregnant. Actually, stayed away until I stopped breastfeeding. Then WHAMMO! It hit me 20 times worse. I told my hubby I should have been one of those women who breastfeed till their kids are in high school. LOL.
That is so true!! If we could stay pregnant we would be pain free!! I've already got 4 kids so that is not an option I guess, LOL! It amazes me that the powers that be can't find a way to mimic the hormonal effect of pregnancy to treat the fibro. That would be wonderful!!
