is MSG on the 'no' list for diet?

[acker]

does anyone find m.s.g. adds to pain/ discomfort in general? i should know better. i had take-away chinese this week and think it has made me more tired. bleah. general shiftlessness, tired head and eyes. and i had just been showing signs of improvement and had been feeling relatively well the few days before!

any other dietary recommendations from anyone?

oh - i've discovered FILTERED WATER! i guess i had been drinking town water all this time - i got a little water filter jug last year - i really recommend it - whether sick or well - yes yes yes!

Yes.  MSG and sulfites both are bad for me.  MSG is known to aggravate migraines, as Trudie mentioned.  I noticed that it aggravates my FMS pain, too.

I was just reading a newsletter from another health site and it indicated some things that can affect fibromyalgia.  MSG is definitely on the list as is aspartame.

I know that MSG makes me feel unwell and causes migraines so it could contribute to the fibro issues.
