Sue,
Elsewhere on this NG is a post I sent regarding Low-Carb and fibro. I have lupus and fibromyalgia (muscle pain) is one of the effects. Low-carb was and is endorsed by my medical professionals named in the other post. If I stray from good eating habits I pay dearly for the experience, both in weight and pain. Good luck, George "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all reasonable doubt"! Sue Larkin wrote: In article , yteme (Cailleachschilde) wrote: Many people with fibromyalgia are actually misdiagnosed and find that they have a different disease. The symptoms are the same and so the doctors are at first confused. My doc said that fibro is diagnosed by ruling out other conditions such as lupus. There is no definitive lab test or xray for fibro but, the aforementioned "tender points" theory seems to be the closest the docs can come at this point. Those of us with fibro do wish that it is a misdiagnosis. So that we have something that is curable, instead of a chronic life-long disease of poor sleep, pain, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction. Yvonne...does low carbing help your symptoms? Aloha...Sue |

Good luck, George Thanks, George. Yes, I saw the other post. Several years ago I perused alt.med.fibromyalgia. I only lurked as that group is very intense. At least it was at that time. I haven't been back. I remember someone posting about their success with LC in AMF. The resultant flames were beyond cruel. It was that person's post that alerted me to the possibilities of LCing and fibro. I was pro low fat and anti low carb at the time but was willing to try anything. It's sad that all fibro sufferers can't have the same relief that LC gives you and me. It's definitely a YMMV thingie! I have the actual syndrome (FMS)...not just muscle pain. The sleep disorder that's part of the syndrome was/is the biggest issue for me. LC improves my sleep. Improved sleep improves all of my FMS symptoms. While that makes my doc happy, what he really likes is what LC does for my lab results! Aloha...Sue |

Aloha...Sue My sleep is improving, somewhat. Its getting better and better. Others with FMS told me about Low Carb and how it improves FMS patients. Other diets suggested to me was the Zone, or The Suzanne Summers Diet. Someone a couple weeks ago, told me about a new testing for Fibro patients. Yet its not available in the US yet. Here is a link that describes it. http://www.autoimmune.com/FibromTest.html |

Yvonne...does low carbing help your symptoms?
Aloha...Sue Yes, very much so....at first. Then my symptoms came back with a vengence. Since then, I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and have cut out gluten entirely--my symptoms have decreased and I'm back to losing weight :0) I think sugar and HFCS causes my pain levels to intensify where painkillers don't help at all. I know a few people with fibro that have improved on a low carb diet. Yvonne |
