Question:
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FIBRO LAST JANUARY AND CURRENTLY HAVE 3 DOCTORS TRYING ALL
KINDS OF MEDICATIONS ON ME. I FEEL LIKE I AM A WALKING PHARMACY. ACTUALLY,
STUMBLING IS MORE LIKE IT. I AM EXPERIENCING MORE INTENSE PAIN IN MY FEET
AND HANDS IN THE PAST 5-6 WEEKS THAN EVER BEFORE. THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN MY
HUSBAND HAS TO CARRY ME TO BED, BECAUSE THE PAIN IS SO INTENSE, I CANNOT
WALK. I AM ONLY 42 YEARS OLD AND MY HUSBAND FEELS LIKE I WILL LIKELY END UP
IN A WHEELCHAIR PRETTY SOON IF THINGS DON'T START GETTING ANY BETTER.
PLEASE TELL ME THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN!!! ANYWAY, I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE
FOUND ANY VITAMINS HELPED THEM? I WANT TO START WEANING MYSELF FROM ALL THE
MEDICATIONS I AM ON BECAUSE I FEEL THAT MY BODY IS GOING TO HAVE A CHEMICAL
EXPLOSION ONE DAY!
Answer:
My husband was diagnosed with Fibro recently. He has a history of intolerance
of carbohydrates but has refused to watch his diet. Adding insult to injury he
drinks a lot of Pepsi. I read that carbonation destroys B1 in the system. I
looked up the symptoms of B1 deficiency and they were almost the same as
Fibromyalgia. He experimented. He reduced his Pepsi to one a day. He reduced
his carbohydrate by at least half with other foods. He took a B-complex and
added 2 B1 in addition. He also takes calcium, C and Zinc and vitamine E. His
pain level has been reduced about 50 to 60%. He still has insomnia problems.
He takes only one anti-inflamatory (Naproxen) now instead of 2. He has taken
calcium and E and Zinc before the Fibro symptoms appeared. The low-carb diet
and B vitamins seem to have helped the most. We are excited. Have no idea the
end result. We are now researching the insomnia
problem. I'm in no way qualified to advise. I'm only sharing our experience.
