There is hope for sufferers, considering you educate yourself on whole food supplements like the ones Standard Process has to offer. My father was given little chance of survival of skin cancer after working on x-ray equipment at the Veterans Hospitalfor over 30yrs, but after seeing what he had seen for yrs at hospitals treating cancer, he researched and figured his best chance was not to operate and to replenish the body with vital nutrition to fight off the cancer this was in 2006,the man incredibally has beaten the cancer and is as str0ngs as a 20 yr old at 70,heres what you need to know in 2008 I thought I had cancer, from all the fatigue and extreme pain from head two toe, very depressing talked to my father about it he put me on a regiment of wholefood supplements from Standard Process and within a week I felt the pain lesson, by the third week I was feeling like Iwas 20 instead of 40, Standard Process hasbeen in business for over 70 yrs Doctor Bruce West,after reviewing your medical records that u can fax,he will send u a protacol of what to do working with your doctor, you can only order the supplements through your doctor, but some doctors will be against it because they are trained to use pharmacuetical drugs to treat you. For more information on this you may contact me at 540-440-6626 there is freedom from painkillers!!!!!!

Thanks for reaching out here Debbie. Please, please, please let go of any belief that you brought this on yourself. Guilt is such a damaging emotion. The best thing you can do from this moment forward is honor the reality of your condition, and start to slowly make the changes that will improve your life. You may never be as healthy as you once were, but there are many things you can do to make living with FM more bearable.

Start with loving yourself, and believing that you deserve to be happy and healthy. Because you do!

Hi, I was recently diag. with Fibromyalgia. It is such a relief to read the thoughts that are so identical to my own. At times I think I have simply slipped into insanity, because on the good days this seems impossible to believe. I keep thinking that I have brought this upon myself… Thank you each one of you for your posts. I will continue to stop by. Debbie/Oklahoma

Connie I am so thankful for your tears of joy and gratitude. Isn’t it comforting to know we are not alone? That is my purpose for this blog – to share my story in the hopes of making a difference. I am touched by your emotional response, and hope you come back and comment frequently.

I think we all have a tendency to over do it on our good days and ultimately we always pay the price. I hope you are feeling better Adee. I am finally, and it is hard to believe I was feeling that bad so short a time ago.

Our brains and bodies are so kind to not have long term memory. Could you imagine if we never had the moments when we “forget” how awful it can get? I love the days when the pain seems far away!

Thanks Trisha. As you can tell by my blogging frequency, I have been taking it easy, and am actually starting feel pretty good.

“I never see it coming and I struggle so hard against it.” So true!

P.S. I loved your Summer Reading post. It made me want to take a photo of all the books on my night stand too!
