Hi Sage !  I'm glad you've decided to join in here, Welcome

All the reading I've done has helped me to retain some semblance of sanity - I like to think ! lol

I've had FM for about 20 years, when I first got it I could barely move out of my rocking chair to look after a new babe and do the most basic of household things !  Sometimes I've done really well and other times, not so much. These days I'm somewhere in between !

 

The information - ?  I think I've an entire  CD full of gathered articles, not to mention clipped mag. articles and books !  What can I say, I'm a real pack-rat when it comes to information about these things !  I subscribe to rather a few "ezines" and find little tidbits here and there.  Now if I could just recall even a good bit of it all, I'd be happy.

 

I think I saw that you have FM, too ??  How long have you had it ?  and how is it affecting you ?

 

 

 

Yes, I have FM, chronic headaches and my back is a source of a lot of pain, too - 3-4 injuries - baseball, tobogganing, skating & another fall !  I was diagnosed with fibrositis about 15 yrs ago because of severe chest pain - I figured I was way too young for heart trouble - lol ! But that only gave me a lable for the stuff that went with it - depression and insomnia, tinnitis.  For the last several years I haven't taken any meds just supplements, homeopathics and herbs. Although I do keep a strong pain med, for exceptional situations. It goes in cycles, I have a really good week 'n then some when I nap an extra 2-3 hrs morning and afternoon ! 

 

I hope your appointments go well. How have you been treating viruses ?

Wow Sage - Good News !  I use garlic caps daily, cayenne is excellent - I used to use it & it really made a difference [the woman-Herbalist/ Irridologist who trained me] was very big on cayenne use; and I love P'au D'arco. Elderberry I've  read a little about, but haven't actually used - what form do you use?
