My Mom has Fibro and I don't think she's ever read this book. Thanks for telling us about it. I'm sorry you've been diagnosed with it! I know how awful Fibro can be, but don't lose hope because you're right, God is bigger than it. May He remove that pain from you altogether! Blessings,
Yes, I know several people who've been diagnosed with fibro, and I don't think any of them have read this book. I'll be sure to tell them about it.
So sorry about your diagnosis, but now that you know what the problem is for sure, you can do something about alleviating it. (NOT knowing is lots worse.)
I am familiar with it as I do know someone that has had it quite a while. I'll be praying for healing for you. I believe our Lord is the Great Physician.
Praying God bless you and keep you through this. Pete has suspected he might have fibro. Maybe come June when his medicare kicks in he can start to find real answers. Barbara Life & Faith in Caneyhead
So sorry to read that you have fibro. My BFF has had it for many, many years since her early 40's. Unfortunately it wasn't diagnosed straight away (they thought it was repetitive strain injury at first) and it wasn't until she was in an extremely bad way that she diagnosed. I am so glad to hear you are being so positive about kicking it. Best of luck to you. xx
Good Luck! I have had fibro since around 2000 or maybe earlier. I thought I could mind over matter it and kept pushing myself (was in college, for goodness sake, what else could I do) which only made it gradually get worse and worse. Eventually had to quit college and ended up housebound and on disability. I sleep a lot more soundly since I moved here in 2005 and have a lot less stress, but even though better sleep has improved the chronic fatigue quite a bit it has not improved the pain level. But I guess mine is a pretty extreme case and I have other health issues besides.
I am glad you were diagnosed early and I pray you find something that works for you. This is a newer book. I've read dozens--and articles--and online info. There are many theories. Some even suggest it could be caused by a virus and/or related to chronic inflammation and/or is an autoimmune disease and/or triggered by lack of sleep over a long period of time and/or a physical trauma to the body. There are a lot of theories out there.
A friend was telling us yesterday about some of the benefits she has noticed so far from transcendental meditation. Looking at what you have learned, I wonder if such a thing would help provide any relief....
Thanks for this post. I should probably look further into this since I have had a LOT of stress over the past year (mostly compliments of my oldest son ;-/ ) and the pain in my knee has gotten so much worse and the muscle pain has spread. I also teach A hour at school so get up super early usually get in bed too late. I will do some further reading and talk to my doc. I have been feeling for sometime that I need to give up sugar but have been really weak, but I, like you, probably need to view that as toxic to me. Thanks again!
No I don't know anyone with fibro but at least you now know what the problem is and hopefully you can do something about it and take steps to help you feel better it sounds like a terrible condition to have
At least you have a course of action - I hope it offers some comfort. The client I work with for my job has fibromyalgia. She does many of the things you have mentioned (no sugar, the gym when she's up to it). It does seem to help.
Oh I will pray for you. A dear soul sister of mine has suffered for years with this (12 years) matter of fact. She finally got on the right medication to help her plus a lifestyle change which wasn't easy for her. Now she will tell you that she knows when she will have a spell with it (as she calls it) and most of the time it is because she has went back to burning the midnight oil, lack of rest, not eating right and etc. I will be praying for you and yes, OUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY PROBLEM WE HAVE! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Glad to hear you are so upbeat about the diagnosis. Thankful too, that there are avenues to build strength and find relief. Will pray for you on this journey.
So sorry. Glad you do have an answer now though as at least you do have concrete things you can do to help it. I would have a hard time with the sugar.
