I found a new doctor who is not only an MD, but he's also very knowledgeable about natural supplements, super nutrients, and other non-harmful cures. I'll save you time and delineate what he recommended for my problems with out of control weight gain (even though I eat hardly anything and no sugar or simple carbs), my yeast/fungal overgrowth, and my messed up hormones.

1. The hormones were the big issue. I am going to get bio-identical hormones compounded that address a lot of the issues I've been dealing with including migraines, pain in all my joints, and major brain fog. The compounding pharmacy works with the doctor to come up with the right balance that I need. One of the ways to detect this is by saliva lab tests. They detect what is really going on as opposed to blood tests which are less accurate.

2. To purify my blood of parasites, bacterial infections, and other things he recommended that I use hyssop herbs, which can be obtained at www.HyssopHerb.com. Hyssop has been used for many centuries for all sorts of problems, one of them being toxins in the blood stream.

3. To kill off the yeast/fungal overgrowth I will be taking Oxysilver--click below for their website. The oxygen and silver combination makes a very unfriendly environment for the yeast and fungus and doesn't allow it to spread or grow. If you're wondering if OxySilver is the same thing as Colloidal Silver, read this and check out the microscope photos: http://www.oxysilver.com/aff/Colloidal_Silver_Comparison.html

I'll check in again and let you know how these things have worked. I plan to give a true and unbiased evaluation according to my body's response to these treatments.

Yea for some positive answers for once!

[I thought the historical references after the explanation were really interesting. Apparently this has been around for a lot longer than most people think. Especially my doctor!]

Pain is truly "a four-letter word"®. Pain can neither be seen, felt, touched, nor measured, and the most reliable description we have of pain is from the patient.

If we think of fibromyalgia, or as we should rethink fibromyalgia, we have to look at fibromyalgia as a newer problem, not necessarily as a disease, but we will call it a syndrome. A syndrome is a group of problems, not an individual disease. These groups of problems have unique characteristics, and any one of them might be finding an effective treatment pathway, that helps us unravel the troubling problems caused by fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome. It is, by its nature as a syndrome, not really a disease as people would know.

Taming the fibromyalgia dragon requires understanding of the many aspects of an individual's symptom experience. Are your symptoms from your stomach, muscle? Do you have irritable bowel? Do you have fatigue? Do you have a substantially interrupted sleep pattern? Are you unable to do anything that you used to do due to unrelenting widespread pain? Fibromyalgia is agreed upon as one thing-a disease entity or a painful entity. In fact, fibromyalgia really is a calamity. It took years to be recognized. It was ignored and misunderstood, and there are still doubters who consider this disease a legend more than accepted disease entity.

When we talk about pain, pain is not a traditional disease. We heal, but do not always cure. Think of it like diabetes and hypertension. Fibromyalgia can be managed, but it needs to be managed differently than a standard disease. Remember, it is a syndrome.

The pain is biological, psychological, and social. It affects all parameters, including even a spiritual or religious component. We call it biopsychosocial. We cannot separate these three because the brain will not separate those three.

Fibromyalgia is a disease machine. It takes its own direction, and many people have their own personal experience.

Does fibromyalgia really exist? There is "fibro" history. Two thousand years cannot be wrong.

"Is there nothing to you all that pass by behold and see is there any pain likened to my pain which is done unto me wherewith the Lord has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger?

From above, he set fire to my bones%u2026and I am weary and faint all day." Lamentations 11:12-13.

"%u2026[A]nd whereas the nights are appointed to me when I lie down I say 'When shall I arise and the night be gone' and am I full of tossing to and fro unto the dawning of the day%u2026and the days of affliction have taken a hold upon me. My bones are pierced in me in the night season, and my sinews take no rest." Job 7:3-4, 30:16-17.

Even letters of Bernard Noble (1833-1896) described what many patients quote today. "Is it possible that I am more seriously ill than my doctors think. The pain will not go away%u2026I have been a frozen wretch my whole life, hardly able to stand a whiff of wind or pain. My rheumatic pains leave me no rest. I suffer from stomachaches. My headaches are so terrible that life seems filled with bile%u2026paralyzing fatigue%u2026."

Sir Maningham (1750) described fibromyalgia as a "little fever,"

George Miller Beard (1839-1883) "Living on a plane lower than usual, neurasthenia.

The first rheumatology textbook was in the 1940s by Dr. Hencha ? where he first termed "fibromyalgia". In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology adopted criteria. ACR criteria retired old definitions, eighteen tender trigger points.

The "flawed fibro" concept: Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.

Here's What They Have to Say About Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia (pronounced fie-bro-my-AL-juh) is a real medical condition. It includes all-over muscle pain that can make it hard to do even day-to-day tasks. The pain may vary from mild to severe.

The muscle pain from fibromyalgia is one of the most common types of chronic widespread pain in the U.S. They may not know what is wrong with them or what is causing their pain. They may feel alone.

Once, there was no FDA-approved treatment for fibromyalgia.

LYRICA is the first FDA-approved medicine to treat fibromyalgia in adults, 18 years and older. It can help relieve the unique pain of fibromyalgia.

This Web site will help you learn more about fibromyalgia and LYRICA.

Possible Causes

The exact causes of fibromyalgia still are not known. However, recent research suggests that changes in the central nervous system may be responsible for the chronic pain that comes with fibromyalgia.

Every part of the body receives electrical signals from the nerves in your brain. But sometimes, these nerves can get damaged. And damaged nerves sometimes send extra signals. Signals that healthy nerves would not send. These extra signals may cause pain.

Nerve damage may occur for a few reasons. For example, a viral or bacterial infection. It could also be linked to injury.

Symptoms and Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia

What does fibromyalgia feel like?

People with fibromyalgia typically have many different types of symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms may include:

Chronic widespread muscle pain
Muscle soreness
Tenderness
Flu-like aching
Other symptoms may include:

Problems sleeping*
*LYRICA is indicated for management of fibromyalgia and not for improvement in symptoms such as problems sleeping.

Morning stiffness
Fatigue
Dull pain in the muscles
Even though the pain of fibromyalgia is hard to ignore, it may be difficult for some doctors to identify this condition. For example, no blood test or X-ray can be used to help detect it. Plus, many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia are also found in other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a person must have widespread pain lasting for at least three months. Plus pain in at least 11 of 18 parts of the body called "tender points."
Other factors may contribute in diagnosing fibromyalgia. Only your doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.

Recent findings presented at the 2009 International Association of Chronic Fatigue conference in Reno, Nevada Conference by University of Miami researchers revealed promising potential for Isoprinosine (ISP) in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Sixty one patients were studied, and treatment in all patients resulted in clinical and immunologic improvement.

Isoprinosine (ISP), a non-toxic immune system stimulant, is a nucleoside, which is a basic compound comprising cells. It is extremely safe and has been available in Ireland and Canada for 20 years. Until now ISP has not been extensively utilized in the U.S. Although the University of Miami study was small, and larger placebo controlled studies are necessary, these preliminary findings are quite promising for sufferers of this relentless condition.

ISP has been studied extensively in AIDS research and Sub Acute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis (SSPE). Researchers in Brazil have published results that ISP may even inhibit replication of viral RNA. Latent viruses are often associated with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

ISP has shown promise in treating CFIDS specifically via its immune modulating functions. Cheney, et al, has shown that ISP enhances Natural Killer (NK) cell function which is known to be suppressed in many CFIDS and FM patients.

I have been using Isoprinosine in selected patients for several years with favorable clinical outcomes in the majority of cases. ISP is more cost effective than other immune modulators and may therefore be a more viable option for some patients.

The Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers Inc. are dedicated to treating chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia using an integrated comprehensive approach.

Look at the list of symptoms that doctors have chalked up to "somatization":

"Some of the numerous symptoms that can occur with somatization disorder include:

Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Nausea
Bloating
Diarrhea
Pain in the legs or arms
Back pain
Joint pain
Pain during urination
Headaches
Shortness of breath
Palpitations
Chest pain
Dizziness
Amnesia
Difficulty swallowing
Vision changes
Paralysis or muscle weakness
Sexual apathy
Pain during intercourse
Impotence
Painful menstruation
Irregular menstruation
Excessive menstrual bleeding"

That all according to www.fibromyalgia.com.

You might as well not go to doctors because it's all in your mind. You're a psycho. You're nuts. Just kidding! :) I was getting into that doctor role there just a wee bit too much!

Fibromyalgia Facts

Here are some facts about fibromyalgia to help you better understand this common cause of widespread pain.

1) The muscle pain from fibromyalgia is one of the most common types of chronic widespread pain in the U.S. It affects millions of Americans. However, LYRICA may not be right for everyone.

2) People with fibromyalgia typically have many different types of symptoms. Some of the most common include chronic widespread muscle pain. Other symptoms may include: muscle soreness, tenderness and flu-like aching, problems sleeping;* stiffness and fatigue, and dull pain in the muscles.

3) According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a person must have widespread pain lasting for at least three months. Plus pain in at least 11 of 18 parts of the body called "tender points."

4) Fibromyalgia mostly affects women. In fact, 80-90% of those diagnosed are women. Men can have fibromyalgia, too.

5) People with fibromyalgia have been shown to experience pain differently from other people. Scientists believe that the condition may be due to injury, emotional distress, or viruses that change the way the brain perceives pain, but the exact cause is unclear.

6) Fibromyalgia was once thought to be a mental disorder, but studies have shown it is not a psychological condition. People with fibromyalgia actually experience a heightened sensitivity to pain.

7) Exercise, such as walking, jogging, biking or gently stretching muscles may help ease the pain of fibromyalgia. So can having good emotional support and medication. People with fibromyalgia have more treatment options than they did in the past. Before starting any exercise program please consult with your doctor.

8) Fibromyalgia can be treated by several types of healthcare providers. Family physicians, general internists, and rheumatologists are the doctors who typically treat fibromyalgia.
*LYRICA is indicated for management of fibromyalgia and not for improvement in symptoms such as problems sleeping.

New Fibromyalgia Treatment

There is increasing evidence that a regular exercise routine is essential for all fibromyalgia syndrome patients. This is easier said than done because increased pain and fatigue caused by repetitive exertion makes regular exercise quite difficult. However, those patients who do get into an exercise regimen experience worthwhile improvement and are reluctant to give up. In general, FMS patients must avoid impact loading exertion such as jogging, basketball, aerobics, etc. Regular walking, the use of a stationary exercycle and pool therapy utilizing an Aqua Jogger (a flotation device which allows the user to walk or run in the swimming pool while remaining upright) seem to be the most suitable activities for FMS patients to pursue. Supervision by a physical therapist or exercise physiologist is of benefit wherever possible. In general, 20 minutes of physical activity, 3 times a week at 70% of maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) is sufficient to maintain a reasonable level of aerobic fitness.
