That’s terrific that you found gluten and casein were your triggers, and now you have relief! Did you use the LEAP protocol (MRT) to figure that out? I haven’t tried LEAP but have heard that some people have used it to identify their triggers.
no, I actually read a book called the Diet Cure, to figure out why I am so insane! When I removed gluten/casein virtually all symptoms from anything/everything were fixed. Seriously.
I had no idea that the problem was in my gut. I thought the entire problem was in my head. (Because, of course, that’s what doctors/demi gods tell you and what your -sarcasm here - loving, supportive family tells you.) I didn’t even realize I had muscle/joint problems until they were GONE. I just thought I was hopelessly insane and going to wind up in a loony bin.
Wouldn’t it be nice if people knew these things.
Wow! I wonder if you never had fibro at all, but it was the allergy all the time!!
to you for having to put up with all the dumb docs and “well-meaning” family members 
Wish nobody had to put up with that! And just about all of “us” with these symptoms do! 
At least now you know its NOT in your head.
hi there all, I am a Chronic Fatigue sufferer as well. I have something similar to FM but it is Myofascial Pain Syndrome. I read that it differs from FM in several ways but the only one I have noticed is that the pain pressure points come and go and may be in different areas. I have other issues such as a Lupus type illness, Severe Raynaud’s Phenomenon, malabsorption, and borderline diabetes. Most times my sugar level is good but it seems to go haywire without warning. I have other issues as well but too numerous to mention. My symptoms are annoying but so far they are not life threatening. I am 44 and have been on Medical Leave from my job for a while now. I miss working very much but I get muscle weakness and have issues with back and neck pain. I can’t do a lot of things for extended hours and must switch up positions often
Oh my, Christine! Wishing for good days for you!
I don’t have those problems, but I have my own assortment of conditions… Don’t want clutter up the fibro thread with them though.
