Fibro Foolishness

I have dealt with the many symptoms that come with Fibromyalgia for many years, although it has taken my doctors a long time to come to the conclusion of this diagnosis. Of course there are numerous tests to rule out all of the other diseases that are similar and some overlap with Fibromyalgia. Through the years there have been many well meaning people offering up remedies and various treatments and so called cures. I have learned to be very skeptical toward most of them since I have tried many, to no avail! For the most part, they are money makers for someone! Be careful if someone is trying to sell you a cure for Fibromyalgia! There is not one! The research that has been done so far has not proven out any one theory and there are many as to the causes, and many as to what will help. Really, until the research is 100% sure of what it even is, and what causes it, then the cure is non- existent. So...just saying ,be careful; and don't waste your money trying to buy everything out there that claims to cure it! The best thing you can do for yourself is get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, eat plenty of meat, fruits and veggies, and don't overdo on your good days or you will pay for it for the next few! Make sure you have a doctor who knows Fibromyalgia...and since it does affect the central nervous system, it makes sense to have a Neurologist....mine is great! Beware of the Fibro Foolishness!
