Do you think that Fibromyalgia is related to the persons’ weight? Can losing weight help with the Fibromyalgia symptoms? Tell us in the comments!
Saturday morning, so much to do!…. but, guess what?; an intense pain on my feet, elbows, and right hip woke up at 8 am. I know, I know… I would have to spend another day thinking about my chores while laying in bed controlled by pain.
When I say uncontrolled pain I mean that 150MG of Lyrica, 50 MG of Savella and 50 MG of Tramadol are not working at all. This week I have had 3 flares!, 3 days of my life added to the list of losses due to Fibro.
I have so many dreams and goals!! I’ve incorporated my own company to do what I love the most… helping people, serving for the good of the nation. I did mention that I’m a Civil Engineer and worked 9 years in FEMA, right? Oh yeah, that was the job of my dreams, the job that I loved to pieces…. added to the list of losses as well.
Believe me, I do my best to stay positive…but it just gets more and more intolerable. Did I explain the pain on my feet? So it’s so bad that I can’t rest them on anything! burning type of pain… and the pain on my elbows is just the worst thing, I suffer by just grabbing a cup of tea. I have a hard time just doing the basics, imagine having an intense working day! I just don’t think is possible anymore.
On my search for alternatives to get better, I’m currently on a new nutritional regimen (diet). Basically a vegan type of diet… No coffee, no sugar, no meat, no rice, no bread…I substituted the coffee with ginger tea and a fruit shake for breakfast, fruits or almonds for snacks and for lunch and dinner I’m having vegetables and starchy tropical root like potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
Today is my day # 12 and I haven’t seen much improvement with the pain and all. I will continue to see if food is a factor, so wait for my next article for details.
Remember, just keep swimming and wait for the pain-free day to come!
