Ok, so I got the excruciating pain under my right and left rib cage all but gone now and the runs the bathroom have stopped but I'm still frequently feeling sever abdominal pain as the day wears on and bloating by the end of the day. I've also noticed all my other fibro and CFS gets worse with it. So I initially went of my ROTTATION diet of FOIDS that I tested possative to being sensitive to (I had not thought it was a big deal as I avoided most of them anyway and supposedly rotating would help build a tolerance). I also quit coffee cold turkey. So far it's been huge.

Well I am back and trying to post a bit more. It has been a wild ride trying to manage my house on my own and dealing with bills.
The weather is warming up and I am getting outside more. My yard is full of wildflowers and a few tulips are popping up everywhere.
Been working on this house trying to clean it out and fix it up. I tore out the very old carpets and am patching wall board holes and getting a bedroom ready for me.
I work on it a few hours a day then lose energy and have to sit and rest for long periods of time.

I've had it for some 30 years. I've tried Everything,,, literally. I know every pain associated with this disease. And most medications. Some days I feel like passing on as the pain has grown so bad over the years. But I found that with my pain Meds and mostly stopping what I'm doing, being at ease with and at One with to what I'm doing helps as I'm looking at it rather that letting it look at me. Stop, relax, breathe deep and slow. Make everything you do a pleasure instead of hurrying to get through, instead of nervously and blindly doing your chores.

So I started bloating up again, felt like I had a birthday balloon under my skin and I needed to stick a pin in it. It started Sunday when the rain began. The big difference was the deep pain that I usually get under each rib and deep in my abdomen weren't present. Thank God. I'm not sure what this means but when I get my strength back in going to dig in trying to find out. If rain conditions bring this on I'm moving to a dessert!

Aging is commonly associated with the development of various medical conditions, some of which can influence our quality of life. One of the most frequent ailments reported among older adults involves joint pain. The occurrence of joint pain is often coupled with joint stiffness and sharp pain, making it difficult to walk, stand, and bend. In addition, the quality of sleep can also be affected by joint stiffness. In some cases, these are accompanied by sharp pain, especially when making sudden turns or shifts with our body.

If you have severe bowel and abdominal problems your speaking my language.
Is suspected mold as part of my problem as I've had yeast/bacteria infections most of my adult life. My son and I both where treated for Candida's years ago. I started attacking this idea from my start of self help and quickly found I had this problem but my body was so polluted I backed off for awhile. Today I add back my #1 idea.
How I tested the water:

First 2 days: 1tsp FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth
Days 3-4:2 tsp.
Day 5-7. 2 tablespoons

A cure for fibromyalgia? Somewhere, someday but I think they have to know the cause first and it doesn't appear anyone is really looking that hard. For what my 2 cents is worth, I think the cause could be different for different sufferes hence the reason one type med works for A&B and not C&D.

I feel like I might be putting the cart b4 the horse. But I know I would have given anything to be where I am today a month ago. I know FIBROMYALGA can wax and wain, and perhaps all the things I've done and added have nothing to do with going from 3 months of not a single day better then a 7, and 90% of the time being at a 10! By the time I started on this I had gone from begging God to send help, then I begged him to just come get me...then my darkest moment-I fought for my life, because if I where to quit believing in God, well suicide wouldn't be a sin and Hell wouldn't be a fear.

[quote=Eyesup;290424]Hi Moe, I was actually excited to read this post!!! I know sounds crazy. First if you can find a post I responded to recently to grywolf, I too was living in a home that had hidden blak mold (we had if tested and it was possative for aspergilius) I've learned a TON while bed ridden fro this thing called fibro, we moved out of that house but my son and I have continued to go down hill, there is a gene some have that prevents chelation of mold. I know mold us a fungus but I've just learned it is also considered parasitic (also known to be a cause of fibro).

I couldn't fall asleep until I popped this one up.
Parasites are another suspected culprit of fibromyalgia. I had crossed them off for two reasons 1) I demanded my pcp test me for them when we first moved to TX due to sudden, severe stomach issues, he reluctantly FINEALLY agreed and ran 1 stool test. Negative and 2) I just had a colonoscopy December 31st, surely they would have showed up.
Later I will explain how I now know that neither on of those can be counted on. (Or you can research it yourself).
So how I tested the water...
