    Aspartame and splenda

    I would like to know if aspartame and/or splenda cause fibro to get worse temporarily. I have heard from a friend with fibro that it causes her to have pain fairly quickly. I am not good at figuring out the effects of things I eat or drink. Any help with this?

    My friend has fibro, is broke, on verge of suicide....

    I have a friend. She is 36. She always had nonspecific symptoms, but after she had her gallbladder removed, she started having severe symptoms. They only got worse after she started and stopped a birth control drug called YAZ. She is, for the past four years, constantly in pain...she gets...

    Massages

    For me, massages are one strange phenomenon. We have a friend, here in Mexico, who is a licensed masseuse. She, very kindly, gives me one, once a week while I am here. Why I call them a strange phenomenon is because outside of a massage, I don't care to be touched. You can't, so much as...

    Topical treatments...herbal creams/lotions?

    Last year a friend of mine gave me an ointment that was meant for topical pain relief. Where I live, medical marijuana is legal and it's not hard to get a prescription. The ointment was made from cannabis and I loved it because I could use it during the day without getting high (I have 2...

    Doctor's finally listening...

    Hi everyone. My name is Jayelle and I'm new here. As you've guessed, I'm also new to fibro...or at least having a diagnosis. Has anyone else had a hard time just getting a doctor to listen to you? I've been told everything from, "Well, we can't find out what's wrong so we're not going to do...

    Ignorance of People

    I've had autoimmune issues since I was 8 years old. I'm 34 now, so I've been 'sick' longer than I haven't been. It's a way of life and I can hide it pretty darn well. My parents have retired in Mexico and I spend, at least, the winters there, with them. The stable and not cold weather makes a...

    First diagnosed with Fibro

    Last summer in July, I was diagnosed with Fibro. I was having a lot of pain then, well at least I thought. I was reading different post on this forum trying to figure out what did others mean in regards to skin pain, rib pain, chest pain and a whole lot of different areas of pain. Well once...

    Looking for understanding

    Hi, I decided to join this forum to find like minded people to vent with occasionally and possibly explore ideas of how to cope with this insidious illness. I call this an insidious illness because most people (even professionals) don't even recognize it as an illness. Officially it's only a...

    Hello from Scotland!

    Hi there! I live in Scotland but am originally from Canada. I was Dx'd in 2008 with FM by my GP (well, it was admittedly a bit of a joke in regards to that diagnosis, but hey ho...). Been in 4 car accidents, 3 of which I definitely had whiplash from. I used to own a catering company and some...
