You'll see on the home page that I have fibromyalgia, but I didn't include the details initially that for years before I had a diagnosis I was run up the flagpole of traditional medicine as though this might be MS. It was not, and food allergy testing after the neurologist didn't know what it was proved to be helpful, inexpensive and provide solutions. As new knowledge about that area has come forward, I've realized that had I listened to my intuition about how stringent to be about avoiding eating the foods I was found to be allergice to, I might have been better off (as I was rotating foods in and then it's very difficult to tell cause/effect).
I think there are many commonalities with the two illnesses, and we all will benefit from coming here and learning from each other. Progressive, valid, streamlined and FUN is what I say.
Looking forward to what YOU have to say!

I have MS and Fibro..I just had a MS flare for the past week along with Fatigue. I do a weekly injection of Avonex to slow the progression. The MS has affected my memory so I have alot of trouble remembering words and thoughts..Sometimes when I talk nothing makes sense..Between that and the Fibro fog life is quite interesting. I take it all in stride and I am able to laugh about it and joke. Sometimes I don't know whether the pain is from the MS or Fibro or both. Two days ago I know I was having a Fibro day because of pressure points were tender and painful..I stopped eating all wheat, gluten, sugar, all flours that contain wheat and lactose due to allergies and intolerances. For the most part the diet that I am on helps with the Fibro and MS. Due to the winter weather I have not been able to hike as much or attend my yoga class. . I am looking forward to being able to get back into my daily hike and yoga and I am going to try aerobics. I found that there are so many activities that keeps my body from stiffening up. I just discovered if you like to read but can't concentrate or hold the book there are audio books. I am listening to a story and actually enjoying it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to take for chronic fatigue? vitamins or such?? I am currenly taking flax, vitamin d,c, b and calcium...
Also any suggestions on memory games to play??
I rambled long enough..lol
