   I have a close friend with fibromyalgia, and she swears by a daily exercise routine. She has worked up to a fairly vigorous workout, but she started slow. The best thing to do is to stay active. Plus she takes only half the perscribed pain meds, which minimize the side effects.

   Find a workout program that you can stick with…something with stretching, and do it first thing in the morning.

   My barber is having her fingers amputated as a result of this disease, so I tore into research in an attempt to help out. There seems to be a consensus that environmental stressors might be the cause (nasty stuff like Clorox, gas fumes, insecticides, etc.) and the immune system simply has had enough, and turns on itself.

   The removal of toxins from the bloodstream is a source of great controversy. Chelation therapy, which uses the compound EDTA is effective on metals, but probably little else. However, I pressed in and may have found a product that will be effective for you.

   Zeolite is an amazing mineral that has tiny cellular caves that trap bad stuff. I discovered this as an effective filtration device in the a/c biz. Now there is a company that manufactures and distributes liquid zeolite. I have a friend that has another debilitating, theoretically-untreatable illness that just started on it, and he is having great results.

   I am not a dealer, and have no stock in the company. I just have a suspicion that it will be extremely beneficial in your case. Look
   under Liquid Zeolite for further information. Good luck!

   I had to answer your question because my husband was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Its more prevalent in women but men do get it as well. I think this disease is treated by symptoms and toleration of medicines. There isn’t just one type of medication to control this. My husband started off with anti-inflammatory meds, prednisone, you name it, he’s been on it. Anti depressants are common to take as well but maybe the one you are taking isn’t the right one for you. I’m also not sure a primary Dr, psychologist, or psychiatrist are the answer either. Have you ever thought of seeing a Dr that specializes in Fibromyalgia? If I were you, I would look into seeing a rheumatologist or a specialist in osteoporosis. These are the guys that have the most knowledge in this disease. Ive been in the medical field for 12 years and I know how these Dr’s work (not all) Instead of suggesting a specialist, they would rather treat you themselves and so many times never get to the root of the problem. Try and find a Dr that specializes in your problem. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for support. Good luck!

   A good friend of ours at church has fibromyalgia. She has been taking a natural product called Reliv for a couple of months and is doing a lot better. Reliv has been featured in BusinessWeek, Forbes, Fortune, and this month cover to cover in Success from Home magazine. I would be happy to tell you more, just drop me a line.

   Have a great day,
