Hi, I understand your feelings. If you haven't taken the course on FM on Suite 101 you can sign up now for just $6-$10. The discussions are truly helpful, so pls. don't be embarrased to discuss. I just finished the course and found it to be very helpful.

I've thought I was crazy too, although I have a college degree and have always done well scholastically. I'm 52 yrs. old, and am just coming to realize that I've had FM symptoms for several yrs--possibly 20 yrs. or longer.

Dr. Pellegrinio's book has flexibility exercises that help.He's a physiatrist (M.D.) with FM.
Hammerly book helpful. Barnes & Noble have 20 or more books on FM. Books can give us great insight into our challenges.

I met a man w/ PHD yesterday who says that FM is caused by aspartame. Of course, you probably know that is the substance in most diet products & Equal. I've drunk my share of diet drinks over the past 2 or 3 decades.

There's a product called Focus Factor that helps me with brain fog. It was created by a chiropractor and can be seen on an infomercial that runs frequently on major networks, probably PAX, and possibly FOX t.v. Website is www.vitalbasics.com Phone 1-800-7424838.
(I don't own stock in the company. Just saw it on infomercial couple yrs. ago.)It might be worth checking out.

Essential oils are another place to check.
Malic acid & magnesium help some people with FM,
but I'm not sure about the fog part.

Sometimes I'm fine driving. Other times I almost scare myself.I pulled out in front of a car from our driveway on day a yr. or so ago. Fortunately, I saw him in time and pulled into other lane. I just didn't see the man!

Are you aware of immunesupport.com It's a great place for FM info.

I understand about feeling like a loser. I've felt that way for yrs. But there's help! Don't give up. Trust God for the answers.

I've been so depressed and discouraged esp. for past 10 yrs. I went into menopause at 45 and blamed that for yrs.

A healthy diet helps, but that's a challenge for me. I've gained 20 lbs. last 3 yrs.

If you check out these websites you'll find you're not alone. There's 7 million others in the U.S. including some men who have it.

Don't give up! There are people and resources to help you! You've got too much living to do to give up. Take it from someone who's wanted to give up. But taking the FM class gave me renewed hope.
