Guest guest Posted October 18, 1999 Report Share Posted October 18, 1999 Hi Frank, Thank you very much for the recipe I will have to try it out. As far as the candles and sprays go I find that Lavender really helps, another essence that I take is called Octillo, it helps too. Since being " diagnosed " with fibromyalgia I have found that a lot of people suffer from it and there are as many ways to treat it as people that have it. I've found that if I really concentrate on getting enough sleep, eating, slight exercise (only about 3 minutes a day right now) and the aromatherapy that I have come close to functioning normally again. Another thing that I use that has made all the difference in the world is acupuncture. If I'm having a really bad day I will spray lavender essence all over myself and put a few drops in a diffuser (?) and within 10-15 minutes I'm calmer and more relaxed. If your wife is sure she has fibromyalgia I would hope that she would continue going for the tests it really is a relief to find out that there is a name that goes along with the " misery " of the condition. All my best to her !! Thanks again for the recipe Warm Blessings Trina ----->------ > >There are 11 messages in this issue. > >Topics in today's digest: > > 1.
