Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I was critically exposed to a nerve type insecticide and this may have caused me to develop fibromyalgia but I'd never heard this connection before this. I was to the point of having to quit working on the farm, or just a matter of weeks because this was escalating fast. I sat down and gave it some serious thought; I couldn't even lift a sack of feed any longer. I decided to try Evening of Primrose Oil. Two weeks later I was able to trim 5 sets of goat's feet, manhandle 22 head into a trailer to get a health certificate, unload all the feed, do chores and jump out of bed the next morning without a twinge. I took two capsules, one in the AM and one in the PM. Each capsule contained Evening Of Primrose Oil 1,300 mg., GLA 135 mg., Omega 6 - 935mg., and Omega 9 - 105 mg. This was known as Nutrition Warehouse Super Primrose Oil but they have gone out of business, or sold out to another company and they no longer produce this same product. The instructions say to take up to 3 of these capsules a day. They say Borage oil is just as good. The key to the Evening of Primrose Oil is to take enough to counter the inflammation.

I personally believe that each case of CFS is a matrix of many factors in varying degrees. Many patients have had chemical exposures which seriously compromised their immune systems. Most of them have someone in their lives who is constantly invalidating or undercutting them. One new finding indicates that most have excess cerebrospinal fluid. I have not yet seen an Ayurvedic perspective on this, which would be fascinating. A few of my clients have been diagnosed with CFS or more commonly Fibromyalgia, and they are constantly being whipsawed between advice from doctors and from various alternative educators like myself. They don't know where to turn, because medical regimens tend to provide some relief for a while, and then don't work anymore for no discernible reason; or end up having unacceptable side effects. Alternative approaches are attractive to them, but while they're waiting for results the pain can be literally unbearabl! e -- and it's often difficult to judge whether or not a particular technique is working in the meantime.

 

There have been some glowing testimonials circulating concerning certain nutriceutical products, including Pygnogenol, Microhydrin, HGH, SAM-E, and MSM.
