Guest guest Posted September 4, 2000 Report Share Posted September 4, 2000 Hi Liz, Stress has been found in medical studies to be a component in dis-ease and the strength of the immune system. I do feel with all dis-ease, the body is sending messages to us to balance our lives. If you read the work of medical intuitives (people who can scan your energy field and see blockages - some know the organs very well and have been tested by physicians to be 95%+ accurate in diagnosis), they all point to the emotional/ mental causation of dis-ease. Caroline Myss, medical intuitive & author, has a Discussion Forums and fibromyalgia and coeliac dis-ease have both been brought up in some discussion threads. The Forums are search enabled so you can search the archives or post a new topic: http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/ If you are interested, you may want to do a search on fibromyalgia, CFIDS, coeliac, immune disorders, etc. and see what discussions come up or post a new topic. For instance, the following discussions come up when fibromyalgia is put in the search engine: http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum4/HTML/000016.html http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum1/HTML/000068.html http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum4/HTML/000002.html http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum3/HTML/000038.html http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum4/HTML/000046.html http://205.253.22.104/board/Noncgi/Forum4/HTML/000128.html Another good site to find research and products is: www.immunesupport.com Many blessings, MichelleH > > schiemer > I noticed a couple of people on the list have fibromyalgia > which I also > was diagnosed with until I changed my diet and found I probably had > coeliac disease.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2000 Report Share Posted September 4, 2000 Hi Mary Thats a fairly acute observation. I noticed a couple of people on the list have fibromyalgia which I also was diagnosed with until I changed my diet and found I probably had coeliac disease. Coeliac disease could have manifested in any number of ways but it manifested as fibromualgia in me. Coeliac is an intolerance to gluten in wheat, rye, oats and barley Am in stages of healing yet recognise a real fear in my subconscious about planning for the future. So which comes first? The chicken or the egg? The intolerance or the emotional block? The idea that the subconscious can harbour inhibiting feelings that contribute to ill health is an interesting one. Can anyone with fibromyalgia recognise a feeling that they really do not want to live this life, that it's too emotionally painful? Yet determination to deal with things is very strong.

I know that for me, I have a very strong need for touch in my life. My fibromyalgia all but disappears when I am involved with people who are very into hugging, cuddling, massage etc. I have been married twice, this second time for 16 years. Both husbands started out the marriage with a constant need to touch me and be with me. This of course satisfied my needs perfectly and life was good for a while. Both however are extremely self-centered in nature and once the " honeymoon " was over (about two years the first time and five the second time) both withdrew into themselves, leaving me living a life basically alone. For a long time I blamed myself. What had I done wrong to cause them to not want me any longer? Was I so terrible or ugly or what? Through much inner work and honesty with myself, I have come to realize that I have basically nothing to do with their reaction. It wouldn't have mattered if it had been me or another woman. I am still sort of in contact with my ex (we have a son) and I have watched the same pattern occur in his second marriage as well. These men are basically only willing to step outside of themselves long enough to feel that they have secured their " prize " and then choose to live a disconnected life that focuses only on their needs. Unfortunately for me in both cases sex was not high on either of their priority lists so I am basically denied even that small amount of closeness. It has taken about 12 years for me to actually sort through everything and determine that my pain results from the lack of touch in my life and to determine that I was not at fault in the case of their withdrawal from " an intimate " life. I am a " fixer " in general so I have to assume that a part of me saw in them something that I thought I could correct...felt that I could help them reconnect to life in all its fullness. It has been a hard lesson to learn that the only one I can " fix " is myself. So I am now on that journey. I don't know where it will lead nor do I really need to know. I have found that simply taking things one day at a time and dealing with the " NOW " is the most prudent course for me. Currently though the pain is sufficient to keep me from working...was fired from my last job of 12 years for having fibromyalgia...I am staying off my pain meds and dealing with life the best that I can. I decided that I would rather be " awake " and hurt than to wander around doped up. I am using flower essenses to help bring the issues to the forefront that need dealing with and am finally saying " no " to giving so much of myself without receiving anything in return.
