Donna,
I have managed my firbromyalgia through diet. For years I was on pain meds even as a vegetarian . I was a junk food vegetarian for years. Then I found out that I had milk and wheat allergies. I stopped comsuming both. I lost 3 inches off my waist in the first week. Wheat was causing severe bloating, but I do not have celiacs. Since then I have lost 60lbs without measuring or limitted foods. I did not know until then how much food can hurt you. I had stomach aches all my life, then the Fibro and a low grade fever for 20 yrs that could never be explained. If i cheat and drink one glass of milk i will weigh 2lbs more the next day, even if i eat nothing else. Wheat and dairy just do not like me. I wish you continue sucess with the healing of your body.

I hope that you have that side effect as well. It's tough when the doctors don't know whats totally going on. I went for 5 years not understanding why I was in pain all the time. Now I know it's the Fibro. I can reduce my stress and pain and believe it or not one of the things that helps it the most is eating right. I have had 4 fibro flares in the last 2 months (since going vegetarian). Where before I went one after another and averaged 2 a week. Some are so bad I have to just stay in bed. I couldn't work I couldn't cook I couldn't do anything. Now I'm back and able to drive 450 miles to see my husband (he's on a project several states away). When I get back I don't have pain! Totally amazing to me.
I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that everthing else comes back negative and that you only have to deal with what you all ready know about.
Hugs

ps. I notice that you have something about Durham in your tag line... Is that Durham NC? I go through that area when I go to visit my husband.

Thanks Donna
Marie knows how hard I struggle with my weight (mind you don't we all!) and I do hope the other tests come back clear (they are fairly sure I DON'T have diabetes but it was worth testing for at the same time) - one of the side effects of the Thyroxine is excessive weight loss :D (seeing as I normally get the worst side effects I am hoping for this one *grin*)
