I have Fibromyalgia and have found that my diet has a big part of whether or not I have a flair up. For instance I had a cheat meal yesterday and wow I am in pain today. I had a fish fry at a local bar didn't even think it could cause a flair up. Anyone else notice diet has a effect on your condition?

    For me this is true. I have adopted a "close to the ground" kind of diet. I love it. I rarely eat anything processed (had mcdonalds today, ew) I don't eat my starches with protiens. This has made a world of difference, i have much more energy and just a sense of well being:) I'm thankful:)

    Yes! very much so. I have been eating poorly since Thursday and am feeling it. Back to Raw tomorrow which seems to agree with me the most.

    I have to agree, with Thanksgiving (2 thanksgivings to be exact) I feel aweful! so tomorrow all the left overs are going in the trash and I'm back to my "close to the ground" way of life!

    Yes, the more processed, fried, and red meat I eat, the more pain for me.

    I also find that eating junk makes everything worse even though it seems convenient at the time. I feel best when I eat vegetarian and raw. I'm getting to where I'd rather be hungry than eat things that I'll have payback for later...

    I just had a woman tell me that she "had" fibro, started eating clean, and after 6 weeks, she is pain free!! That really excites me, my husband and I are looking into it,it will be hard to give up certain things, but if I can have at least less pain, I will try it.
