My "click" moment was when my doctor recommended Paleo. I tried it without very high hopes, but it made a huge difference in my Fibromyalgia pain right away, and I was sold. =)

Playfulness. =)

Hi, I'm Joy. I'm 33 and was diagnosed with several conditions a few years ago, including Fibromyalgia and EDS. My doctor recently suggested trying the Paleo diet to see if it helped reduce my symptoms, and BOY can I tell a huge difference! I can cheat a little with dairy or sugar in small amounts without ill effects, but…

Hi, Kate! I can totally relate. I have Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility syndrome, as well as Reynaud's and dermatographia. They all mush together to create a very hyper-reactive mess. After being on meds for a couple of years with moderate relief, my doctor recommended a grain and sugar free diet for…

Hope this works... This is Penny, my Chorkie puppy.

How do you post a photo? I would love to show you my baby Penny! :smile: At any rate, I have some photos of her on my profile. :smile:

That has been my experience as well. My skin is much clearer now.

I have tried it a few times, and I think I like the coconut oil better...it does take some getting used to.

Friendly, outgoing...

I use Map My Walk, and I really like it.

If I'm under my calorie goal but I'm not hungry, I don't eat. Listen to your body. If you are under and hungry, eat. If not, don't. =)

When I first started, I eliminated dairy for a full month (per my doctor) - I have since begun adding SMALL amounts. For example, Greek yogurt every now and then and maybe a little bit of cheese on a salad. That's about it, and that has been working well for me. I think it depends on how dairy sensitive you are, but if you…

Neat! I have never heard of that...

OK, curious...what is bulletproof coffee?
-
I have had much better luck with GRAIN free as opposed to simply gluten free. I could tell a difference immediately - and I can feel the repercussions when I cheat just as quickly...
-
I am not necessarily doing a raw diet - more primal/paleo - but I would love to work more raw recipes in as well.

I started Paleo/Primal in November as a support to my fibromyalgia and some digestive issues. I felt better right away, and dropped about 10 pounds the first month. I fell off the wagon over the holidays, but am back on track now. =) Feel free to add me! HW - 196 CW - 185 GW - 135

I am taking gabapentin for nerve pain, amitriptyline for sleep, flexeril for muscle spasms, and tramadol for pain. I am also taking vitamin b and d supplements. My rheumatologist originally wanted to put me on Lyrica, but my insurance wouldn't cover it unless we exhausted the generic options first. I mostly feel that they…

I have had the best luck with yoga and walking. Some days are better than others, of course. :) I tend to walk on days I feel stronger and stick with yoga when I am having issues with pain. Tai Chi has been helpful on especially painful days.

I also have EDS hypermobility type.

I also have fibromyalgia as well as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - exercise is a real challenge. I find that once I get in a habit, it is easier. However, if I have a flare-up and am down and out for a few days, it's like I have to start all over.
