I have been using "pearls" which is a brand found at walmart. It has active cultures like found in yogurt only no calories It supports intestinal health and is a tiny pearl like pill so easy to swallow. It is in the vitamin isle, thin blue box.

This is so true, on a "good" day I always do to much, mostly because I am so behind from all the bad days! But yes, then I suffer for it and can't move...now if I could just figure out WHY I have the good days so I can have more of them!!!

Then I get anemic, so the only thing I can do is "rotate", and I do that by how I am feeling.
If I am 'flaring", i don't eat the foods that affect me most, but when I feel better...guess what?
To keep from getting anemic I have to eat the "offenders"!:evil:
I do take vitamins and i eat yogurt.
It's a never ending cycle and I thank God there are ppl who understand. My allergist understands too, and I am so grateful.
Now, somebody find us a cure, lol! :-D

I know, really wish I could figure it out. I think my DD in her thirties may have Fibro. She has suffered with crohns dis. for several years, but I think it is Fibro. All the meds don't help her at all, except for pain meds, and she needs to not rely on those. I think there are just sopme things we are going to have to kind of suffer in silence (a little) because the drs. can't keep someone doped up without it causing other problems.

just needed to vent:
today was such a bad FM day! i was in the fibrofog all day, stiff, sore and just not "there" -- i had trouble concentrating on my students today and the chiropractor made me want to cry. finally came home - took an hour nap, ate dinner - and now my stomach hurts and my head is throbbing.
thank you for the vent time -- the bf is awesome but just doesn't understand that i'm not lazy - just "not great"

It's hard when you hurt and feel so terrible that if anyone else felt this way they would be in bed for days, and yet we have to keep going, keep doing, and are supposed to be happy and cheerful all the while, still taking care of everyone else --who by the way, happen to be healthier than us. Just know that there are some of us who totally understand, and we can't stop for fear it will get the better of us. Did any of that make sense?
