      Well, the pills are definitely an easier aka: lazier way to go. Doing things naturally is a LOT of frickin work. But obviously worth it. Wish I had people like Tina and Joy, and even myself, when my stuff started. But, haha, we barely had the internet then.

    Hi Luke, I understand your pain...have experienced this for a very long time. The information that is attached to this note is hopefully going to help you understand why you may have this. The book that's noted states that the myofascial tissue between the muscles become tight, not as supple as they should be, and this is from the nerve relays to the muscles. I just recently found a neurologist that helped me in just 3 weeks... he put me on a nerve medicine and it helped within a few days.  (I sent this same msg to other people on this discussion panel. It is very long so I just copied and pasted it to here.) Here goes: I've had FM for 20 years now and have had all these symptoms. It started after a severe viral lung infection that went undiagnosed for 6 months!! (It can come from any type of trauma, including surgeries.) I have been to all kinds of drs. and have had every test under the sun. It is very frustrating to try to get people/drs to understand what you are going through. I am from the states and I found this book that all FM sufferers should read... it was written by a female DOCTOR who touches on everything you have - and will - experience. She is brilliant and you will feel like you have someone who finally understands and it is great because you can take this to your doctor and show them that this is real and this is how you are feeling and they will listen because a doctor wrote it! The name of the book is "Fribromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain, A Surival Manual" written by Devin Starlanyl and Mary Ellen Copeland. She explains how the myofascial tissues between the muscles becoming tightened (instead of supple) and this has something to do with the nervous system. AND, a good thing that I also found after 20 years of doctoring (15 w/ a rhuematologist that only wanted to give me muscle relaxers and pain pills...) is that a drug for the nervous system called Lamictal (lamoTRIgine), helped with the nerve relays from the brain to the muscles WITHOUT pain meds! It greatly reduced my pain. (I started seeing a neurologist and he helped me in 3 weeks...after 20 yrs. of doctoring!) Not sure if this will work for everyone, but I want to get it out there in hopes that it my help others. Do you have this med available in the UK? I am going to copy this note and paste it in other discussions on this site so that it becomes so redundant in hopes everyone can check this book and med out. Best wishes to you and hang in there. P.S my mom just said something about the lymph nodes and seeing an endocrinologist to help unclog them. This was talked about in the book. I want to research this further.
