The time that I have been back from my treatment in the US, has been long and hard time. My lower back has been giving me a hard time, and it wasn’t until the last week or so that it has been better. I even went to the ER because I could not take the pain any longer. My lower back has always been painful, but this time it was different, my legs didn’t really want to work either. I also had a really hard time with the new med they gave me Sevella. This is a new drug that was approve in March for Fibro, and the pain that comes along with Fibro. It was hard for me to connect words together to make sentences, and I could not really think strait. After about three weeks, I stopped taking the Sevella, and I improved a lot in a short time.

I do believe that taking the thyroid med is helping a lot, and I went almost two weeks, with out the real (not able to get out of bed) pain. It has been a really long time, since I have felt this well. Though last Thursday, I had my first really bad day (I should have listen to my body and went home), I am still not ready to complain.

Last Thursday I also had my first follow-up appointment over the phone since leaving Atlanta, and it was nice to find out that I have some more problems, that we need to look at. Most of things the doctor told me over the phone was not a surprise, and he had even told me, that he expected that I had these issues. I should receive his new orders soon, and I can update you on what else I am having to do.

I have been reading a book recommend by the center on yeast, The Yeast Connection Handbook, by William G. Crook. So I am learning all the issues with yeast and the overgrowth, and what that can do to your body. The hardest part is learning to leave out the yeast, sugar, other items that can feed the yeast, more on that later.

Guide Review – Living Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia syndrome have long been poorly understood conditions, both by patients and medical professionals. The good news is that has started to change. CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome can be caused by numerous different triggers. When all the different contributing factors are searched for, recognized, and treated effectively, patients improve significantly and often get well.Mary shows us that there is not one particular trigger for CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome which is common to everyone. There is no definitive list of guaranteed symptoms for CFS or fibromyalgia syndrome. There is no surefire way to get diagnosed, nor one kind of doctor who has all the answers. The plan to wellness must be customized for you.

Mary begins by giving the reader a basic understanding of CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome. She presents checklists for the risk factors and symptoms of CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome. A sample checklist can be found on the book’s website at http://www.cfsfibromyalgia.com. Mary questions if there is any connection between CFS, fibromyalgia syndrome and the following: infection, the immune system, hormones, brain, nervous system, heart, pain, stress, allergens, toxins, sensitivities, sleep, musculoskeletal system, or nutritional imbalances. The book serves as an essential guide to those answers and a vital guide to wellness.
