I am so happy to hear of your success with affecting the fibro! I always think about you and wonder if a mostly vegan diet would help that for you. I am so thrilled to hear that it has made improvements in those areas!!! I am happy to hear how Dr. F has been such an inspiration too! I did not know I would run into my name on this post! Thank you! You are also paying it forward by being a great example to your blog followers!

I have been ill for 3 years and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is the label I'm going to end up with by process of elimination. I don't have fibro (ME's evil twin) but I have got an immune system so batshit crazy, it has been messing with my thyroid. You are an inspiration and I'm going to investigate those books/sites right after I've posted this. Thank you so much - and big BRAVO to you for such fortitude. Knowledge is POWAH!

How devastating.<br /><br />It is so difficult living with medical issues that prevent our bodies from doing everything we'd like them to do. I know how difficult FM can be since I've had it for some 25 years now. Somedays it can make it feel like you are climbing a mountain when in fact it's only the stairs. Most people don't get it when you try to explain that your pain is amplified 1,000 %. For many years I was told it was all in my head. <br /><br />You are a great inspiration. Taking back control of your life despite all the health issues. I hope you continue on this journey and keep us updated as to your progress. <br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916952991619248279.post-22460405227902829602013-08-08T10:10:24.860-04:002013-08-08T10:10:24.860-04:00Wow, it's amazing what a good diet will do for...Wow, it's amazing what a good diet will do for you. I was a little worried when you mentioned the medications the American Diabetes Association told you to take.

What horrible stroke of bad luck to have had such a nasty fall, which combined with your meds, made life so much harder mobility-wise, not to mention the effect it must have had on your emotions. You're fighting back and my god what a battle considering the diabetes and Fibro, which are such debilitating conditions! I'm so proud of you for making the decision to fight back with healthy food and the kind of exercise that makes you happy (how can walking Gracie be a chore?), although I know there will be many, many days when just moving will be agony. Thank you so much for my beautiful parcel which arrived today my dear friend, I'm going to have to take out a special insurance policy out on the Trollz as they got a lot of attention while out and about today ;) xxxPull Your Socks Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14147274267016718793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916952991619248279.post-43933829268974904782013-08-07T21:09:00.043-04:002013-08-07T21:09:00.043-04:00What an inspiration you are, Tamera!
