I also have fibromyalgia. It really sucks. I have been going through a major flare lately. The pain is a horrible burning pain and it's all over. Even my skin burns and is extremely sensitive. My feet are the worst. My muscles ache, too, so I can't do much of anything. My doctor wants me to get an EMG. I had one 3 yrs ago but it showed I didn't have nerve damage.

I've been doing Dr. St. Amand's guiafenesin protocol for a couple of years now. Maybe I'm not doing it right or my dose is not high enough, but I'm not getting any better, only worse. I take a lot of vitamins I'm taking a lot of meds: Percocet, Lyrica, Lexapro, Flexeril, Ambien, Trazadone. Now he wants me to add Lamictal. I'm not sure I want to do this, but I can't function at all.

I have been doing Atkins, though not very successfully. I lost 11 lbs and have now gained back all but 3. I am thinking about going on CAD because it seems I need some carbs or I feel very deprived.

I usually start to feel better in the spring, but not this time. Sorry to be depressing, but I am depressed:*( Anyway, if you find a miracle cure please let me know!
