    The reason the …
    The reason the shoulder muscle (Upper Trapezius)is tight is because it relates to the kidneys. Stress in the kidneys causes shoulder tension AND affects the imilation of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency will cause muscle tension.
    Do you have any mercury amalgam dental fillings? Did your mother have any?
    Mercury overload is also a major reason for Kidney stress.
    Have you ever had a car accident or been hit on the head?

    I have been suffering from for 19 years, I was diagnosed two years ago. I do Lu Jong once a week, for over a year, inicially it was painfull and tiring, but makes a huge difference. I prefere exercise to medication, it is more benificial. Also apositive mental attitude is a must, negativity will make us go down hill. Keep active in any possible way, even if it just means walking more than you usually would. I paint, try to play guitar and sing, whatever makes me feel good!

    Perhaps an Arabic-speaking doctor could talk with your parents and explain your condition to them. Sometimes that’s the only way relatives will understand that what you have is a real condition (if a doctor sits with them and talks to them about your health problem).

    I was Diagnosed …
    I was Diagnosed over 10 years ago. The only thing that makes life bearable, and beleive me I’ve tried EVERYTHING. 1. Lots of exercise (LABOR Intensive Jobs :) “Migth as well get pay’d to feel better”) and here’s the most important part……. A medicinal Plant that God placed on this earth to heal mankind. You can get medically certified in several states for this condition.

    The only thing that …
    The only thing that has slightly improved my condition is fun exercise. It was hard to start it because of the intense fatigue and body pain, but, after finding some motivation (via a silly kids show), I began to do fun exercises and, amazingly, began to gradually feel slightly better, have a little more energy, and my sleep cycle improved a bit. Of course, too much exercise can hurt, so it’s important to find your limit and do fun activities without overdoing it.

    Sounds like my story. I’m in my early 20s and have had fibro since I started high school.

    I’ve had pain for 2 years now and they still don’t know what is wrong! MS or Fibromyalgia? Getting really tired of the pain!!

    My chiropractor has almost cured me of fibro. It was due to pinched nerves in my spine that showed on x-rays, you just have to go to someone who has experience with actually reading them! Hope this advice helps! Oh yeah and don’t say u have already had x- rays and the doctor did not find anything because you need to keep trying and pushing past the obstacles like I did. I could barely walk then, now I can run full speed!

    Awesome video, my …
    Awesome video, my heart goes out to Holly. It’s supporting to hear from others my age who also manage Fibromyalgia. People typically develop the disease when they’re older, but its especially hard having to live with fibro when you’re only a teen and in your prime years. It’s really scary to wonder what it’ll be like in 10 or 20 years. Having a positive attitude really helps though! It is possible to lead a normal life!! It just takes lots of management and a positive attitude! Good luck Holly!

    I have been in pain but not from fibromyalgia, I have found something for it and have friends that have fibromyalgia and it has done wonders for it.

    OMG how old is Holly? she seems to be about my age!! FINALLY, anothor girl my age who knows! what a relief to know I am not the only woman my age with this.. F**KING fibro anyway…

    I live in horrible pain every day…my life went from a 10 to a 2 in 9 years…stress flares it. I lost my oldest son 5 months ago in a accident…and my pain doubled.

    Orange juice produces the same level of negative ions as Kangen water. Kangen water appears to be a product designed to make money and not much else.

    where do I get this Kangen water from? I’d like to know because I don’t have any medical and my life is almost non-existent. Just about everything I do takes more effort than I am even willing to give it, can you please give me some more tips, thanks.

    Having suffered 17 years, I understand. They didn’t know what to call FM when I first had it. I started taking this myvemma(dot)com/GregGies and in 2 weeks I got off 9 medications! This stuff really works. Check it out, you have nothing to lose but PAIN. I wish you all the relief I have found (and I’ve tried just about everything). Hugs!

    FIBRO PATIENTS THIS INFO. IS CRUCIAL TO IMPROVING!!!!! Everyone get X-rays of spine. Fibro in some cases is caused by subluxations! I found this out from my new chiropractor and it can be corrected! Isn’t it great?! What did not show up in blood tests has been found! I’m alredy getting better, and don’t say it can’t be fibro because I’ve had every test in the book and tender point test & everything.:)
