What Works for Me

Here is what works to help keep my Fibro in check. I am allergic to the following: chocolate, dairy, casein, wheat, wheat gluten, eggs, tree nuts, shellfish, salmon, citrus fruit, and peanuts. Additional foods that I avoid: onions, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers. These along with wheat, dairy, and soy are natural inflammatories in the body and they trigger my Fibro pain. Google Anti Inflammatory Diet or Inflammatory Foods to get more information on it. I did the Elimination/Reintroduction process with all the Nightshade family of veggies to find out which ones triggered my pain. I see my Integrative Health Specialist every 2-3 months as needed. Integrative Specialists are trained MD's who are trained in Holistic Medicine. I see Dr. Roya Kohani in La Jolla, CA. She was trained by Dr. Andrew Weil. I see my Chiropractor about once a month to keep my spine aligned which reduces general body pain. She also practices Holistic Medicine. Her name is Dr. Jill Paisely in Poway, CA. I have been seeing her for almost 4 years now. She was the one who recommended Dr. Kohani to me. I take a bunch of supplements, herbs, and natural shakes prescribed to me by Dr.Kohani. When I stick to my diet religiously, my pain is minimal. When I derail from the diet, all pain he** breaks loose. Given all that I have been through in the last month, I have rededicated myself to eating the right way and sticking to my strict diet. It's a pain, it sucks, but I have to keep at it for my health. I have been mostly Fibro pain free for 9 days now.
