Eating Good for Fibro


One thing that I think helps me with fibromyalgia is staying away from processed foods. No surprise, eating healthy is an important part of fibro.

Another set of steps may be taken to help support energy production in the muscles. These steps center on nutrients involved with processes taking place in specialized parts of our muscle cells called mitochondria. The mitochondria handle most of our oxygen-based energy production, and their function is critical to our muscle movement. Many of the B vitamins, vitamins C and E, Coenzyme Q, and the omega 3 fatty acids are important in this energy-production context. (You can find profiles of these nutrients, plus "best source" foods for each one in our Essential Nutrients A-Z section.


As always, work with your doctor.

Fibro Flare- Lasting a Long Time


In May I was at a wedding, dancing and having a good time. A few weeks later I got in a fibro flare. I need to out of it!

I started to get depressed as the pain continued. This is the longest that I can remember being in a fibro flare. I didn't realize how good I was before all this.

My chiropractor said something to me- fibromyalgia is all you.

While I know for sure it is not in my mind, and that is not what he meant, I'm going to start having the attitude that I can get through this flare with my actions. I'm not going to wait for some time to go by and wait for the flare to pass.

Starting tomorrow I am making purposefully steps to get out of this!
