I need help, I am in love with two men one is June 13, 1953 and the other is Jan 2, 1954 and I am Sept 1, 1956. I want dependability and trustworthiness above all else. So far in my 30something years with the Cap I have not found the trustworthiness, he is a hard worker, but is very dull and boring. I love to live and don't mind saying so. I like the easy life but would rather have passion and life to the fullest instead of dull and boring. Something down deep says I should not stop looking. I have adult kids with the Cap and now grandchidren. I have attempted to leave Mr. Cap many times in the past year and each time I am drawn right back into the same thing I left - why? Can you help me with this. Jeweless

As i began reading these statements about Fibromyalgia i remember how i felt a year ago. The pain was extremely bad and i was on four high powered narcotics and my life was nothing but pain and me being in bed all of the time. One day i heard someone on a talk show talk about the same disease i was suffering from and suddenly a light bulb turned on. This person said that she ate a high protein diet and did a regular exercise regimine, and that at first the exercising was extremely difficult but she continue to do what she could, i knew at that point i would need to stop the narcotics to be able to even eat, i had lost 89 pounds, rarely got out of the bed, slept alot, when i was awake i did not know if it was day or night. I ended up signing into a hospital psychiatric unit to detox off of the prescribed pain medicine, i was nearly past the point of no return, i had a extremely low blood pressure, i was in kidney failure due to the pain medicine and while i was in the hospital i realized that i could not remember the last five years of holidays and where i spent them, the kids, my grandkids, my husband, i was in sorry shape. After completeing the in-patient detox, and maintaining the high protein diet, my pain and discomfort has almost disminished. I was home from the hospital a week and went out for a run and fell and broke both my feet and one ankle and due to my kidney's i was unable to take any pain medication except for tylendol- not that i would have anyway after just being detoxed from pain medication. I came through all of that with peace of mind and today - almost one year later i am still doing great as long as i stay on a high protein diet. I am alive and living each day fully and very surprised that the pain has diminished as much as it has. Please check with your physician first but the high protein diet is doing great for me. i continue to have some pain from time to time but nothing like what i had when i was being threated with the pain medication.

Good luck and god bless
