OT reply to me off list Anyone with Fibromaylgia diet tips?

[Guest guest]

I have had fibromyalgia for about 10+ years. I have discovered that

it can have many causes. After, I developed lyme disease [December

2007] with two coinfections, bartonella [cat scratch disease] and

babesia, realized that the bartonella that I had for 14 years was

probably the underlying cause of bartonella. Both bartonella and

lyme can cause fibro. It is possible that they do not have either

bartonella or lyme in Japan, but I doubt that it is just caused by

diet. I am sure bad diet could be a contributing factor. I have

been a vegetarian for 30+ years and that did not immunize me from

fibro, lyme, or bartonella.

 

Another known fibro research result is that over 90% of people with

fibro have been abused as children or adults. It tends to develop

after people have some kind of trauma--like a car accident. For me,

it developed after I did some weight lifting.

 

Fibromyalgia is a can of worms because it is often diagnosed when the

physician does not know what is wrong with the person. Many, many,

many people with lyme disease were incorrectly diagnosed with fibro

when their symptoms were caused by undiagnosed and untreated lyme

disease.

Fibromyalgia is tough but I was told they do not have this in Japan.

It is assumed, I was told by a military wife in Okinawa, that the

Japanese diet is why. Fuzzbudget, could it be true? If anyone has

some knowledge of this please let me know.
