Thank you both for the input. My doc used to be a nutritionalist, and he's been recomending LC diets to people with fibro since the 70's. He says it solves the problem with 40-45% of the people he's seen, and at least alieviates some of the problems with the others. He say's he wan't to see how I am in a few more weeks on the diet before he diagnoses me officially, but he's pretty sure I have it. Thank god for this WOL and for people who listen to us.

"I personally feel it is some kind of an autoimmune response, but I have no clue (nor do the docs) on how to stop it."

My doc also said that he often beats his head against the wall with some fibro patients. I say as long as I can sleep, at least I can be human. I still can't sleep without Ambien, and believe me I've tried it all. I would prefer a more natural approach, but I've been so desperate for sleep that I gave in to pharmaceuticals. I used to take Metagenics Myocalm P.M. with calcium, magnesium, passion flower, valerian, hops and kava kava and it would knock me out cold, but it hasn't worked since the accident. I still recomend it to people all the time. There was no hangover the next day. I can't go for a massage yet, but seeing your success I might give it a try soon. My phys. therapist said that my tense muscles are all that's holding me up right now and if the get too reaxed too quicky it will thow everything else out. She sais maybe in a month or so.
Thanks again
