Fibromyalgia
I'm new to this forum as well and am very glad to have found it.
I have had FMS for 10 years. I gave up on using anything for the pain because it was nearly useless. I have a really good shiatzu machine that I use when my muscles are at their worse. However, I started Atkins, in earnest, 2 weeks ago and have remarked to my family how great I feel. The fatique is GONE and I have minimal pain. I don't remember having this kind of energy since I was much younger. During the day, I find myself expecting to feel tired, because I always do by the middle of the day, but so far, the fatique just hasn't set in. Even when I "overdue" it with cleaning, etc. I get a bit of pain, but the exhaustion just doesn't come. I see my Dr. tomorrow and am going to tell him that he should really investigate the correlation between increased energy, decreased pain and going on a low carb diet. For me, I'm determined to make this a lifestyle, not a diet.
