A tremendous relief from Fibromyalgia...
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia around 16 years back and we tried everything. My Allopathic doctor said that there was no permanent cure, and put me on pain killers, nerve relaxants, sleep inducers, physiotherapy, and ACU pressure. I even did Ayurveda treatments - a massage and took some medicated ghee, some kashayams which all lead to gastric issues. Everything was symptomatic relief, and there was no permanent cure. No one had a clue of what was going on in me, as my pains never showed up and they felt I am doing drama. Many times I had thoughts of suicide also, because the pain everyday was unbearable. I went on a diet and lost 10-12 kgs which made my symptoms even worse as had I lost out on my muscle and my hair, and the fatigue was severe.
I never believed that I would benefit from something as innocent as the Wellness Quotient community, because I had tried everything, and nothing had worked. I didn't realise that collaborative knowledge without the inherent financial interests sometimes can be so powerful. When I discovered that people had benefited, my initial reaction was ""Nonsense!"", but then on second thoughts, I thought, let me try.
I still remember the sleepless and painful nights when I used to have chronic pains (neuro-musculo-skeletal), migraine attacks, frequent cold and cough, inflammation, spondylitis, depression and was always in fear of what would come next. Most of the time I would lock myself in a dark room as I was very sensitive to light and sound.
It has taken more over a year to see the results but I feel truly blessed. I feel awesome, pains have reduced, attacks of migraine and fibromyalgia are rare though not completely stopped, as I know it is chronic and takes time, my condition is much better now with good sleep and no fear of what next. I am happy that my exercise schedule is back as I feared of pain earlier. People ask me how come you are so active and energetic as I walk most of the time (earlier I never used to ) - I tell them Antioxidant magic and thank my friend who introduced me to supplementation and lifestyle.
