Fibromyalgia

Post by bamaluvr »

 I'm so thankful for the "Let's Do Lunch" eating plan. I have Fibromyalgia, but it doesn't have me anymore. It was so hard to get out of bed. I didn't feel like playing with my Grandaughter. She would hold her little hands out to be picked up and we would both end up crying because I knew it would hurt so bad to pick her up and hold her. But now there are no more tears from either of us. I play with her all she wants. The more I eat the "Let's Do Lunch" way the more things I can do ;without pain. This was and is the answer to my family and my prayers. I have LIVED and done so much more in the last few months than in my last few years. The weight just keeps falling off. The cravings are all gone. Mr. Wilson this is the best gift anyone has ever given me. I thank you and GOD for this plan.

Welcome bamaluvr

Isn't this WOE just wonderful?  I haven't been for my check-up yet but can't wait until I go in August to see what my numbers are.

I am so grateful that I found out about LDL. I have always been a yo-yo dieter but I know that this is the last eating plan that I will ever have to do since this is a way of life and not a diet.

Good luck on your journey to Skinnytown,

Martha

Raffi,

    Thank-you so much. I plan on spending as much time with my 18 month old (first & only grandchild)granddaughter(Rylee) as possible.I catch my grown children watching us play and they have huge smiles on their face because Rylee and I do also. They talk about how they love hearing the laughter come from the room now instead of all the crying.  It was a hard and very painful road, until now  :D. After my daughter buying and giving me the "First' magazine and Mr. Wilson sending me my book. My life has changed so much for the better. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Lydia,

It is such an inspiration to read your story. I read this through tears of joy!  It is a miracle!  And yet we are all experiencing our own special miracles every day. The pain of FM is great but the pain of not being able to hold your grandbaby is far greater.

I am especially interested in your story bc my sister in law also suffers greatly from FM. I know she would feel better if she cut some things out of her diet; esp those things with high acidity like sugar, bread and alcohol. But she is under doctor's care and they don't seem to see any issue with it. She is also taking a ton of supplements.  Would you mind terribly if I shot you a private message?  I have a few more questions but do not wish to grill you on the boards.

I am so happy for you - you cannot imagine. I only have one grandchild - Zachary - and he is an incredible source of joy especially when he puts his little arms around my neck. Priceless!

Lydia,

    I can't wait to share your story with my BONUS Mom (that's what I call the wonderful lady my father married after my mother passed away). She has Fibromyalgia and has all the same problems you had. My five children have never seen her be vibrant and full of life because of the pain she has from the disease. She has already agree to start LDL and this story will surely inspire her!

Thanks for sharing!
Tiffany

Hello Tiffany,  Glad you found LDL.  Bonus Mom how absolutely sweet.
I believe GOD sent me to this site (via my daughter) to be of help to others. I had been praying for a way to use having FM to help others. I thought my life was being wasted by having FM. My children was surely cheated out of a good Mom. One that should have been at their activeties and functions. They shouldn't have had to play Mom to me more than I was one for them.  But now I look back and see the purpose. Things could have went so much different in our lives and been worse instead of being so wonderful today. I see their friends always asking mine how to do things or offering to pay them to do things for them. Wash clothes, clean house, make a budget. My children definitely had to learn to LOVE one another and work together to get things done. Now they are learning new lessons along with teaching Rylee how to eat well. If we can't try to help others from what we go through what is the point?

If I can help in anyway let me know, just ask. Keep us informed of your Bonus Mom's success. Have a great weekend.

Lydia  *hug*

Everytime I read your posts I find them so heartfelt and touching. Thank you for offering to lead by example and help others to overcome this terrible disease. How long have you been suffering from this?

I am sure your children gave their help and support lovingly to you and how wonderful that it has strengthened their relationships with each other as well as with you.    :angel:

Hey Julie, Thanks

  I have had FM for 15 yrs. It is in remission today due to GOD and this way of eating and Roger sharing this plan with us all.
  My FM came due to an accident that happened 15 yrs ago. I was in Idaho at a truck stop walking back to the truck. Next thing I knew I was in the parking lot driveway and being put into an ambulance. This 6-wheeled utility truck had backed into me and knocked me down. I felt all kind of pain all over and then I looked over and seen wheels coming at my head. The guy was backing up and if I couldn't move he was going to run over me this time. I never heard the truck which still scares me to this day. Lots of hospital stays, Doctors visits and rehab. 3 months later they told me I had FM. It was somewhat new around here. I had to see different doctors for different things. The scariest thing for me was that I couldn't even walk to a door anymore without loosing it. Somehow in my mind it would happen again. It was a year before I could walk out side without being made to. Just to see lite would send me into a panic. I had a wonderful Doctor that helped with all the horrible pain. At first it took going to a pain specialist every other day for pain shots all over my body and a saddle block to boot. Then it got down to every other week, then once a month for years and years. To have the fear of seeing GOD's sky and not wanting to go out and be around anyone or doing anything is awful. Some of my family thought I was being a big baby or lying about the pain. My friends got tired of me not doing the things we had before so did some family members. Some days I even wondered if they were right, until I would move. Then I'm given this beautiful little grandbaby.  And to not be able to dress her or play with her or any of the normal things I wanted to do for her and with. I JUST WANTED TO DIE and I prayed for it daily. It seemed to much to bear when she would hold her hands out to me to be held and I knew the pain would be to much. My daughter and boys already had so much to deal with and still handle helping me. I didn't want any attention taken away from Rylee. She was after all just a baby and didn't deserve to live like my kids had. Instead of answering my prayers the way I asked GOD to. He answered them another way. Through Roger and this way of eating.
The kids did all the things for me out of their love for me. I am so grateful to them for not whining about it and never asking why can't we go play or other things. Their ages today: G- 25  B-23  B-21. So you can see how young they were to be dealing with all these things.  *love*  My boys were volunteer firemen since they were 18. They see someone on the side of the road broke down and they are stopping to help. My oldest son is studying to become an RN. My other son is studying for C S I. My daughter is now raising her daughter. (19months) I don't know where I would be without them in my life. I'm very proud of them and LOVE them with all my heart.
  They all say a special prayer for Roger and his family every night and ask that GOD makes sure he knows how much this plan means to them.
