I have had fibromyalgia for 23 years. I have used a plethora of treatments, but my health has gone up and down through the years--I've never gotten over it, which some people have. Do you know of any good treatments for...

ASL19741978 Yep. That's a catch, indeed! I've been put on many medications that had such wretched side effects that I had to go off. That's why I'm trying to get off all Rx meds, except for the compounded natural ones. To much toxicity! Thanks for your good...

ASL19741978 I would never use mind-altering drugs, nor would I do yoga. I don't believe in "emptying my mind" no matter what the method that leads to it. Thanks for your response.

ASL19741978 :) Good disclaimer! Me neither. Yes, Lyrica is being touted as the new wonder drug for FMS. However, it's very new and rather untested (to me "tested" means it has a 20+ year good track record), so I am steering away from it. I have been on stuff that made...

ASL19741978 AmbiePam, I have gotten a lot of help from Gonstead chiropractors (it's a special methodology). I am currently going to one. My problem is, I need to get off the medications I'm on (I'm about 3/4ths of the way there now), continue to take helpful supplements...

ASL19741978 Thanks, AmbiePam, for giving that link. :) Fibromyalgia is considered a syndrome or condition, rather than a disease, although recently the FDA (and apparently some people think they are all-knowing) approved a drug specifically and only for fibromyalgia,...

I realize that not everyone (by a long shot) on myLot is a citizen of the US. However, I would like to know the following: 1. Who would you vote for if you could vote? 2. Is there one special reason you would vote for...

ASL19741978 I agree with your criteria for a president. I also hope someone like Huckabee or McCain wins. I definitely think it will be a huge mistake to elect Hillary or Obama. I think the US is in for some rough times ahead! Thanks for your excellent response. :)

This question just came to me as I was thinking about my (or my mom's) situation. She's been in a coma for 16 days now. I've prayed a lot lately. I have always prayed, but I'm praying more now. I also know that a lot of...

ASL19741978 My dear friend, I don't think you were accusing me of anything or judging me. Another person in the conversation said I was judging them. I wasn't. Not in the way they think. I was trying to be discerning about what they were saying, which is something I...

ASL19741978 Dear MiaMilady, This is in direct response to you, my friend, since you wrote and asked me to comment on some of your questions or things you were pondering after reading people's posts, including mine. 1. Regarding saying "Hail, Marys." The word "hail"...

ASL19741978 Concerning what we should call God--He has a Name (just as you and I have a name, and would not appreciate being called by someone else's name). His Name is YHWH (pronounced with the vowels "Yahweh"). His Son's Name is Y'shua the Messiah (or Jesus Christ--from...

ASL19741978 There is something you need to know about me. I do care about you, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered commenting on your response to this discussion (which, as the author pointed out, was not started by me). If you will re-read what I wrote to you, you will...

ASL19741978 It is interesting that you "don't believe in a god or gods" but "I do pray just in case there is someone up there." Do you see the extreme conflict in your beliefs? Either you believe in God and trust Him, or you don't--there's no middle ground. I'd be happy...

ASL19741978 Have you ever thought about how praying "Catholic prayers," praying to God the Father, to Mary, to Native American gods, to angels, and to "spirit guides" are all completely contradictory? God tells us to pray to Him in the Name of Jesus Christ. Period. Even...

ASL19741978 I'm sorry that people told you that if you had more faith, your mom would have been healed. That is a guilt trip that people use on others to show their own "spiritual superiority" (which doesn't exist, especially if they are saying cruel things to someone who...

ASL19741978 I hear ya! Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald are two of my favorite singers as well. I like the sounds of the ocean and the rain since I grew up on an island and those are the sounds that put me to sleep every night. My brother Sandy Simpson's music combines...

ASL19741978 I believe Keith Urban, as well as some rock bands that cross over into country like Alabama, have helped ease people who normally never listened to country music into it. I am one of those people. The screaming I can do without, as well. I am not much of a...

ASL19741978 What did you do with them, if I may ask? Did you use AdSense, or what? That's a lot. Especially compared to my $4.41 :) Thanks for responding! If you have a website, I'd like to see what you're doing right! :)
