Hi Phillipa,

Sorry for the tardy reply.... I have been pondering how to answer this question without writing a book!

As succinct as I can be:

Encouraged (pushed) by a friend, I attended a FMS support group advertised in the newspaper. It was at a pain clinic about an hour from my home. After 3 or 4 of these monthly group discussions, the doc running the show made a connection to my long past issue with chronic recalcitrant urticaria.

A number of years ago, no MD, allergist, or dermatologist could solve this debilitating hives problem for me, but it was ultimately "tamed" using homeopathy! The naturopath uncovered food allergies. Once the urticaria got to be chronic there were lots of triggers so it was not easy to determine a root cause. I had to give up lots of things, I won't bore you with the list... Bottom line: Hives were gone, and I was thrilled.

After a year or so I started sneaking those foods back into my diet, and presto change-o, STILL NO HIVES. "Oh goody, I can eat whatever I want."

When the FMS showed up about 3 years later, I did not make the connection. Nor did my MD suggest any type of allergy as a cause. We did a sleep study, a pulmonary exam, a rheumatologist looked at me, etc., etc., no help at all. "Here, take these pain meds every day for the rest of your life....."

Fast forward to the pain clinic support group about 3 years later. The doc did a 3 week supervised detox using Thorne medical food (rice protein) and got all the cooties out of me. Away went the pain and the fog.

The only food I have to avoid is dairy.

I am one of the lucky ones that found the source. I would recommend the detox to anyone. You can check out Thorne MediClear on the web.

Happy to answer any questions.

Janet
