Re: Chyrlann
Yes, I have been symptom free for almost seven years. There were a lot of things to change in my life; stress level, attitude, diet, etc. It was a long journey of recovery and one that few are willing to take, and continue to adhere to in particular the diet. My diet was very strict for many years before I was able to rotate the trigger foods in on a four-day cycle. It's difficult for most to understand the simple concept that everything we eat, breathe and whatever comes into contact with our skin is absorbed and has an effect on our immune system. Wheat was one of my greatest adversaries, but there are many foods made of other grains; spelt, amarith, kamute, that do not require the same digestive enzymes as wheat; breads, cereals & pastas. We're fortunate a lot of larger grocery stores carry these wheat alternatives now; QFC, Albertsons, Safeway and anywhere organic food is found. My other main adversary was lanolin. Lanolin is the oil from sheet-wool and is found in almost every lotion and most cosmetics. I always broke into hives from contact with wool; blankets, sox, clothing, but didn't stop to think that lanolin is also from wool and I was an habitual user of body lotions. Just removing these two things from my life began my immune response healing process. I wrote of my journey in FibroMYalgia Story; a Spiritual Journey to Healing. The book can be found at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. It is a personal journey of the trials I went through. My prayers are with you and your friend. ~Blessings~

I just really just found this out on Fri I have offered him as much as I can do for him and he thanked me, is it getting worse? I dont know if how long he has been diagnosed. So you are ok now with it? I guess he is more fatigued than anything. I just care a lot for him and I have told him, I hope he accept my caring. Thank you for your info and concern that is real sweet of you

Re: Chyrlann
Wow, that IS what I suffered with for 15 years. Ask him to get tested for food & environmental sensitivities; the single most contributing factor to my TOTAL recovery was in not eating wheat. I still rotate it in and out of my diet and maybe that's just me but ITS well worth a shot! The pain & fatigue is OVERWHELMING and it is NOT incurable but the immune response gone haywire! Don't ask him for anything, even his time; just tell him you are there for him and any support of any kind he might need. The next worst thing right up there with forcing yourself through each day is the GUILT you feel not wanting to inflict yourself as a burden on others. Please, please....feel free at any time to ask me any questions. If I can help just one person, my suffering won't have been in vain.

I think there's nothing to do with whether you fall in love too easy. Sometimes, we don't even know whether it's love or infatuation.
Honestly, if he wants you to be around, he'll call you. Further, you guys have been dating right? Have you thought about, maybe he's just not that into you? I'm sorry for being very honest. Friends have to be honest with each other. I just don't want you to get hurt.
However, try to keep a distance from him and let him miss you. It's easy to see whether he's into you. Try do everything and be near him for the few weeks. Then, keep a distance and he'll feel it. If not, forget it and NEXT!
Hopefully this will comfort you a little bit. I'm sorry if this annoy you.
Cheers

I know after a few dates he had pain, but it was just Fri he told me he has fibomyliagia and that is chronic pain, if you read the one I wrote he uses medicanal marijuna for his pain. I wish I knew this as I feel very strong for him but I don't know if he is going to want to continue because being in a relationship is draining him. When I talked to him on Sat he said he was so darn tired he couldnt move, and then this morning he sent me an email telling me he would call as soon as he feels better

LL, is he just sick? Or maybe he has a chronic ailement;
Don't assume it has anything to do with you. I had a chronic disorder for fifteen years and the pain & fatigue didn't allow me to have any other life but one step in front of the other just to make it through each day. Does he work a regular job full time? I would never have attempt a relationship if I hadn't recovered completely. It wouldn't have been fair to a prospective partner to fall in love under hidden medical pretense and have to live with 1/2 a person.
I've most recently found as long as I don't get physically involved, my emotions remain in tact for the most part and the falling part of love doesn't happen like it once did. It's a difficult endeavor when the chemistry is overwhelming, but it's easier to gain a better perspective from a distance. I'm NOT one to talk though, I did grow (not fall) to love a man I had a platonic relationship with most recently. The chemistry was overwhelming but in abstaining, I was able to view him from a different perspective, more logically, less emotionally. It was really nice growing in like first, then respect & adoration before he wrapped around my heart. If that makes sense. He didn't reciprocate my feelings, although I know we will remain friends but the entire experience enlightened my views regarding love & physical intimacy. ~Blessings~
