I am new to these forums. After ten nightmare years of dealing with "traditional" medicine - here take this antibiotic or this antidepressant, I decided to take back my life. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, IBS, obesity, a chronically recurring abdominal hernia, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis,depression, and anxiety. I am currently unable to work and fortunately was approved for an LTD leave through my employer and insurance. I am ONLY 48, and I don't want to live like this!

Hello! It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum. By "traditional" medicine, I too, have everything under the sun wrong with me. Then again, it is mostly things that DO NOT show up on test results, and doctors have created medical categories to put us in (fibromyalgia, IBS, depression etc) when they don't really KNOW what is wrong, but they don't want to make themselves look stupid by not knowing. I applaude you for deciding to take your life back, that is what I am trying to do, too.

Do you have any amalgam fillings?

Welcome to the forum MM,

I'm glad to hear you've decided to take back your health. That's exactly what this kind of forum is for. We have a whole bunch of people here doing the same thing.
