For 12+ years I had the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Celiac Disease. I discovered that the Fibromyalgic pain I was experiencing was in a part of my body called the Fascia. I also discovered that it grew noticeably worse depending on what I put in or on my body. Fasting for up to 12 day periods with simply water, I could find some relief. Pain medications did not help, but Benadryl did. I realized my body was having an immune system response to certain foods, chemicals in the air, lotions, etc. It was like an immune system overload. When the histamines in my body overtook me, my fascia would draw up so tight I could hardly move, especially around my spine, though I hurt all over, all the time. the Histamine response kept me in a constant brain fog. No sleep, no rest. I woke up exhausted. It was unending. For the last 6 years of my Fibromyalgia, I began to seek God. For the last 3 years of my Fibromyalgia, I prayed for help. Then I prayed for healing. Others prayed for me. In December 2012 I woke up one morning (yes I slept!) and felt better. The next day I woke up and felt even better. On the third day, it was completely gone. I give total credit to God and Jesus, who is the Great Physician. I have hope that everyone who seeks will find. God Bless You all. I know the pain, but I also know the blessing of healing. It can happen! Don't give up! Return to main page...
