I am cured. It took 11 years. The first two years were hell, the third year was a bit better but still bad. Years four and five were a LOT better. It did go up from there.
I managed it by staying away from the Internet and forums like this...sorry, but I had to come back to post a video about staying away from Aspartame! I have to get off the forum now, but the things that helped em were, in the beginning sitting under the shower, then Valium, 10mg a day (careful with that, was starting to turn my brain to mush, bad memory! But it helped for about ten years) VERY hot baths so you can barely get in to mellow the muscles. Then I just tried not to think about it and have fun with my life! That is what cured me really. It took time is all. I took comfort in the fact my doctors assured me there was nothing wrong, and I BELIEVED them.
Hugs to all of you! I know what you are going through 100 percent.mand check out the lady on this video. I saw this today and it was like a revaluation. I used to drink a lot of diet coke!
