1.  READERS WRITE
 
"God bless you for caring about all our problems.  You are the only one I feel that truly knows what I'm going through."
 
"Thanks again for making all of this info available to us!"
 
"When people tell me that I look good, little do they know that I may look good on the outside but I'm screaming out on the inside.  I call it my monster within."
 
"I am amazed at the care you take to help us all, I have no idea how you do it and I am a newbie.  I have spent so much money and time on things and doctors that it seriously messed up our lives. Eventually we had to declaire banckruptcy.  The money that doctors, pharmacies  charge is at times staggering. But for me the biggest price was always the death of another piece of my soul. Another failure that will allways exist haunting any  possibility of actually having hope again. Each time we throw ourselves into the battle and each time we lose a part of us dies. I don't know how to put a price tag on that."
 
"Your newsletter give us lots of news, and I check every day to see if you have new news."
 

 
2.  DEALING WITH HURTFUL COMMENTS ABOUT FIBRO
 
From a reader--
 
"i had emails from 3 of your readers regarding my friend's hurtful comments. One reader suggested i write to my friend explaining just how much her words hurt me/hurt all of us. I did just that - and my friend actually thanked me!!  Isn't that wonderful? She said that she really didn't realise how much she was hurting me - that she thought she was doing the right thing.. She ended by saying if she slips up and starts to say the wrong thing again to kick her in the pants. Lol. I doubt i would be quite that drastic - but i certainly would be putting her right. On closing Dom, i would firstly like to thank you and your dear readers for the support during that horrid time and also i wondered if you would like a copy of the letter i sent so as to put it in the newsletter - in case it might help anyone else in a similar situation??"
 
FROM DOM:  YES!!!!!  I asked this reader to please send the letter!!!  I need this too!
 

 
3.  SICK FROM FLU SHOT
 
From a reader--
 
"Because of the new grandbaby and his "fragileness", I got a flu shot last week. I have been sick ever since. And was fine till I got it. Afterwards I had a 3-day headache, severe aching all over, chills, have developed a cough, and generally feel like I've been run over by a herd of buffalo. Mom (83) took one too, and is fine. The swine flu vaccine... not a chance."
 

 
4.  DR. KLIMAS ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT XMRV & CFS
 
From a reader--
 
"The NY Times has been following up on the XMRV story. Here’s a link where a doctor answers a few questions from readers:

http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/readers-ask-a-virus-linked-to-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/."

FROM DOM:  This is in Q & A format.   Excellent information and some follow up postings.  Also see my page at www.fms-help.com/aids.htm.


5.  H1N1 CAN INCLUDE SORE THROAT, STUFFY NOSE, ETC.

From a reader--

This is from CDC’s site:

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/qa.htm

“The symptoms of 2009 H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, including 2009 H1N1 and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.”

Seems that a sore throat and stuffy nose isn’t just for colds with this one. 

FROM DOM:  Sorry I did not include these symptoms on a chart of a COLD vs. H1N1 sent out earlier.


 
6.  QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE XMRV RETROVIRUS
 
From a reader--

http://www.wpinstitute.org/xmrv/xmrv_qa.html - XMRV QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

http://www.wpinstitute.org/news/news_current.html - In The News - October 9, 2009: Detection of an Infectious Retrovirus, XMRV, in Blood Cells of Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Science) - many sources listed

Reader response--

"I have suspected for a long time that it is a viral problem because the symptoms are so 'fluish' and the fever comes back over and over...for years."

Reader's question--

"Does XMRV cause fibromyalgia?"

FROM DOM:  Fibromyalgia was mentioned in the second question answered in the site above--

"What is the link between XMRV and ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and other neuro-immune diseases? - Our initial research showed that 67% of the ME/CFS patient samples tested positive for XMRV. Further work has found that 95% tested positive. Work continues to understand how this virus works within neuro-immune diseases, but this discovery proves a significant correlation between this serious retrovirus and these diseases. Our work suggests, but does not prove, that XMRV may be the underlying cause of ME/CFS. Much additional work needs to be done to understand how XMRV causes disease and what types of diseases it is linked to it.  A few fibromyalgia samples were tested and yes, they were positive. However the sampling was very small, and testing will have to continue on a much larger scale to begin to draw significant conclusions. In addition, many patients with ME/CFS have been given the diagnosis of fibromyalgia when in fact they have ME/CFS and fibromyalgia."
 
FROM DOM:  I have long believed that FMS/CFIDS/ME was caused by a virus.  I have a lot of info on my site at www.fms-help.com.  I have had FMS since 1982 www.fms-help.com/fibro.htm - it happened overnight in June 1982 when I was 30.  Five years later in 1987, I developed CFIDS www.fms-help.com/fatigue.htm after a very nasty virus (symptoms where 6 months of illness, bronchitis and eventually pleurisy).  I did not get relief from pain and fatigue until 1996, when I began discovering things that helped me (see my list at www.fms-help.com/what.htm).  Everything was going pretty well until 2004 when I worked for a year in toxic mold www.fms-help.com/mold.htm, and I think my immune system became damaged.  However, 9 weeks ago, a reader told me about stabilized liquid oxygen.  I am now feeling NORMAL.  Have been through a lot of stress and work lately - I am a piano teacher and church musician.  We just had our School of Music fall recital for 30 students and this week is revival at our church, and  I am still feeling fine!  Viruses can't live in a high oxygen environment.  My husband always said it was like oxygen wasn't getting to my brain, but I didn't know what else to do.  I was using powerful antioxidants and they helped for awhile, but it still wasn't enough to permanently get rid of the brain fog and debilitating fatigue.


7.  HEMOCHROMATOSIS?

From a reader--

http://www.rense.com/health2/fibro.htm - >Fibromyalgia? CFIDS? or Hemochromatosis!? (iron overload)


8.  SWINE FLU & FIBROMYALGIA
 
 From a reader--
 
"I was just wondering if you knew of anyone with fibromyalgia that has had the swine flu?  I am very wary about getting the vaccine, but I would like to know if the actual flu is hitting fibromites any harder than the regular flu."
 
FROM DOM:  In a recent newsletter I had a video clip of a doctor on the news who said people with FMS/CFIDS should NOT get the swine flu shot or disastrous consequences could happen.  Have any of my readers with FMS/CFIDS had the swine flu or the swine flu shot?  If so, how are you doing?  A few horror stories from readers have come my way already.
 

 
9.  HYPERBARIC OXYGEN
 
From a reader--
 
"Only one person answered my question you put in your newsletter a few weeks ago on my behalf regarding hyperbaric oxygen therapy......maybe other people tried it and got well ???  I have my doubts about that. She had 6 treatments with no improvement in symptoms.  The Dr I have seen is recommending 40 treatments to get results @ $200 per treatment!  I cannot afford that sort of money.  If it was a known cure, well yes I would borrow the money and go for it. It is also 50 miles away from where I live, I have exactly the same problem traveling very far in a car as you do with the constant stimulus to the brain with moving objects, shadows etc and have to lay back in the passenger seat with an eye mask on to keep out any sensory input.  Then I'm exhausted when I get there.  Driving myself for anymore than 20-30 minutes is too much and I suffer for days and have to lie in a dark room to recharge my brain."
 
FROM DOM:  Sounds like I have a twin out there.  Seriously, I am very happy to report that the oxygen drops have relieved me of the brain fog and debilitating fatigue - I have had 9 weeks of normalcy!  In the next week or two, I would like to make a trip to my mother's house (51 miles away) to see if I can travel again.   It has been several years since I have been able to drive more than about 25 minutes without the same symptoms this reader has.  All of my sensory input problems began after working for a year in toxic mold in 2004-2005 www.fms-help.com/mold.htm, but I feel normal now with the drops (they alkalize the pH and oxygenate the body - I feel like oxygen is getting to my brain now - also oxygen kills viruses).  It's great to feel like a normal person.
 

 
10.  VACCINE REACTIONS DISMISSED AS COINCIDENCE
 
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/20/Mild-Swine-Flu-and-Over-Hyped-Vaccine.aspx
 

 
11.  A WARNING FOR DOM
 
Good advice from a reader--
 
"I am so glad that you have been doing so well for such a long time. (Well, to us "sickies", 10 weeks of normal is extremely long).  I just want to encourage you to be extra vigilent to not overdo it.  I am hoping and praying that your improvement will continue to hold. 
 
After being sick initally (not bedridden, but unable to hold down even a part time job) for almost two years, I improved and thought I was entirely well for about 6  months.  I thought it was a result of some homeopathic treatment I had been receiving (which involved homeopathic remedies and also me being diligent to keep my urine ph on the alkaline side, like your oxygen drops help you do) only to  later relapse into a state that was so much worse than the initial illness. 
 
Because I felt better, I had not been diligent about my homeopathics, supplements and maintaining my urine ph, and I had been under a lot of stress (moved, painted my house, had a flooded finished basement that I did the clean up of myself, including removing carpet padding and drying out the carpets within 24 hours to prevent mold, etc).  I had some help from my husband and kids, but they all thought I was back to normal, too. I obviously did not realize that I was not completely well and did much more than my body could handle.
 
The relapse was two years ago and it left me bedridden (up only to  use the toilet) for about a year (and jealous of cancer patients, who in my mind, were lucky- #1, to have a diagnosis that was taken seriously and #2, at least if they don't get well, they get to die.  The Lord has since shown me the error of my ways with that attitude, but I am only being honest about how I felt to let you know how sick I was).   I am currently housebound and coming off about two months of semi-bedridden misery.  (I am on sodium chlorite, too. Spotty use at first, because even 1 drop caused extreme fatigue.  But I have been able to work up to 3 drops at a time and have been doing that amount several times a day for about 4 weeks now and I think I can feel some improvement.  It has helped clear my fog and I don't feel as sick.
 
Please don't misunderstand, I am not trying to discourage you or "burst your bubble" I am just cautioning you to be extra careful for at least the next year to give your body a chance to "hold" your good state.  According to Dr. Cheney, it takes your body at least a year or more to get used to being well again because of being sick for so long (something to do with cell signaling factors). 
 
I would encourage you to ask your husband  or someone else to help you stay accountable and close to your "pre-normal feeling" boundaries,  increasing activity levels at small increments and holding those increases for at least three weeks at a time before bumping the increment up a little more.  Again, I am so happy for you and I hope that you can continue to feel normal.  It gives the rest of us great hope.  I hope I can have similar results some day.  My body has a lot further to go than yours did at the time you started your drops so it may take me quite a bit longer."
 
FROM DOM:  Oh my!  I should have heeded this reader's advice!  I have been feeling great for 10 weeks with the oxygen drops that tried to push the envelope last week to see how my body would cope.  Here's what went on:  the usual with teaching my music students, 5 revival services at church  with Dr. Bill Stafford (which were wonderful), Friday I drove a 90 mile round trip to a piano store in Jacksonville, Saturday I ran errands all over town with my husband, Sunday I played for 2 services plus we had a choir/orchestra rehearsal for a big program that is coming up.  What threw me under the bus was that I waited too late Saturday night to do my last minute practice for Sunday services.  That got my brain wired, and even with sleep meds, I didn't sleep much Saturday night - a baaaad way to start a busy Sunday!  Today is Monday and I feel really wiped out.  I have a lot of students today.  Sleep is a VERY important part of our health and well-being.  Read my insomnia story at www.fms-help.com/insomnia.htm (my sleep disorder began at age 16 - I am now 57).   I now realize that I need to pace myself and keep to a reasonable schedule.  Other stressful things - like troubled relationships - also gobble up a lot of ones energy reserves.  We all have to take really good care of ourselves to live with FMS/CFIDS.  It's like a computer program always running in the background, no matter what you might see on the screen!  (Hope everyone gets this analogy.)
 

 
11. NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE AT A FIBRO & FATIGUE CENTER
 
From a reader--
 
"I just wanted to mention my experience with the Fibro and Fatigue Center. I went to one for almost a year. I felt the staff and the doctor I saw were wonderful people who seemed to really care about each and every person that walked through the door. But what I suspect is that each doctor is put through a training progam and they are then told to push and I mean really push the supplements that they sell. By the time I stopped going I was on 53 (yes 53!) supplements. I think I spent about $7,000 between infusions, visits and supplements. The supplements were outrageous. They were extremely expensive and I never felt that any of it made me feel the least bit better.  To be honest some just made me sicker. And none of this is covered by insurance for most people. I feel that they take advantage of people that they know are willing to try anything and that they really don't have a clue about how to really help this illness. Some of the supplements made sense but others I questioned and just wouldn't take. How could any one person need to be on 53 pills a day?  What really bothered me the most was that they ran tons of blood test and told me all these things were off like my testosterone and hormones etc. When I left them and went to my regular doctor he could not fathom how they came to some of the conclusions they came up with. I had him repeat some of the tests, convinced they had to be right and he couldn't get any of the same results. Very interesting, don't you think? I had put all my hope in this place, thought this was it, I was going to be better at any cost...I was devastated. It took me awhile, but I slowly realized that the whole thing was a scam. No other words for it in my opinion. I think it's really sad that they take advantage in such a way. The other interesting thing is that the doctor I saw while I was going there ending up leaving and starting her own practice. She kept calling me and leaving me messages that she thought she could help me now that she was free to follow her own protocol and her own beliefs on what caused fibro. She said she was forced to do things their way while she was there but now she could do what she thought was best and that apparently was different from the program they were pushing. She was the one great thing about the program, I think she really wanted to help and that's why she probably left, but I ended up moving from the area. Anyway, just thought you might find this interesting. I know some people probably feel differently about their experiences, but I was left just feeling sad and let down."
 
FROM DOM: If you have been a patient at a Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Center, I would be interested to hear your experience, positive or negative - briefly.  Write dombush@bellsouth.net.  I will send out a compilation of testimonials soon.   Sorry the Dr. Oz show was such a flop with Dr. Teitelbaum Friday.  Many readers reported that Dr. O. didn't let Dr. T. say but a few words!


12.  SWINE FLU CASES OVERESTIMATED

From a reader--

"Thought it was interesting that the President declares a state of emergency with only 1,000 swine flu deaths so far (that means one out of every 305,000 Americans).  Regular flu has already killed 13,000 since January.  Or has the flu really killed that many????? If you click the CDC link and read the CDC website the CDC talks about how the CDC came up with that number- even though there are not 13,000 so far this year with flu listed on their death certificate.  Lots of hype to get us to buy the vaccine even when the "danger" has largely passed????  One wonders, in the time of emergency this ( banks need bailout) and emergency that (now healthcare needs bailout).  Here is the link to the short article :  http://www.theblogofrecord.com/2009/04/28/regular-flu-kills-36000-americans-every-year/"

FROM DOM:  Also see this one: "CBS Reveals Swine Flu Cases Overestimated" http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx


13.  B-12 SHOTS
 
From a reader--
 
"I am in my 50's, raising children, and I am in school full time.  I have FMS/CFS and am riddled with shingles all the time from stress. I wanted to let you know about something I have been taking for about 2 months now and it is really helping my CFS. I have been getting vitamin B12 shots every two weeks and I have to tell you, I feel 80 percent better as far as the CFS goes. I am also taking Cymbalta for major depression and I do believe it may be helping with the fibro pain."
 
FROM DOM:  I sure hope this reader will try oxygen drops and DMSO cream for shingles (also effective for cold sores).  The herpes zoster virus is a vicious one that I have battled for years and this treatment has been the only thing I have found that has been effective and not dangerous (such as taking large doses of anti-virals to suppress the virus).  Shingles is horrible!  I feel so sorry for this reader.  I had two bouts of shingles this year before being told by a reader about the oxygen drops and DMSO treatment.  Also, cold sores are an ugly, nasty nuisance that have plagued me for 10 years, but since starting the oxygen drops and applying the rose-scented DMSO to areas of former cold sore outbreaks, I have had no outbreaks and have felt great for 10 weeks - I have had no brain fog or debilitating fatigue!  I feel like a normal person now.  I put the oxygen drops in my drinking water (they alkalize the pH and oxygenate the body) and apply the DMSO cream as soon as I feel the shingles "tingle" or the cold sore "tingle."  Anyone who has herpes zoster may want to look into this treatment.  It has worked for me.  I have a long list of things I tried previously for cold sores at www.fms-help.com/coldsores.htm.
 

 
14.  SUICIDAL FEELINGS
 
From a reader--
 
"Do you ever struggle with longing for death, perhaps even feeling a bit suicidal?  It is hard to find any sick or handicapped folks who are willing talk about it."
 
FROM DOM:  Yes.  I used to think about this frequently.  Please see my page at www.fms-help.com/suicide.htm.
 


15.  MERCURY TOXICITY, CFS SYMPTOMS & BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
 
From a reader--
 
"For around 6 months I went to a medical group who specializes in CFS/Fibro.   The original doctor of the practice was a founding partner of the Fibro Fatigue Centers, and he is an endocrinologist.  He is held in high regard by Dr. Teitelbaum and mentioned in his books, etc.  These people really understand the conditions and the impact on patients’ lives. Their lab testing was the most extensive I’ve ever experienced and was very enlightening.  I was treated with prescription compounded  bioidentical hormones for female hormonal imbalances. In addition, I bought their proprietary protocol formulas for CFS.  The products were extremely expensive,  and some of them caused die off reactions and further fatigue which is common when the body is casting off yeast and other toxins.  This medical group does not accept insurance, so I payed out-of-pocket for the treatment and the formulas, though my insurance did reimburse me around 30% of the doctor’s fees as out-of-network coverage.  The formulas were the same as those used by Fibro Fatigue Centers, though they were much cheaper through my doctor’s office.  I found out later, when I informed them that I could no longer afford to continue with this medical group, that they would have suggested that I use less expensive products from Whole Foods, etc.  That rather angered me, but I couldn’t continue to pay the out-of-network doctor fees anyway.  All in all, I was grateful for their caring, knowledgeable approach and  the superior treatment with bio-identical hormones.  The bio-identical hormones have greatly improved my health and extensively lowered my pain levels.  I’ve since moved to a GYN who can prescribe the same hormones.  I also resumed care with my previous CFS/Fibro specialist who tweaks the Teitelbaum protocol to include a slant towards testing for heavy metals toxicity.   My longterm specialist has found that at least 80% or more of his patients have mercury toxicity which vastly changes a patient’s treatment course and offers deeper explanations for how CFS/Fibro patients take complex and circuitous routes to chronic illness.   More patients should insist on heavy metals testing with a challenge test.   Just reading about the symptoms of mercury toxicity would cause red flags to go off in the minds of most CFS/Fibro patients.  In conclusion, I would have to say that each and every doctor that I’ve seen has helped to uncover another of the many pieces of the chronic illness mystery that has been my journey now for around 5 years."
 
FROM DOM:  My mouth is paved with mercury - mostly from my childhood and early 20's.  I am 57.  I am a dental chicken due to my childhood dentist not using novacaine for drilling, only extractions.  I do not plan to have my fillings replaced.  My mail runs very low with readers' success in feeling better after mercury removal.  Most have been disappointed.  If you have had your mercury fillings replaced and wish to report in, please write dombush@bellsouth.net."

17.  GUAIFENESIN PROTOCOL
 
From a reader--
 
"I have suffered from very severe Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue for 16 years.  Two years after earnestly seeking God’s help with this, I got an actual overnight answer to my prayer.  As a matter of fact, on the evening news the next day, I experienced a truly incredible God incident.  After reading the first chapter of a book called “Knowing God’s Will for Your Life,” I threw the book down frustrated. I asked God how I was supposed to do anything for Him, when my days began with me getting out of bed and falling down on the floor every morning in pain, and then limping through the day at work barely able to move or think with Fibrofog, and on constant pain medications,  The next day, I got an incredible answer to my prayer. On the evening news,  a woman in my community had started a Fibromyalgia Support Group, and had actually reversed her symptoms without just covering them up with pain medications, or Lyrica, or all the other stuff out there.  I was at her next meeting, and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first.  She and the group never asked for any money sold magic pills and just gave all of us a book and  CD of the treatment and even offered to buy the first Guaifenesin pills to get us started.  Guaifenesin is Mucinex by the way and is sold over the counter.

 

I learned about “The Guaifenesin Protocol, By Dr. St. Amand, and received his Book “What Your Doctor May not tell you about Fibromyalgia.  You may Google any of the above bold typed words/phrases and the Guaifenesin protocol will come up on the internet. Dr. St Amand is and endocrinologist at the UCLA Medical Center, has fibromyalgia, as do some of his children and grandchildren, and he has been treating Fibromyalgia for 40 years.

 

The treatment is over the counter. Guaifenesin or (Mucinex) takes approximately two months to reverse each year you have had major symptoms.  The treatment took me about 7 months to get well.  This is a kidney disorder caused by the retention of Phosphates and Calcium which accumulates in bones, muscles and every cell in the body causing the multitude of problems.  The action of the Guaifenisen speeds up or helps the kidneys with the elimination of the accumulated excessive phosphate/calcium or (plaque) from where it has incorrectly accumulated in bones muscles and cells of every tissue in the body.  Which is why this causes such a mix and variety of body-wide problems.

 

There is no complete cure for the disease, since we with Fibromyalgia have some defective chromosomes, which cause our proteins to go awry, but it is entirely treatable with the Guaifenesin Treatment. (Up to 90%-98% of symptoms are reversed or disappear.)

 

I am 95-98% better and I don’t have to even take any pain medicines any more. I don’t fall down, nor do I have any cognitive problems (fibro fog), and I have all my energy back, can climb stairs, run, sleep well etc. and often nowadays I even forget I have fibromyalgia.  Most in our group have been very well for years. I have been well now for almost four years.  We have one lady who went on the protocol who has been well for 16 years. 

 

The only thing you have to learn about is that the action of Guaifenesin is blocked in the kidneys by Salicylic acid (plant acids in the form of oils, gels, extracts that we put on our skin or are in toothpaste, etc.  So with small changes in lotions, toothpastes, mouthwash, and products we use causes  the Guaifenesin to not be blocked  blocked from doing its work.  All I have to do now is take my Guaifenesin dail,y avoid products with strong Salicylic acids in them, (plant oils, gels, and extracts, and I feel great .

 

I now volunteer with the Colorado Springs Recovery Assistance Foundation, and as I said many of us here are well, or are in stages of getting better and better, and we are getting our lives back because of this treatment.  We are a non-profit, sell nothing, and many or most of us just happen to be Christians as well.   Our website is www.fibrohelp.net  and you can read some of our stories there, and if you Google Dr. St. Amand or go to www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com, you will find the treatment protocol and Books and even a CD of the treatment there. The difference in this treatment and every other pill or treatment, is that this actually reverses the condition or symptoms, and doesn’t just mask it or cover it up.

 

I am 95-98% better and I don’t have to even take any pain medicines any more. I don’t fall down, nor do I have any cognitive problems (fibro fog), and I have all my energy back, can climb stairs, run, sleep well etc. and often nowadays I even forget I have fibromyalgia.  Most in our group have been very well for years. I have been well now for almost four years.  We have one lady who went on the protocol who has been well for 16 years. 

 

This disease has been proven to be genetic, and Dr. St. Amand’s latest research has proven that is linked to the kidneys by defective chromosomes- which have to do with proteins which are not doing their job. 

 

The only thing you have to learn about is that the action of Guaifenesin is blocked in the kidneys by Salicylic acid (plant acids in the form of oils, gels, extracts that we put on our skin or are in toothpaste, etc.  So with small changes in lotions, toothpastes, mouthwash, lotions etc. the Guaifenesin isn’t blocked from doing its work.  All I have to do not is take my Guaifenesin daily avoid products with strong Salicylic acids in them, and I feel great."
