Hi fellow 'Sconnies I am from Green Bay as well. Still getting used to being gluten free - and soy, lactose free. The Festival grocery stores in Green Bay have a nice selection of gluten-free foods - as well as Woodman's supermarkets - their aisle #18 is Huge !!!! My son lives a few blocks away from the Whole Foods Market in Madison...

Hi Mary Ellen I have visited the site you mention - and there is not a whole lot of research type info there, I agree. I am new to gluten intolerance, but not new to FM - have had it for 20 years. It certainly was made worse by the gluten intolerance, and I am fighting every day to regain some of my strength - one day at a time There...

Hi Donna Just a quick thank you - again - for all the info regarding Mag injections. I pick up all of my "little vials" today - 500 mg IM every 4-5 days. We'll see if that amount is enough to cover the awful headaches and muscle spasm. Sure hope so !!! At least my internist is willing to try - and that means so much. A good doctor never...

Taneil ....... I was pleasently surprised to read your post about how you handle your hypothyroidism. I am going to look into the Thyrophin PMG - can you tell me did you get it through a health food store ? Can you tell me a little more about the product ?? My internist is thinking that the longer I am gluten free - the autoimmune attack on my...

Thanks for your responses Susan .... I have the constant, unrelenting headaches too. Magnesium injections have helped tremendously, so that the severity is not as bad - but the frequency has not changed. I don't get the migraines as frequently since the start of the Mag IM's - before I was having "auras" almost daily, and it was hell !! ...

Nice to meet you Tammy .... isn't this all just fun !!!! I think that I have adrenal issues as well - now to find the appropriate tests for me. So many docs think of only Addison's disease - but there are so many out there with just plain hypoadrenia - and it is miserable. I have researched this quite a bit - and until adrenal issues are treated...

Thanks to both of you Yes it is sometimes difficult to know what right now is gluten related, Fibro related, or hypo related ........ arrgghhhhhh The exhaustion is frustrating - because I was used to being such a high energy person, even with FM. I have a lot of strange dizzines - not vertigo - just a strange dizziness. I haven't figured...

Thank you Stacie I will keep on trying till I feel the best I can !!! Best health wishses to you .... Nancy

Thanks, Jen, for you reply. Hoping there are some others out there who have been diagnosed with Hashi's ?? Thanks a bunch, Nancy

Hi everyone ....... Along with severe gluten intolerance,numerous other food allergies, fibromyalgia, I also have Hashi's hypothyroidism. I know that thyroid disease is seen often with gluten intolerance. I am wondering how many have this condition, and what thyroid replacement med has helped you the most ?? I have done a lot of research...

Hugs to you, Donna ----- email on it's way. Such a nice person to take time to share with me ...... I just can't thank you enough Nancy

I'm bumping this up for Donna . Thank you :+) Nancy

Hi Donna - hope you don't get sick of me asking about magnesium ???!!!!!!! When you have a few free minutes, would you be willing to share some of the background you have with Mag IM's (SubQ's) with me ??? I would really like to share this info with my internist - who has been a Godsend. How long have you been doing the injections ? How often...

Thanks for your reply Donna Yes - weather plays a big part in FM. I live in Wisconsin - and the humudity has been so high this summer it is sickening. Between that and the barometer going up and down several times a day - well inside with the a/c running is where I stay. I actually feel "ill" going out into the heat and humudity. I lived...
