I was diagnosed awhile back with severe fibromyalgia that Celebrex plus 4 Aleve a day did nothing to help...stopped the celebrex about 7 months ago, because why take it if it isn't helping? Saw no difference.... pain absolutely disabling!
Agony just trying to walk, agony thinking I would have to go to Assisted Living.
Took all aspartame out of my diet Sunday.... Monday, Tuesday, & today ALL pain gone!!! Planning to paint my bedroom, in fact. Anyone else see this?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My ex was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia for years as it seems to be the catch-all doctors use when they can't find the real cause of something. My ex went to an endocrinologist and had an in-depth blood work up. She had been suffering from body aches and pains as well as severe migraines.
Turns out she was hypothyroid. When she started taking synthroid... All her aches, pains and headaches went away like magic.

This is a good case for getting tested for stuff. It's the one thing I do do. Blood tests, etc.
Happy to hear you're feeling better sis❤

I was drinking a lot of "crystal lite" stuff as a way to increase fluids in my diet.
I can’t tolerate aspartame at all, I get terrible migraines.
By the way, Celebrex won’t do much for fibromyalgia, you should try something like neurontin or Lyrica. If you are are Celebrex and Aleve together( both NSAID’s) I hope you are taking something to protect your stomach.
