Ouch, Where Did That Pain Come From? © By Lena Sanchez You awoke this morning with pain that is more pronounced than usual and it's not exercise induced? Did you do something to provoke it? Possibly and probably! There are days like that for those of us who have had to live with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) for a lot of years or those who suffer with gout, arthritis and a myriad of other joint and tendon pain. According to researchers at Johns Hopkins, "There's no denying that there is a strong connection between what you eat and how you feel, and the difference is likely to become more and more apparent the older you get." (Johns Hopkins Health 2000, www.intelihealth.org) Heck, I figured that out on my own after a lot of excruciating pain filled days and nobody gave me a millions of dollars grant for figuring it out. Hey, they didn't send me on a cruise to figure it out either! Those perks are saved for the drug industry to feed us garbage, not perks for those who really care about our health. Although mostly denied by the medical profession for the last three decades that 'what you eat doesn't influence your pain'... And prior to the denial phase of medicine - when the pharmaceutical industry took over medical care - it was and in some circles still is a known factor that certain foods and drinks trigger certain pains and exacerbate certain autoimmune and so-called degenerative diseases. I have personally heard a lot of doctors that I worked with say "food isn't important to the problem"! For instance, Joint problems have been found to be exacerbated by the use of alcohol, liver and other organ meats. The most famous joint problem is recognized as "Gout." And even though the pharmaceutical companies have tried to convince the world this is not true, it certainly is, and gout and arthritis suffers who have had direct results by eliminating those foods, will tell you that when they stopped eating certain foods their problem subsided... They have escaped the liver and heart disease caused by those prescriptions as well! By the same token eating sugary foods and drinking sugary drinks do the same thing to FMS sufferers. Occasionally I wake up with "Ouch, where did those pains come from?" Of course it only takes a moment for me to remember that I did it to myself. My 30+ years with FMS has taught me a few things about myself that I'm not particularly happy with but it's there. I have those days when I just have to indulge in that Hershey's with almonds or a fun size snickers with almonds, or maybe a cherry soda. It took me years to figure out that almost all exacerbation of my FMS days are caused from what I put into my mouth. I now know those times that I indulge is going to make me suffer with pain and I have to decide if it's worth it and should others around me suffer for my indulgence? Those days have now become few and far between! Your doctor probably wrote you a prescription or prescriptions and said, "Food doesn't change anything. What you eat doesn't make a difference." Boy is he/she wrong! Congratulations, if you bought into that you are now buying boats and Jaguar's for the legal drug cartel's pushers, oops drug reps! Is your health problem suffering because you are a victim of your sugar habit? We have a choice, eat and be in pain or stay away from those pain inducing foods, candy, sodas, ice cream, etc. and be comfortable. Hoping you make a smart decision!
