Fibro Friendly Foods: Recipes to Cut Down the Pain

I have fibromyalgia. In 2011, I was in so much pain and so fatigued, I became desperate enough to change how I eat. I didn't think it would actually help, but it did in a big way. (See the link for Dr. St. Amand's Hypoglycemic/Fibromyalgia diet; see "My Journey" for more of my story, what the diet is, and what to expect from it). Changing your eating can seem a little daunting- okay, very daunting!- but it isn't that bad, and it doesn't have to be difficult or totally boring.

Abbreviations

It irritates me to no end when someone uses an abbreviation without explaining it.

-FM: Fibromyalgia
-HG: hypoglycemia (same as hyper-insulinism)
-SF: sugar-free
-CFS: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
-BS: Bachelor of Science degree... really, I think it's worth the 5 semesters of taking a language in order to get a BA (Bachelor of Arts), just so you don't have a BS in something. It's about credibility, folks. By the way, I have a BA. :)

If you see that I missed one somewhere on the page or you just want to see if I know one you've been wondering about, comment on here, and we'll test out how smart I really am. This is not a challenge; this is more of a "I warned you, so don't be disappointed when you find out the truth."
