I was diagnosed five or six years ago with fibromyalgia. I first noticed how much better I felt when I didn't eat carbohydrates. Then once when I was treated with diflucan for a fungal skin rash condition I couldn't believe how good I felt! Right now I am trying a anti-candida system involving capryllic acid, bentonite, and acidolpholus. Recently I've been able to eat carbs without any muscle pain. This has been a real problem because after 5 years of not eating carbs it hard to control myself! And of course eventually if I eat too many I do get the pain. But I've gained 10 pounds this winter and I'm having trouble getting back to my extra strict diet.
