Oh, yes, I have noticed a correlation between bad days and attitudes about food. I find that when my fibro flares up, I want comfort food, or at least something easy to prepare. That used to mean I would grab a chewy granola bar and a glass of milk. Now I just force myself to eat right.

You might want to try L-Glutamine for your sugar cravings. It helps quite a bit, and is also good for your muscles. Just keep at the low carb, in the long run, it will help your fibro, and the flare ups will start to taper off.

I found that when I started Atkins, my flare ups were alot worse, for awhile, and I generally felt like I had the flu. It turned out I have a yeast overgrowth, called candida. You might want to read some of the posts about candida. I have read some new information that fibromyalgia might be caused by candida. Don't want to confuse you with new possible problems, but it might help to read about it, there is a separate thread pertaining to candida/IBS.

Hope you feel better!
