I have Bipolar and have been having very bad joint pains that keep running throughout my body. I don't know why and I've taken all possible tests through blood and everything's come out fine, except a B12 test which was 100 points to high. This was ruled out that it is good to be over-efficent versus being deficient. As of 2 days ago, my physical therapist has come to conclude that she doesn't want to work with me anymore because I haven't made any progress for the past 3 months. (I've been with her for about 12 months as of the coming month of November) As far as the symptoms go, I think that I have fibromyalgia. It is also is possibly caused through mental stress, inadequate sleep, depression, anxiety, stress, and nonrestorative sleep. (Nonrestorative sleep does not refresh, leaving a person as tired as or more tired than before sleeping) As far as the symptoms go, I feel that this is what I have. Although I'm reading about its treatment, I'm finding the diet to be exceptionally difficult. Is there anyone who has any suggestions about what to eat, how to physically treat, etc.?
Hope to hear some answers/ideas,

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"

Cherries or Natural Cherry Juice works wonders for Arthritis pain... and some people feel better when they give up dairy products and eliminate gluten from their diet.

Gluten is found in: wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
