May 2018

the doctors I went to were not accustomed to seeing "alternative" illnesses like this one, or there was no such diagnosis.
I'm sure I had it, related to fibromyalgia and metal toxicity. Painkillers, not opioids but the lesser ones, mostly made it worse.

Detox helped. MSM methsufonylmethane helped a bit. Things that helped the liver - dandelion root, milk thistle - helped too.

Yes the pain is severe. Even light was painful. I only found one doctor who had a clue, and he didn't really have a solution.
