    I was studying about how myalgic encephalitis is really a disfunction of the mitochondria, and generally from something like parasites, mold, Lyme and also toxins like heavy metals and such, etc. I’m working on all of these things, and it makes sense that a dysfunction of mitochondria is the root cause of the lack of energy, and that by healing our mitochondria, our energy reserves can often be restored, but it takes time. I always noticed a difference in energy when I use the infrared sauna followed by a freezing cold shower and do a coffee enema. God bless you with continued healing.

    Melissa, a great interview and everything resonated with me in so many levels. I am a yoga teacher myself for over 16 years and 18 years with fibro. My personal practice are my life line and teaching yoga with compassion to others. I am not longer able to do headstand, arm balancing asanas etc, but who cares. My practice daily home practice is 20 minutes some day other days 5 mins. The breath is the center of my practice, and my teaching with guided meditation at the beginning and at the end. Do what you can, come as is and honour where you are that day. I have RA and hypermobiled hips too ☺️. Just started LDN 8 days ago and feel better with my pain already. It took me 2 years to convince my GP to prescribed and my RA doctor, just told me no 😔. Thank you so much Melissa for sharing your story, tips and the good and ugly of Fibromyalgia. Greetings from 🇨🇦 and 🇵🇦 💜🪷🙏🏽

    That’s wonderful to hear that you are transitioning to finding your own pace. Does that mean that your UA-cam channel will change its name? And if so, how do we go to that? I guess I feel the same way. My passions are creating my art, and my grandchildren. I would rather focus on finding what works for me so I can reduce my number and the strength of my crashes.😊😊

    I understand this. I have had fibro since I was around 10, and I had issues with taking everything commonly prescribed. I started LDN and cut my dose twice, where it’s reset my digestion. Each change is a major decision. To even be on anything is a major decision.

    • @MelissavsFibromyalgia
      @MelissavsFibromyalgia Місяць тому

      The range they usually mention is 1-6mg. However there's a large variation in real life. I've heard of people starting as low as 0.5mg due to sensitivities. I felt benefit from 2mg but best at 4mg.

    • @verdano2577
      @verdano2577 Місяць тому

      @@MelissavsFibromyalgia thanks Melissa. I have an appointment at a pain clinic in a few weeks. I hope I can convince them to prescribe it. I have fibro and myofascial pain syndrome and no pain killer so far did anything. I am on pregabalin for 1.5 years now, it did help some with anxiety but not with pain. Duloxetine, I tried a few times, I cannot go high enough in dose without very bad side effects. Knowing I am medication sensitive, I think I will ask the doctor to start with 0.5 mg LDN also.

    Such a great video! This is extremely familiar to me. I really struggle to know my own limits. I have a friend who's quite bad with money, and we always joke that I spend energy like he spends money. As soon as I have a scrap of energy, I'm up, using it. I don't know how to just sit and rest. I'm working on nervous system retraining (through DNRS and Gupta) and it has helped so much! But as soon as I start feeling better, I burn myself out again😂😭😬 ooooops. Now I'm trying to develop the skill of Pacing. Gosh, it's so much harder than it sounds

    • @MelissavsFibromyalgia
      @MelissavsFibromyalgia 2 місяці тому

      I agree that we should start low and go slow. However I don't think everyone needs to go as low as 0.1mg. In fact that's impractical in many places. Because its a compounded medicine, I paid a lot more for any dose besides 4.5mg.
