Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a common rheumatoid disorder of the muscles and bones that does not involve the joints. FMS causes pain and fatigue, and people with FMS feel as if their muscles have been pulled or overworked. Sometimes the muscles twitch or burn. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known. It is not associated with injuries to muscles, nerves or joints nor to any serious body damage or disease. FMS affects more women than men and occurs in people of all ages. In some people, FMS is associated with measurable changes in body chemistry and functioning, but it is not known whether these changes are causes or effects of FMS. Stress and difficulty sleeping may contribute to FMS because lack of restful sleep can decrease the body's production of the chemicals needed to regulate pain. Other factors (such as illness, infection or anxiety) may also cause changes in body chemistry that lead to these symptoms. The signs of FMS include aches and pains in muscles, tendons and joints all over the body, but especially along the spine. Some people feel more pain when they try to relax and less when they are active, busy or exercising. Other symptoms include: 1. Disturbed sleep 2. Depression 3. Daytime tiredness 4. Headaches 5. Alternating diarrhea and constipation 6. Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet 7. Feelings of weakness 8. Memory difficulties 9. Dizziness One characteristic of FMS is the presence of multiple tender points. This refers to specific points in the neck, spine, shoulders and hips that feel tender.
However, about mid-way into my second month dramatic benefits became consistent. I was able to stop taking 3 meds (for sleep, muscle tension and regularity) that I had been on for 8 years. Goji juice provides me with deep sleep, stamina, energy, less neuropathy due to increased circulation in my legs, elimination of night sweats, regularity and less pain. My memory has improved and I’ve added two more hours to my day. When previously on a prescription for sleep help, I awakened late and groggy." Another person reports, "I have had Fibromyalgia for many years now. I have tried so many natural and prescription remedies, but to no avail. Along with Fibromyalgia, I have the following so many other disorders that it's a wonder that I was even able to get out of bed, let alone the house! I was using a cane and on 15 different medications. The pain was very severe. In fact, 5 of those medications were just for pain. My whole life was just surviving the pain! When I was first introduced to the Goji juice, I was skeptical. But as I read the science behind Goji, I just had to try it. I am so thankful that I did! I am a brand new person! Within a couple of days of drinking the Goji Juice, I reduced my pain medication. Within about 2 weeks, I retired that cane. Now, I am virtually pain free, off of the cane, full of energy, and yes, I even sleep through the night!" Another writes, "I feel that I've had fibromyalgia for most of my adult life. I’ve had all of the classic symptoms and then some, including incessant pain and aching throughout my entire body, physical exhaustion, IBS, lack of balance, anxiety, attention deficit, recurring hives and skin irritations, rhinitis and with all of that, who wouldn't be... you guessed it..... depressed. For many years I was tested and treated for several conditions and saturated with prescription drugs, many of which caused other medical conditions including erosive gastritis and hiatal hernia. About 10 years ago, my current Doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and although I finally had a name for the condition that most matched all my symptoms, I was still on many prescription drugs. They did little to relieve the pain and I was always in a mental fog. Within days of drinking goji, I felt a considerable improvement. And, the longer I drank it, the better I felt. I've also started taking some other nutritional supplements along with the goji. I feel physically better now than I did 20 years ago and I'm excited to be able to look forward to life instead of dreading the next miserable, pain-filled day. I have gradually eliminated the use of all prescription drugs.....today I am drug free!"
I got a bottle of goji about a month ago and I could not believe it. I had so much energy that I cleaned my house for 3 days and amazingly I was not in pain the day after. I felt an overall satisfied feeling. I started to walk. In the past, I had only been able to make it to the mail box which is only 2 doors down from where I live and the first time I walked, I made it down the end of the street. Now I am able to walk a mile and have the feeling like I could do more if I wanted. My whole life has changed. I have lost 10 pounds." Two people get benefits, "My young 8-year-old son and I began to drink goji about a year ago. I suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis of the spine, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and narcolepsy. Within only a few weeks of drinking goji, I haven’t had any of the following symptoms: no sleeping seizures, no spasms or tremors of the hands, legs or arms, and no IBS symptoms whatsoever. I have been able to go back to work full time because goji has eliminated my previous symptoms. I am off all but one the prescription medications I used to have to take. As for my son, that is an even more remarkable story. We used to call him "Mr. Picky" about his food, not realizing it was food allergies that made him not want to eat. Since drinking goji, he seems to have lost his food sensitivities, the dark circles under his eyes have disappeared, and he’s eating everything at last. And he is in a serious growth spurt that has shot him up about 3 inches over this past year of drinking goji. For my son alone, I could not ask for a better solution to health." Another person writes, "I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, psoriasis and a few other things. I was told in 1995 I was going to be on disability. I got to the point where it was just unbearable. I would wake up at night with tears in my eyes from pain. I was on prescription drugs at that time. When I started drinking the goji I was calmer in four days and things were working better. I wasn’t turning all night. I slept until 5:00 AM and it kept increasing every day. My fibromyalgia has pretty much disappeared! Two weeks ago my husband and I moved and we did it ourselves. Never, never could I have done that before drinking the Goji juice. " Now I can baby sit, "When I first got fibromyalgia I was so sick I could hardly move from the couch to the kitchen. I didn’t have the energy. My husband had to fix the meals, vacuum and all the housework. The medication I was taking made it some better. When I heard about goji and began drinking it, it took about 3 months before I saw results, but I'm glad I stuck with it! Now I’m like a new person. In fact, now I’m able to baby-sit my 6-month-old granddaughter when my daughter has to work at the hospital. Before the goji I could never have taken care of the baby. I’m just getting stronger and stronger every day. I’m also off of my medication."
I am ready to travel after Goji, "After drinking goji for only a few days, my chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia symptoms are almost completely gone. I have more energy and sleep better. I took a trip, came back home, unloaded the car, cleaned the house and still had energy to spare. I’ve tried other natural remedies, but goji "turned the key" for me." "I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia as a result of an auto accident over 15 years ago. I suffered chronic headaches, debilitating fatigue, and all the aches and pains that go along with this condition. I tried every modality you can imagine to get some relief. I tried acupuncture, hypnosis, tranquilizers, painkillers, physical therapy, biofeedback, chiropractic treatments, etc. At one point, they even pumped music through my body! I had resigned myself to adjusting my life around the problem." "I was introduced to goji and thought that if it gave me a little more energy, I would be grateful. I could not have imagined that within two months it would totally eradicate every symptom! I now sleep like a baby and the headaches, aches and pains are gone! I am back to my old self again and better than ever. It is amazing!!"
