12/4/23 I took in a friend's 2 children, ages 2 & 10 to keep them out of foster care. A few days later I went into a full blown flare up. Due to appointment with case workers, I couldn't stay in bed not to mention the baby wanted my attention. My husband, 20 year old daughter and another friend was there to help.

I can no longer take anti-inflammatory drugs, after 17 years my kidneys have said "no more!" . So, I was forced to change my diet in order to keep my kidneys as healthy as possible.

C. Heavy fruits and vegetables
D. Nuts, some whole grains: farrow, lintels, quinoa, chia seeds
E. Very little… read more

So the fibromyalgia diet hasn't changed my symptoms at all. I've been on it for 6 months. My dr wants me to try the low carb diet. Less than 20 carbs per day. Has anyone tried the low carb diet? Did it help your symptoms?
