How Much Has Food Sensitivities Entered Into Your Condition?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My new doctor prescribed a food sensitivity test. He said that eating foods that my body has a reactionary response to could cause headaches and pain all over. I just got the results back a few days ago. So now I have something specific to do to help. I have a lot of hope. Wonder if you all have tried this, and to what degree did it help your symptoms?
