Hello everyone my name is Janice. I am back from my short holiday, and our computer is now operative.

I am 55 years of age and have suffered from Fibromyalgia for over seven years. Before that time, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue.

Fibromyalgia was my main concern due to the severity of its symptoms. Symptoms such as: pain to the point I could not be touched, digestive complication in the colon and lower intestine area. I was sensitive to temperature changes (always cold, and the cold seemed to bring on attacks). My eyes were always tired and could not focus. Swelling of the body to such a degree that I would enlarge 1/3 my usual size. Muscle spasms which kept me awake at nights. Does this all sound too familiar?

The above conditions stopped my normal life. One of the most contributing factors was stress. I know life is stressful, however, try to reduce any unnecessary stressful situations.

I spent years with doctors and clinics both here in the US and in England. No one really had an answer for me other than - "live with it the best you can". I felt that wasn't good enough.

I then turned to Alternative Medicine - Herbal medicine and Accupunture. This helped up to a point - but I needed more. My bad days were more than my goods days. I wanted it the other way around. I read about Jim Clements' program in the newspaper and decided to contact him concerning his research.

I met Jim in his office and he explained the entire program - it sounded like an answer.

I began the programme in the summer of last year. I understand many feel it is expensive, however, it is less expensive than Western drugs (which we all know do not have an answer for us). I spent thousands of dollars and wasted my time on dead ends. To date, my condition has greatly improved inasmuch as I have more good days rather than bad.

Unfortunately, there is at present no cure for Fibro. However, I believe Jim's program is the answer we are all looking for. My pain has been reduced, muscle spams are at a minium, digestive system much improved, swelling is not as severe. I think this is great progress. I am more active - I play golf, I can drive again, do most of my own housework and generally enjoy living.

There is no definite answer for all of us who suffer from fibro - I testify to you, THMI is the nearest thing to an answer that can be had.

Good luck to all of you. Please ask me any questions.

Janice
