Suffered for 18 years with pain. Diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, had back surgery, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibrymyalgia, blah-blah-blah, just got worse and worse. Will share what has worked for me. Diet of fruits and vegetables only. No dairy. Chronic pain is gone. Each day is wonderful to wake up feeling good. I'm 62 years old and 5 years ago could not walk 15 minutes at a slow pace, was in pain every day. In the fall of 2004, I changed my diet and lifestyle totally following this plan: http://www.drmcdougall.com/ I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Today, my neighbor constantly says, "I've never seen anyone work like you do." I shovel dirt, load stones in my little wagon to border beds, use weedeater and edger, etc., at least 5 hours every day. I take absolutely zero prescription medications.

For those times when overdoing my gardening activities causes soreness and shoulder pain, etc., I use Egoscue positional stretching routine. Absolutely amazing how it stops the pain. Like giving yourself a chiropractic adjustment. Nothing strenuous. http://www.egoscue.com. I bought the Pain Free book on Amazon pretty cheap.

I am in no way employed or connected to these organizations. Hope this helps someone because I know what it is like to absolutely want to get out of your body that's racked with pain.
