DOES NUTRITION PLAY A ROLE IN FIBROMYALGIA?
"Some patients have noticed that certain foods may trigger fibromyalgia symptoms
much as they may migraines. Some have found that a diet low in fats, fried foods,
and simple sugars helps. If you suspect that some food makes you worse, try
avoiding it and see if that makes a difference.
Patients with fibromyalgia should probably give up caffeine completely. Even one cup
in the morning can sometimes disrupt sleep at night and may directly increase muscle
pain and headaches. If you are drinking more than a cup a day you should taper
yourself off caffeine-containing beverages over two weeks or so to prevent
headaches and other withdrawal symptoms."
