A friend said he has a diet that doesn't have the nightshade veggies in it and he says he feels better I'm going to cut them out of mine and see if it will help me

Well, I love veggies so I will have to see which ones are considered nightshade.

I had to look it up ,very tolerable

@oregongirl It took me a while to figure out that things in the Nightshade family were the cause of increased pain. I love my veggies too, but not enough to eat things in the Nightshade family. Goob-bye tomatoes and peppers 🙁

@lioness ssI hope this helps your pain improve. Worth the try.

Parus, I know, I don't like peppers but I love tomatoes. I guess if it really will help me, I will give them up. Interesting how a disease that people say is in our mind (at times) can come up with things to not eat to reduce our pain and the infusions and weekly shots. What are they, FAKE?

I,'ll let you, will one thing hard to give up is tomatoes ,hmmm

@oregongirl It is worth a try. Others not experiencing chronic pain cannot grasp the concept therefore they are prone to question.
A question for you. Do you have neuropathy with fibro? I rarely mention fibro as I do not care for the eye roll thing and being pooh-poohed. Also have other health issues which exacerbate the depression etc. Sounding like a whiner and not something I like when I do so. Two full moons in one month so a double whammy as this does affect my pain. I have stated thus at times only to be laughed at. Maybe it is all in my head after all? I tried telling myself this and it did not work. You can do all of things you once did. Know something? This approach did not work either. Thankful for being wireless so I can have some form of social life. I tell myself this is pathetic. Sitting upright and typing can even increase the pain. Finally was able to get the modem/router for this.
Okay enough of my complaining-for now. Just because my brain wants to do something does not mean my body can. Have to keep trying as do want to end up in a nursing home. Perish the thought.

@oregongirl and @parus, and others: here’s an article on nightshades. Tomatoes and potatoes I’ll grieve the loss of the most. https://www.livestrong.com/article/265055-list-of-foods-for-those-allergic-to-nightshade/

I had neuropathy in my arms,hands not my feet but I have always reserched topics,since I'm a retired nurse and this is my interest. As I've said before taking 1000 mg of the right kind of magnesium @ calcium has helped me tremendously also I sleep with a small pillow ,that way my nerves aren't pinched in my neck.When neuropathy I found a cream that helped Me,Toprison cream Its a Homeopathic cream.I like the homeopathic items and essential oils.
