Anyone with Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia or Hypothyroidism tried Keto?

The results that you have gotten from this diet sounds amazing!
I struggle with fibromyalgia and am thinking of going on the diet for fibromyalgia that eliminates sugar and dairy.
Do you have the web site that you used for the keto diet?
Thank you

It's much easier to follow a keto diet now, or even a paleo diet because many products are available on the shelf now that substitute for starches. I follow both because I have had spinal and SI joint fusions on top of fibromyalgia for 20 years and my exercise ability us limited. I lost about 10% of my weight, not enough, but at least I'm not gaining anymore. I make a lot of dishes with cabbage and mushrooms with hamburger or chicken for a low carb dish
I found so much conflicting information online when I started to research, I just asked my doctor what he recommended since he was already aware of all my health conditions. To start, he suggested limited my combined daily carb and sugar intake to 60 grams max, and that’s all I have done to date. I am now started to incorporate 10 min. of yoga as my daily exercise, hoping it will help improve mobility and decrease my joint pain enough where I can start walking short distances.
Surprisingly after the fact, I did find some good Keto basics on WebMD, which also advised asking your doctor what works best for you. Here’s the link: http://related.webmd.com/search.cfm-keto-diet-for-beginners
