[@doje2178]

Something I would be interested hearing you talk about is Mind/body connection (Liimbic System Rewire/Neuroplasticity) in regards to fibro symptoms. Also, information on food sensitivities/diet.

[@muratkara5016]

Exactly tms folks are very bold about FM is always mind body syndrome (dr sarno)

Tips on insomnia busting

[@Gertrude1536]

Hi ladies, I purchased a buckwheat hull pillow, not cheap at £45 but I thought if I added up all of the money I’ve spent on pillows, it would probably run into hundreds of pounds over the years, I laid my head on it and fell instantly in love with it, my god what a game changer for sure. You’re both heaven sent! Love you ladies. 🥰👌

[@thefibroshow]

yay!!!!

[@mollysmith7191]

Thank you for these videos. Information on gut & fibro connection (if there is a connection) would be very helpful.

[@peggydunn2696]

All great gift suggestions. I also love my foam rollers, massage chair cushion, and my red light therapy wrap.

[@sun_yu_lu]

thank you for these videos! could you do a video in the future about the lesser known symptoms of fibro? since i've been diagnosed, i keep realizing certain behaviors that i've adapted to that i started doing because of fibro. when sharon mentioned dry eyes, it made me think of that!

[@thefibroshow]

Yes! Great idea

[@j.draper4106]

I’m in Ontario Canada and our public libraries offer free audiobooks with a library card. You don’t have to pay.

[@PoonHandler]

A Silk pillowcase is a game changer for sleep too....not as expensive as you'd think

[@thefibroshow]

Ooh that sounds luxurious!

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

I must try one, it may help my itching scalp. I also use a hot water bottle on my neck and knees.

[@PoonHandler]

@@WendyHannan-pt7ez I too had itchy scalp, go see a Trichologist. Was prescribed 'Tony Maleedy Juniper Shampoo', has worked like a miracle.

[@Gertrude1536]

Thanks for the tip! 👌

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

I watch and listen to heaps of people talking on fibromyalgia, I find it really interesting listening to Drs with fibromyalgia, as they really know and understand our pain. Its also helpful hearing Sharon, she has a wealth of knowledge as she too has fibromyalgia. Thank you both. 🙏

[@darcypalmer7783]

All great items. One thing that has been a game changer with my frequency of headaches is the night mouth guard that I got recently from my dentist. It's so great to not have a headache every day! Thank you for your show. Also, I got the Fibro Manual earlier this year and have tried so many things in there. It's the best info I've come across for fibro. You mentioned dry eyes. Please talk about that someday.

[@amandafoxton6463]

Great tips will have to save for these! I don’t know anyone so will have to buy for myself. Thank you so much. 😊

[@oliviamaria2010]

Happy holidays for both of you 😊 See you in 2025! The biggest topics for me are: exercice, food, stress related with toxic people (stop contact with them) and reduce or stop working and have less (money, travel...) Thank you for your time talking about this things, sometimes it feels very lonly. ❤

[@thefibroshow]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@erinnswan7063]

Warm socks, new night owns or pj. Heating pad, I pretty much housebound and only get out for doctors and grocery shopping when I can. Instaccart subscription for grocery delivery is also a good gift. Love the Audible as I love reading. Will be looking into the buckwheat and the neck pressure device. I have extreme head and neck issues. Thank you for the ideas.

[@bebebo6257]

I love using my neck massager I bought on Amazon. It looks like a cradle for the neck with fingers. You can strap it around the chest. You don't have to hold it, and you get a mini massage. Under $50

[@TheVernDude]

Who doesn't love the feel of a good paperback book in their hands? Appreciate what you both are doing and enjoy the new show!

[@thefibroshow]

Right?!?! Glad you are enjoying the show 💜

[@jackieharold7630]

Could you maybe go into how fibro is different in men and women? Specially how it affects women around their periods, perimenopause, menopause?

[@thefibroshow]

Definitely going to cover those topics!

[@amandafoxton6463]

All information is great. I am sure I have chronic fatigue syndrome as there are many days that I literally cannot keep my eyes open. Hopefully the buckwheat hull pillow will help me to sleep I average about 3/4 hours per week. 😊

[@kmorgan1047]

Love these gift ideas!

[@phoenixing]

I love these ideas thank you! I also benefit from using SHAKTI acupuncture mat and pillow for deep relaxation and gentle pressure release during flares (traditional acupuncture doesn't really benefit me as it causes intense flare ups). A rubber ball massaging the soles of my feet helps after walking. My occipital neuralgia is one of the worst aspects of my fibro and I've tried a hundred pillows but will definitely look into the buck Wheat thanks so much ladies for your channel and support! ❤❤

[@thefibroshow]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@elisabethn7962]

The best thing I bought for myself is a tens unit on Amazon

[@lorianthony4892]

Thanks ladies!! I am excited to see these videos. I have been a follower of Dr Givnevra for about 6 years!

[@amymiller5860]

Just finding Dr. Liptan and the fibromanuel. Keep it coming, ladies. It is great to have you on my "team." Like someone else mentioned, dry eyes makes me crazy. Any tips?

[@thefibroshow]

Dry eyes are challenging indeed! Some patients report benefit with Omega-3 fatty acids.

[@lisanoble7949]

I’m enjoying your new show very much! Thank you, ladies for the inspiration and information. Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year. 🎉❤

[@thefibroshow]

Happy holidays! So glad you are enjoying our show!!! See you in the New Years

[@Crazyleigs]

Why is fibro pain so severe in the jaw, neck, back area?

[@thefibroshow]

Great question! Those areas tend to be where we hold the most myofascial tension, like our body is trying to make a protective suit or armor around us and choosing those places to really clench down.

[@Crazyleigs]

@@thefibroshow What do you suggest is best to ease the pain in those areas?

[@kathyhart2309]

Thanks for the gift suggestions! Any chance you could speak on vagus nerve disfunction/degeneration, and Prolotherapy? I have been having heart arrhythmias off and on for over 2 years (besides a BUNCH of other issues.) Had an entire heart work up. Praise the Lord, heart checked out fine. And now I have had about 4-5 practioners suggest vagus nerve issues. Just hearing about upper cervical disregulation/vagus nerve issues and Prolotherapy.

[@robbpowell194]

Very Helpful. Fibro Manual on Audible? Yes Please

[@kimbo500]

YES!! I said the same thing years ago....this is great that other's are getting on board and speaking up!! 👍 I purchased mine many years ago, and haven't been able to read it. Maybe one day!! 💕

[@Gertrude1536]

Happy holidays ladies and a big thanks from south west England! ❤

[@kellip5747]

That neck heating pad looks so comfy! I was also intrigued by the craniocradle until I found out shipping to my country would be $102.55. 😂💀 Maybe I can find an alternative somewhere, because back of my head is one of the worst areas for me.

[@thefibroshow]

OMG that shipping cost is ridiculous! Hopefully you can find some local alternatives.

[@jolenebauser408]

Merry Christmas! Wishing you both a wonderful holiday!

[@kevingarner-b2f]

Will there be an episode advocating for clewn eating, exercise and less stress? You mention the exercise word and people with fibro jump, saying it's not possible, it absolutely is you just need to work out what you can do and be consistent. Avoid gluten take magnesium, vitamins and give yourself a fighting CHANCE.

[@jolenebauser408]

Are yiu saying Fibro jump? If so I e not heard of that aspect, what is that exactly?

[@kevingarner-b2f]

I meant most people with fibro look at you with distain when you mention exercise, they say I can’t possibly. I realise some of us suffer more than others but exercise is one of the key aspects of getting your strength and mobility back. I run a support group abs we have zoom meetings every week but nobody wants to talk about exercise?

[@jolenebauser408]

@ I don’t exercise much aside from walking my dog. I also have a lot of back issues that prevent me from doing so. Even before the back issues started I had a very difficult time with exercise. It just wasn’t something I could handle.

[@kevingarner-b2f]

@@jolenebauser408 i would be really interested to hear your story? Would you possibly join one of our zoom meetings one evening as a speaker?

[@kimbo500]

Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks very much for these ideas/gifts! I have to say, Audible has been great for me. It's such a relief to know I'm not alone. I absolutely can't read anymore. Articles, and even recipes are really rough. UGH!!! I wanted to ask a question for anyone if I may. I'm having open heart surgery in a couple weeks, have had fibroid and RA since 2007, as well as a 3 level spinal fusion. I'm not supposed to lay on my back; however, will be on my back for about 5 hours during surgery. I'm going to mention this to my doctors, and ask if they can even put a pillow under my knees. I wouldn't be surprised if I will have back pain after surgery - and just wondering if anyone has any tips for my post op time? Thanks in advance! 💜

[@lauriegoral4714]

Wondering if hair loss might be discussed at some point?

[@thefibroshow]

Yes absolutely . Dr. G: hair loss falls into the less frequently discussed fibro symptoms
