Did you get a diagnosis of Costo? Are you experiencing debilitating pain around your chest area?

I was diagnosed with this over 5 years ago. It was so bad I thought about going on disability. The allopathic doctors just gave me more and more pain meds. I could barely move...I couldn't think because of being dosed all the time. I took every pain med you can think of...and then Gabopentin (anti-seizure) because it was off label...The damn doctors finally were sick of me asking them to do something. It wasn't until a doctor told me that I should have my gallbladder out, not because anything was wrong with it (MRI and Ultrasound) but because he didn't know what else to do, and basically they were tired of me bitching about it.

That was when I found curezone.

A year prior I had shingles in the same area. I thought maybe I'd gotten some neurological damage. But the doctors insisted that this was impossible, and that Costochondritis is not chronic. I was offered anti-psychotic meds. I know for a fact that there are many on the internet that have had this condition for years.

I swear, after my 2nd liver flush, and my colon cleansing it went away. That is why I have become such a devotee to Curezone. For 2 years I've been pain free.

I have read that this can be caused from bracing, you know the "fight or flight" response. As humans we have learned to suppress these feelings and internalize it. I have been dealing with some stress lately, but nothing that would cause me to do the bracing. The only thing I did different was MH's kidney tonic.

I know that it is a result of something amiss in the body. Something to cause inflammation. Costochondritis traditionally is a diagnosis of exclusion in the allopathic field. When all other tests comes out clean...

I have thought maybe fibromyalgia. I've read about arthritis, and that makes sense too. But why has it been hiding for 2 years? It's been very cold here lately....hmmmm.

I haven't taken an over the counter drug for years now, but have been forced to take Ibuprofen. This is extremely frustrating. I was hoping that possibly I was having some reaction to the kidney tonic. I was wondering if anyone else had any reactions to it??

I drink tons of water. I get my BMI taken once a week, and I show pretty high on my hydration.

Damn. This is frustrating. I almost couldn't make a bunch of photocopies at work the other day (I was on an audit, and at a clients place of business, and it had to be done, right there, right then). I was squeaking in pain.

I'm sorry to vent like this, but I am at a loss. I have the week off and I have accupunture, chiropracter and a colonic scheduled. I figured I'd do a liver flush too. I don't want to go back to work next week disabled!
