fibro chocolate

thank you jenna................i love you...............

but.............

alright, for those who have noticed, i was a little obsessed with this subject.........recently, my dear friend (check out her blog, http://naturallynerds.blogspot.com/ ) found me these articles........

http://chronicfatigue.about.com/b/a/256023.htm
and
https://secure.endfatigue.com/tools-support/Chocolate-For-Cfs-And-Fibromyalgia.html

these basically state that a study was recently done, showing that dark chocolate can help reduce the signs and syptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.........
in the study, participants ate 45mg of dark chocolate (very dark, 85% or higher) for 8 weeks........and it reduced the fatigue.

personally, i'm not sure how they did this. my dear and i figured that we'd try it, he's desperate to at least try things that will make me feel better.........so we went out, bought two different kinds of really dark chocolate, high quality stuff (cote d'or and lindt, to be precise)........each bar was 100mg..............so i read the study results, and figured that half a bar would be about right.
gods, that stuff is nasty! i won't be trying this cure........i ate a section of chocolate bar, and it made my tummy upset............stupid IBS...............i'll prolly be baking with the leftover choc, he won't even eat it, it's so bitter............

if you like uber-dark choco, have fun............for me, i'll keep looking............
good luck!!
