Well...here's my 3.5 cents worth...

1. Write down your goals, clearly and affirmatively, lovingly.

2. Start a 'hit & miss' list or rating scale based on physical and psychological/emotional response. Evaluate and listen to your body. I know that certain foods are psychological triggers for you as well.

3. Experiment. Be patient. Laugh lots! Read/research. What is alkalizing for some might be quite acidifying for another and vice versa! Inner ecology--LOL! It's the difference between feeling like a cesspool and Swan Lake.
Also, there are variations to be considered for hormones, moods and well...stuff!

4. Keep it simple. Breathe. Journal. Meditate. Do some gentle exercise.

5. Considering that we have matching prescriptions, I know that sometimes we have really barfy, nauseated days and D days. So...be flexible.

I'll comb my brain some more. Considering your fibro some more protein might be helpful. It sounds as though you're not making enough tryptophan, as well. (clue: nuts, dairy indulgence)
