Years ago, after much suffering, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Even though I was a nurse, I suffered along with everyone else I knew that those diagnosed with it and tried several natural methods for pain relief. But by a huge stroke of luck I cure myself! I no longer suffer from Fibromyalgia and many years have now passed.
Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyositis and fibrositis, is a condition that long-term pain throughout the body and in the tender points (not trigger points) in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Patients can also fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety, which may or may not be caused by all the symptoms they have.
Fibromyalgia may also be combined with other disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Although the cause of this disorder is unknown, there are all kinds of expert guesses to the cause including physical or emotional trauma that can have a role in the development and abnormal pain transmission responses.
It has his theory that sleep disorders in fibromyalgia patients, can actually lead to the condition or that maybe that cause patients is awake. In my case, I would wake up for two hours between 2 pm and 4 pm every night and wake up.
This disturbance wreaked havoc with my daily activities, because I don't think my endorphins are well get released. The endorphins release to recover the body and healing happens around 2 a.m.
Another of the theories is that the disorder occurs with changes in skeletal muscle metabolism, which can be caused by an impaired blood flow causing chronic fatigue and weakness similar to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Other experts have guessed that it might be a virus that Fibromyalgia has initiated, or even that it is inherited. But I do not believe that one of those.
Although women and men are diagnosed with fibromyalgia is more common among women especially in the 20 to 50 years old age group.
Fibromyalgia pain can sometimes be confused with arthritis pain. But it need the deformation of the joints, as seen in arthritis.
The pain can be described as deep-aching pain, best as I was, or radiates, burning or shooting pain and can sometimes serious. The pain can be present during the night when a wake up or during the day to various degrees. This pain can drive people to find a variety of methods, treatments and therapies to try to get pain usually with no pain relief.
Pain can but better or worse during the day. As a mild generalized pain throughout the body I noticed serious pain in specific areas such as my quadriceps muscle that I used while driving long distance driving impossible. My upper arm would be so bad that I thought I would throat that about pain.
People complain of back pain, lower back pain, chest pain, muscle pain, joint pain, etc. And usually try pain medication and various other pain pills that don't work.
Your doctor can diagnose Fibromyalgia by pressing your tender points.
The doctor will want to know how long you have the widespread its enduring pain and/or pain and tenderness in forced more of the 18 points registration. If it is already more than three months it would be considered chronic and would help the diagnosis. The tender points are located in fibrous tissue or muscles of the neck, shoulder, rib cage, chest, thighs, knees, lower back, arms, and buttocks.
When the doctor on these points they can or can not hurt. So it is fairly easy to diagnose except that the physician to determine whether there is another disease that causes your pain. So he/she some other tests from infections, thyroid problems, rheumatoid arthritis, sleep disorders, cancer and other conditions can do to close.
In addition to sleep problems, muscle aches or joint pain or general body aches and fatigue, facial muscle pain or pain. And a reduction of the exercise is common. I found it hard to walk more than 20 minutes at a time without severe pain and fatigue.
Fibromyalgia is a common problem for many years. Back pain In some patients the symptoms may get better than from the air.
I suffered with fibromyalgia and arthritis and many other ailments and sought relief from pain until I changed my diet due to breast cancer, which of course I healed. Changing my diet is the key to getting rid of fibromyalgia and many years later I still do not more suffering.
