Fibromyalgia

You can’t sleep. You can’t move. You can’t think straight and you hurt all over. But when you ask your doctor for help, he just might tell you it’s “all in your head.”

Don’t you wish. All you know is that you’ve felt bad for a long, long time. And you want it to stop.

Fibromyalgia — The Hidden Epidemic

Though surprisingly many doctors deny the existence of Fibromyalgia, its victims number in the millions. Most sufferers are women. Fibromyalgia often appears in a cluster of other conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, skin disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is most common in women between twenty and fifty years old. The disease manifests differently in each patient, which makes both diagnosis and treatment challenging. Some of the more common symptoms of Fibromyalgia are:

• Chronic, widespread pain lasting more than three months
• Inability to sleep
• Palpitations
• Fatigue
• Tenderness upon physical pressure
• Muscle spasms
• Fuzzy thinking, a/k/a "Fibro fog"
• Bowel disturbances
• Chronic infections and inflammation
• Shortened attention span
• Anxiety
• Weight gain
• Hypersensitivity to changes in temperature
• Depression
• Headaches
• Memory problems

Treatment of Fibromyalgia

Relief from Fibromyalgia is best achieved with a broad approach that addresses sleep and pain issues as well as the fundamental hormonal disruptions of the condition. In particular, impressive symptomatic improvement can be gained when the multiple endocrine deficiencies of the condition are addressed. Hormones that are typically imbalanced in cases of Fibromyalgia include low cortisol, poor thyroid function, adrenal insufficiency, low growth hormone, low testosterone, and improper levels of DHEA, progesterone, pregnenolone and others.
