Fibromyalgia Treatment - using moist heat, trigger point therapy and stretching for episodes of acute pain. I've probably had fibromyalgia to some degree my whole life, though for most of my life I didn't know it. The problem is that when you are born with a condition like that, you don't know anything different. You don't know what it is like to be "normal". I knew I was always going to see different doctors. I was very easily injured. I liked to exercise and enjoyed sports, but I seemed to get sore or injured from everything I tried. After I was married, I noticed over time that my husband's medical file was paper thin, while mine would always be a couple of inches thick with records from doctor's visits and insurance claims. When I was in my late thirties, after having two children, my pain and injury problems increased dramatically. This was the first time I was technically diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I'd never heard of the condition before. I also had problems with:

Extractions: by Andrew Hall Cutler, PhD, PE What is in the book Back cover copy Problems mercury can cause Diseases mercury can cause ... How to order the book A wide variety of debilitating and supposedly incurable conditions may actually be due to chronic mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning can be easily cured if it is recognized. These conditions are seldom cured because mercury poisoning is believed to be rare. It is not. It is quite common. Thus, many people suffer needlessly. Many of today's "mystery syndromes" that physicians don't know how to treat at all - fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anorexia, recurrent depression - aren't mystery syndromes. They are just mercury poisoning. Treating them as mercury poisoning cures them, while the usual treatments are seldom effective in the long term. This book gives practical guidance on how to tell if you really have chronic mercury poisoning or some other problem. If mercury poisoning is your problem, the book tells you how to get the mercury out of your body, and how to feel good while you do that. Sections also explain how the scientific literature shows many people must be getting poisoned by their amalgam fillings, why such a regulatory blunder occurred, and how the debate between "mainstream" and "alternative" medicine makes it more difficult for you to get the medical help you need.
Fibromyalgia fibromyalgia (also called fibrositis or fibromyositis) is a syndrome of unknown The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is pain, both pain experienced in http://www.reutershealth.com/wellconnected/doc76.html
Extractions: Pain. The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is pain, both pain experienced in certain precise locations called tender points and generalized pain [ See Box Criteria for Classifying Fibromyalgia]. The pain of fibromyalgia is often is described as follows: Tender point pain occurs in local sites (tender points), usually in the neck and shoulders, and then radiates out. It occurs specifically in areas where the muscles attach to bone or ligaments. (The joints themselves are not affected, however, so they are not deformed nor do they deteriorate as they may in arthritic conditions.) There are no lumps or nodes associated with these points and no signs of inflammation (swelling, redness, heat). The experience of widespread pain is similar to that of arthritis and has been described as stiffness, burning, radiating, and aching. Most patients report feeling some pain all the time, and many describe it as "exhausting." The pain can vary, depending on the time of day, weather changes, physical activity, and the presence of stressful situations. The pain is often more intense after disturbed sleep. Fatigue and Sleep Disturbances.

Extractions: Revised: June 2004 Questions and Answers About Fibromyalgia Table of Contents Information Box What Is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue ( fibro ) and the Greek ones for muscle ( myo ) and pain ( algia Although fibromyalgia is often considered an arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues.

Extractions: Those in good health cannot possibly understand the ordeals of chronic illness. They may be supportive or skeptical; they may come closer or back away. Our careers may continue, or come to a screeching halt. Nothing can be planned with certainty. Fluctuating symptoms turn every yes into maybe or I hope so. The coping mechanisms that once worked so well no longer apply. The things we had counted on in life become dreams rather than expectations.
