Discover a structured Fibromyalgia protocol to manage symptoms effectively, including treatment plans, therapies, and lifestyle strategies for improved quality of life.
Did you know that fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome requires an additional and separate protocol for exercise? If you have both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, then you may need to learn how to balance exercise and rest in a more specific way in order to avoid exacerbating pain levels, fatigue and increase of all symptoms. The important point here is to create balance. People with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Myalgic Enchephalomyelitis) can have a…
On our “mind-body science” page we explain that fibromyalgia and anxiety symptoms naturally coexist because of the human pain response reflex; however, there is another very common source of fibromyalgia related anxiety symptoms that is overlooked by many doctors. When we are living with fibromyalgia, we tend to be highly sensitive and vulnerable to the world around us. When we have a condition such as fibromyalgia that exhibits multiple symptoms, it can be too easy…
We are constantly surrounded by Endocrine Disruptors in the environment today. Endocrine Disruptors are toxic substances in our food, environment AND home and body products that adversely affect our liver, thyroid, adrenals, and every organ of the body. ED’s also create a disturbance in the fibro body’s ability to properly cleanse and regenerate. The problem is that all of this disruption creates imbalance especially when living with a chronic illness. These disruptors can greatly exacerbate…
After suffering since the young age of 9 with hyper-chemical sensitivity to environmental toxins, I do believe that I and others with (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivity are like “toxin detectives“. For instance, during outdoor activities or simply outside in my own yard, I sometimes have to ‘change course’ because the exposure to dryer sheet toxins or synthetic laundry fragrances wafting from a neighbors laundry vents can make me ill. And because I also have severe…
I get it. The holidays can bring a mix of emotions, especially when we are living with a chronic illness. There are so many unrealistic images and expectations during Christmas and the holiday season, that it can be really overwhelming. If you are physically alone, sad, or in pain during this holiday season, you are actually not alone. With fibromyalgia, we have additional challenges this time of year from seasonal changes, colder weather, the potential…
Have you ever considered how trauma or memory in your parents or grandparents could affect you? What if you are living with a chronic illness and trauma is one piece of your mind-body component? You often hear me say how everything we are exposed to and influenced by matters, but what about when we were young, and we didn’t have a say in the matter? We were “exposed” to things just by being born, just…
Most people with fibromyalgia experience different types of pain sensations. I have listed below some of the most common pain sensations. I must say something first. Recently I was having a conversation with my husband and he said something that amazed me…He said that one of the most common adjectives that I use to describe my own pain is “pulsating” (yes that is very true, and he really does listen) The symptoms of fibromyalgia can…
With constant exposure to stimulants in our environment, people with fibromyalgia need to practice a natural therapy I call “intentional grounding”. Due to the fact that some people living with fibromyalgia cannot always travel in the same way as a non-fibro person (due to severity of symptoms) this becomes even more essential. No, it’s not just for football anymore!!Intentional grounding means getting out and away from all of our modern day devices and conveniences and getting…
We need to start employing more fibromyalgia natural treatments if we are to be ‘living smarter’. Conventional ways of dealing with fibromyalgia have obviously not worked so well for most people. Drugs, pain relievers, topicals. All of these are merely putting a band-aid over the problem and not addressing the ROOT issues. Fibromyalgia Natural Treatment Addresses Toxicity And Deficiency As we learn in Holistic Medicine, the two aggravating factors in the disease model are Toxicity and Deficiency. This goes for Fibromyalgia…
Living with fibromyalgia requires that we adhere to our body clock. The body clock is the internal rhythm that supports our daily functions. Why is adhering to our body clock so important? Because when we do, we naturally support the many systems in the body that correlate with fibromyalgia, especially the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Optimal health in these systems can at least decrease symptoms, inflammation and levels of pain. HGH or Human Growth Hormone…
