Explore the conditions associated with Fibromyalgia, their symptoms, and how to manage them for improved well-being.
I have Fibromyalgia. My father drank heavily in the 1960s and both my parents smoked tobacco when I was conceived. As a child, I frequently had strep throat, bronchitis, and even pneumonia. Even at 2 two years old I remember being inside the incubator seeing the outline of my Mom and my uncle who came in to visit. My teeth are stained from taking the antibiotic, Tetracycline as a young child. As I understand it…
You know this is the craziest thing I am going to talk about now… I’m not sure what the percentage is, but I can tell you that I spent years taking Adderall for ADHD and then had to stop taking it when I got pregnant. During the hiatus from that medication, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. After unsuccessful attempts at treating it with many of the same methods you mentioned, I decided that I was…
Get your genes mapped. If you have either fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue it is probably most likely due to “Soft Tissue Calcification” which is caused by the body not excreting enough sulfur and phosphorus, which is caused by having genetic mutations like CBS 699 and SUOX mutations. The treatment for these mutations right now is to eat a diet that is very low in sulfur and phosphorus and calcium and vitamin D because these will…
Medical professionals roll their eyes at the thought of them. I am interested in opinions from both sides. I think a big part of it is that the medical profession doesn’t want to admit how much they still don’t know, both in terms of treating illness or even identifying it in the first place. There is a perception that we are so advanced with science, we have all these amazing tests and treatments now. So…
I saw an answer from a physician, but mine comes from personal experience from fibro (8 years and counting). It’s not a simple answer, unfortunately. Fibromyalgia, for me, is a reactive condition. What that means for me is that I have a constant level of pain that is my day-to-day pain level. It’s usually somewhere about a 4 or a 5. If it’s a little lower, that’s a fantastic day, but I can survive with…
Diagnosed 10 years ago. Every day is a new mystery I am ridiculously picky about my clothes, since mild to moderate Allodynia is one of my Fibromyalgia symptoms. No sleeves of any fabric, soft fleece if I need a jacket. No bra. Between allodynia and costochondritis? Let them tiddies sag. I like breathing with less pain and not getting rashes. Screw the rules. No wool, cashmere, or other animal fibers. When they are cut, they…
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2015 and have been finding ways to keep going! Well, let’s look at this logically. When a person goes missing alien abduction is not on the police’s mind. At no point in their investigation does a detective state “should we not consider alien abduction.” When they have completely exhausted all areas of questioning they have to move on and they leave the case as an open “cold case.” Click…
Yes. The underlying disease process causing the symptoms known as “Fibromyalgia” can include an increase in anti-cardiolipin antibodies known to increase the risk of clotting and thus miscarriages. For more information, Regarding “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”, “Fibromyalgia”, “Chronic Lyme” & other chronic diseases in which the patient is frequently told by their doctors that; “you look fine, I can’t find anything wrong with you despite all of the labs that I’ve run”. Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome…
Support someone with Fibromyalgia Honestly just understanding, no suck it up, it can’t be that bad, get out and do something, it’s an illness that we never know how bad we’re gonna be so plans are pointless, invite but don’t get upset if they bail, etc, when we do get good days you can guarantee we will do all we can then have a crash for 2 weeks as did way too much, a job…
Well, that’s a loaded question, isn’t it? You are implying that not believing in a condition’s existence is in some way incorrect. An honest answer effectively requires admission of fault, which is incorrect and inappropriate. Nonetheless in the hope of providing some balance, please read on. Be warned that if you have fibromyalgia as a diagnosis yourself, you may not like what follows, and may even feel insulted. This is of necessity a short article…
