Around 77 percent of people are under regular physical symptoms of stress, according to the American Stress Institute. 73% of people say that they experience stress-related psychological symptoms regularly. This can be manageable for a “normal” person. However, our bodies always have to be constantly stressed for a person who has fibromyalgia, so anything else can be weakened. Sometimes a little hip can cause a bit of stress during the day, but you can brush…
Sleep is defined as: a length of time you lay awkwardly in bed and totally exhausted but unable to rest and re-establish Fibromyalgia is funny (all right, cruel and ironic). Sleep is a fibromyalgia sufferer. You always get tired of it. Completely, incredibly tired. In physical, mental and emotional terms. One assumes that someone sleeps all the time with fibromyalgia, but you know what, right? For a person with fibrous, sleep is hard, frustrating and…
It doesn’t make me literally explode in tears often, but today. It’s not often something. I’ve been catching all things on a TV series, yes a TV series. I wasn’t reacting emotionally this time because of the treatment of the person. This was due to the actress ‘ very real despair when she was told her character could not find anything wrong. She was so emotional that I had felt personally that for a moment…
By: Dr Alexa James Living with Fibromyalgia is challenging. We really need researchers to get on with this weak condition, which appears to be advancing on the basis of several factors, attention and time, and to fully find out how Fibro works and the best way to treat symptoms. Doctors have just treated the symptoms and thought that it would be enough to control it, but it doesn’t work long-term. In the past, fibromyalgia tended…
By: Dr Alexa James Fibromyalgia cannot, of course, text the people who live with it, but it could look like that if it did. It was thus a hypothetical question that we asked to share what a text conversation with fibromyalgia might look like in our Facebook community. Many people talk and we have compiled a list of few messages for you. Here is what community share with us: 1st Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.…
By: Dr. Alexa James We experience hundreds, thousands and hundreds of tiny movements every day in our everyday lives. We probably don’t even think about most of that. We have natural instincts and reflexes. We have tasks and tasks every day. We’re working, we’re playing, we’re training. We are breathing in, we are exhaling. Even before we get out of bed we wake up in the morning and spend another day facing. In the night (or…
By: Dr Alexa James The main cause, which often circles misunderstanding and myth around the chronic condition causing pain and exhaustion, is experienced by everyone with fibromyalgia syndrome. Education is a key to managing symptoms effectively. Fibromyalgia is a chronic, untreatable condition that can affect between three and six percent of the world’s population, characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, chronic exhaustion, brain fog, and sleep disorder. Since fibromyalgia was only recognized officially some decades ago,…
By: Dr Alexa James Very often, people do not understand what Fibromyalgia is like, and other chronic, invisible diseases that cause chronic pain. In their lives they have experienced constant pain, so many have somehow, but they have never had to deal with long-term pain. I tried to search for the “official” pain labels for different pain types I felt but could not find a label with a proper description for them all. I found…
By: Dr Alexa James Fibromyalgia has changed me in many different ways, most often, I don’t feel like my own age and some people think that I either don’t look like my own age, but what a fakes smile or some make-up can do surprises me, that can make you seem like an ordinary, happy and healthy person, but it’s not the way I feel. Fibromyalgia is an ill-understood disease. Missing understanding and support almost…
By: Dr Alexa James It is expected that 9 out of 10 adults were somewhere in their lives infected with the Epstein-Barr virus. The virus causes no severe symptoms for most people. It is good that you actually didn’t know at the time, if you were infected with it at some point. However, some people may experience the virus significantly more severe and have repeated symptoms for years. People with fibromyalgia are particularly vulnerable to…
