Dealing with Fibromyalgia


Fibromyalgia is a health problem characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points that occurs in precise, localized areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips; also may cause sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritated bowel, anxiety, and other symptoms.

Fibromyalgia can involve other over lapping conditions: fatigue, yeast, gut health issues, body weight abnormalities.

The fundamental cause of fibromyalgia is an out of balance immune system, lack of energy and oxygen to the cells and a build of toxins in the body (and the subsequent pH imbalance).
In mainstream medicine the only form of treatment are immune suppressive medications and often prozac type drugs for the depression and anxiety issues that are often a part of the symptomatic picture.

What causes the pain and other symptoms in fibromyalgia is unknown from a mainstream medical point of view.
