ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND FIBROMYALGIA - SUPPLEMENTS, HERBS, VITAMINS, ANTIOXIDAN fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a physical disorder that causes the sensory system to become hyperaware of environmental stimuli, including smell, sound, http://www.vitaminstuff.com/articles/alternativemedicine/articles-alternative-me

The Alternative Medicine Section Vitamins Minerals Supplements ... Special Sections Alternative Medicine and Fibromyalgia, Part 1 Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a physical disorder that causes the sensory system to become hyperaware of environmental stimuli, including smell, sound, light, vibration, and, most notably, pain. In fact, it is the increased sensitivity to pain among fibromyalgia sufferers that has come to define this condition—the word “fibromyalgia” literally means a condition of pain in the muscle and connective tissue fibers. Fibromyalgia is nothing new; doctors have been aware of this condition for centuries, and have referred to it by many different names, including chronic rheumatism, muscular rheumatism, fibrositis, myofibrositis, and spinal irritation. Some of the terms once used to describe fibromyalgia, such as “morbid affectation” and “Charcot’s hysteria,” reflect an unfortunate tendency of the medical community to dismiss FMS as a form of hypochondria or mental illness—fibromyalgia sufferers present no obvious measurable physiological changes, so diagnosis of this syndrome has always been largely dependent on the process of exclusion. Physicians must first rule out diseases for which there are measurable tests, and only then is a diagnosis of fibromyalgia considered. Although some insurance companies and medical professionals still don’t consider fibromyalgia a legitimate diagnosis, both the American College of Rheumatology (AMR) and the World Health Organization officially define FMS as a physical, rather than mental, disorder. As a result of the Copenhagen Declaration, fibromyalgia is now defined as a condition of chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain, which may include chronic fatigue, muscle stiffness, non-refreshing sleep, and painful sensitivity in 11 of 18 defined “tender points.” Fibromyalgia syndrome often coexists with Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS), a painful condition that not only causes chronic muscle pain, but can also cause chronic headaches, irritable bladder, dysmenorrhea, cold sensitivity, Raynaud’s phenomenon, restless legs, physical weakness, poor circulation, and patterns of numbness or tingling.

Join Dr. Flanagan's Health Secrets mailing list. Enter Email Below: MegaHydrate is the key that unlocks the potential of water as the medium for nutrient replenishment and waste removal at the cellular level. In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients and remove waste and relief pain from conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine. Caffeine effects include anxiety, dizziness, headaches, sleep disorders, and many common ailments. MegaHydrate also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging. In addition to hydration, MegaHydrate is the most powerful known antioxidant food. Since it is an "pure" antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical itself, taken daily, MegaHydrate delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating pounds of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of "healing waters," also known as "glacial milk." Humans need Hydrogen to survive. It is the key to long life and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not get enough Hydrogen ions daily. Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age. In summary, MegaHydrate challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging.

Fibromyalgia Natural Relief May 1, 2008 Fibromyalgia: My Story Hello, I am Helen from Indianapolis, IN.  On January 3rd, 2002 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (that was a trick in itself just to be diagnosed). At this time, I had no previous knowledge on what this medical condition was, nor have I ever really heard of it. However, after many months of testing, exams, and more, I was a bit relieved to the fact that an official diagnosis had been made. In my opinion, this diagnosis meant that now the doctors and specialists that I was working with would now how to treat the condition and that I could experience some degree of relief on the symptoms that I experienced on a consistent basis. Little did I know that, while this medical condition had been carefully researched and documented, there was very little to offer in the way of treatment. Here, I will tell you about my personal battle with fibromyalgia, and the steps that I have taken to live comfortably with this condition. When I was diagnosed with this condition, my doctor prescribed two different medications to me. The prescriptions that I received were

skip to main skip to sidebar The Fibromyalgia Research Blog The latest in fibromyalgia research, news, and clinical trials. Friday, February 29, 2008 Are Fibromyalgia Patients More Sensitive to Sound? Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread tenderness, including sensitivity to touch. But do fibromyalgia patients also more sensitive to other stimuli, such as sound? In their article A Psychophysical Study of Auditory and Pressure Sensitivity in Patients With Fibromyalgia and Healthy Controls , researchers at the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, discuss their recent research into this question [ Journal of Pain , 2008 Feb 14]. Because past studies reported that people with fibromyalgia are sensitive to other stimuli, such as auditory tones, they hypothesized "that subjects with [fibromyalgia] would display greater sensitivity to both pressure and auditory tones and report greater sensitivity to sounds encountered in daily activities" and that fibromyalgia involves a global central nervous system amplification of sensory information. The study administered auditory tones and physical pressure to 30 fibromyalgia patients and 28 healthy controls. They used the same psychophysical methods to deliver the stimuli and a similar way of scaling responses. Subjects also completed a self-report questionnaire regarding sensitivity to everyday sounds.

References Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common, chronic, generalized pain syndrome of unknown origin. Although pain and tenderness are its defining features, fatigue, sleep disturbance, non-cardiac chest pain, depression and poor concentration are also common. FM is second only to osteoarthritis in frequency of visits to rheumatology clinics, and about 5% of women and 0.5% of men in the United States will be affected, and the majority will be between 30 to 50 years of age ref 1 Although diffuse pain and tenderness are its defining characteristics, over 75% also report chronic fatigue, a major contributor to the disability and impairment in FM ref 2 . FM also associates with a variety of health problems including sleep disturbance, irritable bowel syndrome, and mood disorders ref 3 . Although it is unclear whether persons with FM are more likely to have a psychiatric disorder than the general population, it is estimated that 20% to 40% of persons with FM experience mood disorders such as depression and anxiety ref 4 . This is not surprising given the multiple symptoms, normal laboratory tests, feelings of victimization, loss of control, and generally ineffective treatments. Moreover, routine tasks take longer to accomplish, and adaptations must be made to minimize pain and fatigue that negatively affect employment and social activities

Joint and muscle problems associated with fungal exposure; the full explanation pharmadocs are lost at recognizing, diagnosing, or treating this illness since they do not know what tests to conduct and in most cases it is not treated with drugs. This makes fibromyalgia exceedingly frustrating for the medical community. Early symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome: "(FMS)" indicates that the preceding symptom often accompanies fibromyalgia. "(H)" indicates that reactive hypoglycemia or insulin resistance may contribute to the symptom. The Latin-derived names of the muscles in brackets [ ] indicate the most likely muscles that may have trigger points that could cause the symptom. The symptoms are listed in boldface type, but by design, they are not in any particular order. There may be a variety of causes for every symptom, and there are many ways of categorizing the symptoms. I do not wish to imply connections where there may not be any, nor, by separating symptoms, to exclude them where they may exist. Each of us is different and our patterns of symptoms may be different. You may notice that the diagnostic criteria for FMS and MPS are very similar to the symptoms of fungal exposure.
