The Invisible Illness
What is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is defined as a disease with a chronic muscle pain accompanied by unexplainable stiffness and fatigue. FM and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome share many of the same symptoms. There is debate as to whether Fibromyalgia is a syndrome or a rheumatic disorder. A syndrome has many different signs and symptoms whereas a disorder causes disruption of normal physical functions. Either way, FM has the potential to be incapacitating. No One Understands In the past few years the American Rheumatologists have outlined the following criteria, which must be met in order to be officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Pain in the left and right side of the body, pain above and below the waist and in either the spine, neck, front of chest, thoracic spine or low back. Pain in 11 of 18 tender point sites: under back of the skull, lower neck muscles, upper back muscles, top of shoulders, second rib, just below elbows, upper outer quadrant of buttock, hip bone, the knee proximal to medial joint line.

A Reversible Condition—Believe It Traumatic events and unexpressed emotions are also linked to this disorder. Diagnosis becomes difficult and definitive causative factors of FM, elusive. What To Do Signs and Symptoms—Is this you?
Chronic Muscle and Joint Aches and Pains The word Fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles and the tissues that connect bones, namely the ligaments and tendons. The condition is neither life threatening or causes deformity, although its presence can certainly interfere with daily activity. FM sufferers may also experience TMJ dysfunction and be diagnosed as such. Others may be diagnosed with having Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Sensitivities to odors, noise, bright lights, medications and foods are common with FM patients. As you can see, many of these symptoms of FM overlap other conditions and it can become quite confusing! Know one thing—that you can be well by taking one step at a time. Lifestyle Adjustments The use of an INFRA-RED sleeping pad melts the crystals of acidic toxic waste which is then eliminated through the kidneys, colon and skin. This type of device has proven to be highly beneficial for FM. The debilitating pain often begins in muscles located near joints which suggests that acidic wastes in the synovial fluid cause inflammation. Using heat and/or heat applications can alleviate this pain temporarily. Also, the use of Essential Oils, therapeutic baths and foot baths help to ease the discomforts of Fibromyalgia. Never be discouraged! With proper guidance and support, Fibromyalgia is a reversible condition. “Brain Fatigue” describes how drained of energy the FM person feels. Fibromyalgia bares a myriad of complexities. A leaky gut contributes to unusually high levels of undigested food in the system, which contributes to the toxic feeling. The body works overtime to clean up this toxicity so that whatever energy may be left is now used up with the digestive process. The gut is the point of fuel and nutrient entry. If the gut is not healthy, neither is the rest of the body. Chemical sensitivity, Fibromyalgia and escalating food allergies are among the many problems caused by the leaky gut. A leaky gut represents a hyper permeable intestinal lining. In other words, large spaces develop between the cells of the gut wall, and bacteria, toxins and food leak in. A highly aggressive approach to re-establishing bowel health is essential. “Fibromyalgia bares a myriad of complexities.”
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are closely related and are often confused, but what they bare in common is the stress that these conditions put on the immune system. Chronic pain takes a tremendous amount of energy from the reserves. This drain of energy makes the FM sufferer more susceptible tible to common flu and viruses. On occasion, a low grade fever can accompany these symptoms making the discomfort even more intense. Establishing proper pH in the body ensures that vulnerability to pathogens is not even a possibility. Viruses, funguses and bacteria cannot exist in an internal environment where the pH is balanced. As you detoxify the body and re-establish the inner terrain, your resistance to diseases and conditions will increase significantly. Now that’s good news! Depression, Anxiety, Malaise and Headaches In FM, the nerves have an inherent weakness. Congenital problems exist with handling metabolic wastes when it comes to the by-products of undigested foods. Often the problem is enhanced by the uric acid waste from incomplete protein digestion. This long-term exposure to the acidic wastes takes its toll over time. The cells are deprived of vital nutrients, the blood is clogged, the lymphatic system sluggish and the membranes weak. This acidic waste filters through to vulnerable soft tissues. Regardless of the syndrome you are contending with, the bottom line is that toxic wastes have no where to go. This results in systemic toxicity and such conditions as Fibromyalgia. Depression Chronic pain and not being able to function as you normally would plays on the emotions. It is important to have support from those who understand what you are going through. Having an empathetic listener is advantageous as long as you are actively pursuing wellness even while being ill. Headaches Toxic bodies can also contribute to headaches. As you work with detoxifying each system of elimination, the frequency of headaches will subside. Excessive uric acid in tissue and high blood sugars from carbohydrate digestion can also be contributors to headaches. A diet that focuses on raw, whole foods must be adhered to. Drinking adequate quantities of good water is also a necessary component of reclaiming and maintaining your health. Medical Protocols Simple Solutions to Revitalize the Toxic Body Diet, Diet, Diet!

Are you suffering from a debilitating state of widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness and fatigue? Then you could possibly be suffering from Fibromyalgia (FM).
Most FM patients indicate that the onset of their illness began with some traumatic event, such as a severe flu-like illness, a car accident, a vaccination or some emotional trauma such as death or divorce. Frequently, FM patients find that others do not understand the magnitude of their physical symptoms and medical practitioners have no objective testing modalities to authenticate the existence of FM.
Flu-like symptoms that just don’t go away can be experienced with FM. Lymph nodes are engorged, energy is compromised and the body experiences varying levels of pain in its musculoskeletal structure.
All degenerative diseases, whether it be Arthritis or Fibromyalgia, carry a piece of inherited vulnerability that make one more prone to particular conditions.
The desire to be well is where all change comes from. Put that together with the right information and vibrant health can be yours!
