Ive got a friend who suffers from this and thought this would be a good place to ask.
Does anyone suffer from this or know what supplements could aid with this condition?
Thanks in advance
whats fibromyalgia?
I bet in 50years we will be able to break it down a variety of different diseases both physical and mental but until that time we just give it that umbrella term. Is it "real" in every case. I guess one would have to define real. Since this is one time that "modern medicine" cant find a known cause and i dont have the slightest clue what it actually is ( likely a group of many things) id recommend diet modifications, supps, placebos, u name it.
Its so challenging to deal with fibromyalgia patients. They keep getting worked up expecting to find stuff but its negative 99% of the time but the fear of missing something real keeps causing unnecessary radiation and medical expenditures.
Also fibromyalgia is often the term given by doctors who dont know whats wrong and just want to give it a name to make the patient feel like that have a diagnosis. Make sure the doctor didnt give up too soon as ive known a few patients who were diagnosied with fibromyalgia at one point only to later find the cause later on.
This is one time ill definitively let the supp guys like LK and others deal with this as I have very very little to add.
Fibroplex by Metagenics. 4 pills a day, or until diarrhea. There is a deficiency in the Krebs cycle, where malic acid conversion is broken, so the ingredients here are magnesium and malic acid. Should see results in 2 weeks, if not 48 hours.
In addition, as mentioned above, as CD57 blood test will tell if its Lyme or black mold related, which can produce these symptoms. Lyrica and Neuronitn sometimes work by decreasing the limbic system (frontal brain connecting emotions to brain) Lastly check for Hashimoto antibodies.
Diatomaceous earth 1/2 tsp a day useful as internal cleanse, and there are pages of testimonials on it.
Lastly, a broken methylation detox system is often in place, so we run the MTHFR test. You will need Dr. to use Dx of high cholesterol to get it paid however. Around $300 from Labcorp.
I think its more of a mental health disorder and from the stress and anxiety triggers nerve pain. I really think its a somatoform disorder.
Almost everyone I ever came across that has Fibro has a co-existing mental health diagnoses.
I think poor diet plays a role along with the stress and anxiety all coniscie with each other and in term may impact the mitochondria to a degree with Fibro too.
Get mental health addressed whether its stress or anxiety and get on good diet plan and there will be no Fibro.
So says every arrogant, ignorant, puffed up Dr. that encounters something he/she doesn't understand, "psy·cho·so·mat·ic"
Fu*K those Drs.
Central pain syndrome, central sensitization, and Complex pain syndromes are very real and VERY physiological. Just because a Dr doesn't have the tools to quantify it doesn't mean it's all in a person's head.
