What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a mysterious chronic disease that produces
severe pain throughout the body
along with exhaustion, sleep problems, depression and anxiety.
Not much is known about Fibromyalgia even today.
It is estimated 2 to 4 percent of the population suffer from Fibromyalgia. For reasons not yet established it
affects women at an alarmingly higher rate then it does men.
It is estimated that between 80 and 90 percent of people diagnosed with Fibromyalgia are women.
Fibromyalgia spreads throughout the body causing enormous
pain and exhaustion
and is known to develop alone or along with other debilitating
conditions of the musculoskeletal system
such arthritis or lupus.
People
suffering from Fibromyalgia
often feel isolated and misunderstood due to the fact that the ability to perform daily tasks varies depending on the severity of symptoms which fluctuate greatly from day to day.
Diagnosing Fibromyalgia
In order for fibromyalgia to be diagnosed, your health care provider will ask you specific questions about your overall health.
Pain and stiffness
that spreads throughout the body coupled with
muscle and joint pain
and
tender spots along fibrous tissue
for more than three months are typical signs doctors look for accompanied by
sleep disturbances, headaches,
and
imbalances in cortisol
and neurotransmitter levels.
Certain muscle areas located in the neck, shoulders, buttocks, knees, and arms are the most affected and pain is typically more intense upon awakening and at night before bed time.
Many times
symptoms of Fibromyalgia
are confused with those of arthritis however arthritis causes severe disfigurement of joints along with swelling which cannot be caused by Fibromyalgia alone.

What Causes Fibromyalgia?
Exactly what causes fibromyalgia remains unknown. Those with musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis or lupus are considered at a higher risk of developing Fibromyalgia.
Some studies suggest that it may have a genetic link. Other studies show a connection between
physical and emotional trauma
and the development of Fibromyalgia. There is also evidence of
abnormal levels of pain transmitters
causing nerve receptors to communicate to the brain that there is pain when there is no apparent reason for it.
Some researches are inclined to believe that Fibromyalgia is viral in origin such as chronic fatigue and Epstein barr. Others feel that it is directly related to
high levels of toxins in the body’s
delicate system
which can lead to chemical changes.
Recently a
connection between sleep disorders and Fibromyalgia
has been established since
people suffering from Fibromyalgia
lack delta way sleep which is the deepest and most relaxing sleep of all. When deprived from this fundamentally restorative sleep, disturbances in the delicate biological rhythms
severely compromise systemic health.
Food allergies
have also been linked to Fibromyalgia. Specific foods that are known to cause sensitivities that can
aggravate symptoms
include shellfish, milk, citrus fruits, wheat, corn, and tomatoes among others.
Help for Fibromyalgia
Researchers have discovered that certain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which
controls mood, sleep patterns, and pain,
are very low in fibromyalgia patients. Apparently
disturbances in brain chemistry
are to blame for the changes that occur in
muscle structure and metabolism
in those suffering from Fibromyalgia.
Currently there are no drugs approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration to treat Fibromyalgia although there are a few currently being developed.
Doctors mainly aim to
treat symptoms of Fibromyalgia
with the following types of medications:
