Fibromyalgia PainUnlike many other health issues with clear cut diagnostic guidelines in place, FMS is a condition with extremely subjective symptomatic markers. Every case is truly very different than the next. Any sensible objective observer of the total FMS population would have an extremely difficult time finding how patients with such diversity of expressions could possibly all be classified under the same diagnostic heading. It makes virtually no sense at all. Fibromyalgia Pain Syndrome
Fibromyalgia is an opportunistic condition. It might come from some yet to be determined physical or anatomical source. However, the likelihood of this seems slimmer by the day. It may also be created in the mind, due to unresolved emotional issues or other psychological phenomenon. In this scenario, the following theory has been proposed by mindbody specialists:FMS hides deep in the subconscious mind while sending out its signals of pain throughout the body. Few, if any conditions, have the extensive arsenal of weapons used by fibromyalgia to wreak havoc on the body and soul. Pain can literally envelop the entire body and make life a living hell on earth. Fibromyalgia is one of the worst possible expressions of
psychosomatic back pain. Fibromyalgia Pain PointsLet’s focus on the actual pain of FMS, since this is the symptom which leads most patients to seek professional care:Acute pain is most common in the back, neck, knees, elbows, shoulders, head and thighs. These “hot spots” of pain comprise the tenderness zones used to diagnose fibromyalgia. However, pain can radiate throughout the entire body and make any movement a trial by fire. This condition is so ferocious, patients often cannot even find a comfortable position to rest or sleep. Fibromyalgia is certainly a highly debilitating disorder and has been ranked among the most functionally affective of all non-fatal health issues. Fibromyalgia Pain CureThere are dozens of pain management drugs being used to combat this disease. Hormones, herbs and diet have been used to treat the symptoms. Many alternative therapies have joined the fight to provide symptomatic relief for afflicted patients. None of these treatments have created a cure. NONE.In fact, the very fact that some therapies have worked for a few patients, while actually escalating symptoms in others shows that the diagnosis itself makes little sense. Once again, the only possible unifying facet of care which has worked for a relatively large and diverse patient sample comes from the mindbody realm and not the physical medicine sector.
