Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia treatment is usually a horrible disappointment for the patient. Since the exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, medical science has failed to find a proven cure. Fibromyalgia treatment consists mostly of symptomatic relief. Unfortunately, most of the treatments are pharmaceutical in nature, and can have negative known and unknown side effects.

Common Medications for Fibromyalgia

* Strong Opioid pain killers, such as Ultram. These are highly addictive and can be harmful to the general health during extended usage.

* Muscle relaxers are often given to calm spasming muscles. These drugs can also be addicting and can increase mental fatigue and malaise.

* Hormones may be given to attempt to “balance” the body chemistry. Hormone treatments often have side effects ranging from body hair growth, to hair loss, to increased risks of certain cancers.

* Sleep Aids are often prescribed to increase restful sleep. These medicines are often addictive and patient may not be able to sleep without the drug.

* Anti-Depressants are often given to “balance” the patient’s emotional state. These drugs have known side effects ranging from increased risk of suicide, to the creation of abnormal personality traits.

Alternative Treatments for Fibromyalgia

* Chiropractic. Used especially for back pain

 * Acupuncture. Holistic substitute for pain relief drugs. WISE CHOICE.

 * Massage Therapy. Found to improve muscle pain.

Recommendation for Fibromyalgia Treatment.

I hate to think of the side effects of many of the drugs used to treat this condition. The pain killers, especially, are some of the most addicting drugs we have in medical use today.

The alternative treatments have mixed results, but are not harmful. If you choose to pursue an alternative medicine approach to fibromyalgia treatment, I would strongly recommend avoiding the drugs. Stick to holistic treatments as much as possible. These treatments might help your pain and will not make you a drug addict in the process…

My best fibromyalgia treatment recommendation is what I have seen work time and time again. Knowledge Therapy has some of it’s best results working with fibromyalgia patients. The mind is a much more logical place to begin treatment, since the cause has never been proven to be physical. The best part of knowledge therapy (besides it's statistics for a cure) is that there are NO SIDE EFFECTS...Nice.
