FibromyalgiaPatients are typically emotionally crushed by the
nocebo effect
of this powerful diagnosis, especially once they research the condition and realize just how powerless medicine has been at successfully treating it. FMS Condition
Rheumatologists
have taken the lead in the fight against this chronic pain disorder. Doctors do not agree on what exactly causes the symptoms, with some leaning towards a viral agent, some a hormonal or chemical imbalance, some the psychological idea of “secondary gain” and others are simply baffled. Therefore, treatment strategies range a wide spectrum from conservative to experimental to downright comical. Medical science has found absolutely no success in identifying and curing the actual causes of the condition and has had only minimal success controlling the symptoms via powerful
fibromyalgia drugs. The Growing EpidemicFMS has been on the steady rise for over 20 years. The incidence of diagnosis is more prevalent than ever, especially among young women. It is amazing that educated patients and doctors alike subscribe to all the partial or ridiculous theories concerning the nature of this disorder, when the same doctors explaining the causative circumstances have no ideas how to prevent it, stop it or even make it more livable. When it comes to the chronic pain and suffering of this disorder, medicine has once again completely missed the point. Worse still, its ineptitude has ruined the lives of so many which have been labeled with the FMS diagnosis, then simply abandoned for lack of effective treatment.Recommendation on FibromyalgiaSome doctors speculate that the most logical and sensible explanation for the dreaded symptoms of this disease can be explained by placing it in the same category as conditions such as tension myositis syndrome. These pain syndromes are psychologically induced, yet experienced 100% physically.Just as physical medicine has proven useless against TMS and other forms of psychosomatic pain, it has proven itself equally useless against fibromyalgia. I have personally witnessed the complete amelioration of symptoms in many patients using knowledge therapy to cure their pain. I can’t say the same for any of the multitude of medical, alternative medical or new age treatments being marketed towards the growing number of suffering patients. I would love to hear your experiences receiving FMS treatment. Based on past correspondences, I know it can be a disappointing journey, but if you have enjoyed any benefits from a particular choice of therapy, please share it to help others.
