Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia
is an epidemic condition that has permeated every level of society. The condition has benefited from medical science’s incessant desire to classify and simplify diagnoses. This disorder is clearly NOT a singular medical condition, but instead, a syndrome consisting of many separate and individualized symptoms acting in unison. Diagnosed patients are emotionally crushed by the
nocebo effect
of this powerful diagnosis, especially once they research the condition and realize just how powerless medicine has been to successfully treat it.
Fibromyalgia 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 Epidemic
This condition has been on the steady rise for over 15 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…
Recommendation on Fibromyalgia
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.
