Relief From Fibromyalgia

There are millions of patients today seeking relief from fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a diverse and often ill-defined musculoskeletal pain syndrome that affects many areas of the body at once or in succession. Many patients with this torturous condition report having especially bad back pain associated with the syndrome. Medical science has not come up with a definitive cause for this disease, but care providers have prospered financially from treating it. In fact, in a recent statistical study, the profit margin of treating fibromyalgia rated as one of the overall highest in the medical sector. This is saying quite a lot!

Fibromyalgia is also sometimes called FMS, Fibrositis, Myofibrositis, Myofascial Pain, fibrositis Fibromyositis, Muscular Rheumatism, Tension Myalgia, Rheumatic Myositis or Myofasciitis.

The condition is usually managed by rheumatologists, although pain management specialists and general internists are also instrumental in ongoing patient care practices.

Relief From Fibromyalgia Facts

Fibromyalgia affects many more women than men. There are no known definitive reasons why this occurs. However, some specialists speculate that the condition is partially caused by a hormonal imbalance. This might make the condition more suited to a female body chemistry, than a male genetic makeup.

Fibromyalgia is a very controversial disease. There have been thousands of studies and research projects conducted to determine more reliable information on the cause and symptoms of this epidemic condition. The more information that is discovered, the more confusing the clinical picture of FMS becomes.

Most working theories revolve around anatomical causes, most of which have turned out to be non-applicable to the vast majority of sufferers. Doctors have narrowed in on bacterial infections, environmental contamination, genetic markers, exposure to particular substances, dietetic concerns and various other purely “physical” possible causations without actually proving any of them to source or contribute to the development of fibromyalgia in the least… Descartes is alive and well in the FMS treatment sector, since the mindbody connection is the most overlooked and promising working theory currently in place!

Recommendation for Relief From Fibromyalgia

I have met and interviewed several hundred women suffering from fibromyalgia and a few men. I also have a member of my own family who suffered with this terrible affliction. I have followed the treatments received by these patients. I have seen the results...

I am appalled by the results!!!

Typically, patients did not get resolution of their physical symptoms even through specialized treatments. Most of those being treated with powerful drugs had equally powerful corresponding side effects. Alternative approaches to pain relief had mixed results, but at least they did not create more problems than they solved.

In general, most of these patients continued to be physically ill and deteriorated mentally and emotionally. Many became depressed and at least several reported that they seriously considered suicide. At least one who I knew went through with it.

My relative suffered with this condition for about 8 years. It cost this wonderful woman her job and her marriage. She tried pharmaceutical symptomatic treatment and became addicted to 3 different medications. She required extensive drug rehabilitation to rid herself of these addictions. She finally learned about knowledge therapy, on my recommendation, and tried it as a last resort. Her exact words to me were…

"I have nothing left to lose, I have already lost everything."

It broke my heart...

After learning an alternative explanation of why she had this chronic pain, she was able to recover 100%. The process took her almost a year, but she did it. It is a shame she could not have embraced this knowledge earlier, before so much damage was done to her life and her health. Better late than never…

I still get her continuing thanks for “opening her eyes” to a REAL CURE, rather than just more symptomatic relief from fibromyalgia. She has also found a new career working with a fibromyalgia support group.

Dr. John Sarno writes a considerable volume of literature about finding relief from fibromyalgia using purely psycho-emotional modalities. He speculates that FMS is simply a particularly brutal expression of tension myoneural syndrome and that most patients can be cured without traditional medical care. In an industry which offers so little with so much risk, this approach sounds great in theory, but has yet to be accepted as a viable alternative by most patients, most likely due to the perceived stigma of psychosomatic causation. Such as shame indeed…
