Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia

How is it that a medical expert could use the 1990 ACOR criteria for Fibromyalgia in July of 2009, when was the preliminary available? I don t have any money, I am now disabled and not working, I need help and some answers. Is this questionnaire set up to help or to make money? Sorry about the attitude but I am tired of trying to find the truth about my case and because I am unable to make the living that I once made because of the Fibro, I am left in the dark.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

a little knowledge about the fibromyalgia is needed. Fibro-myal-gia is a condition where the pain is in the fibres of the muscle. Each muscle is composed of multiple muscle fibers and inflammation happening there will lead to the dysfunction in the circuiting of the muscle fibers to produce the contraction and relaxation.

also to understand here that the medication is a symptomatic relief and not a long term solution as the body is a medicine of its own and medication used acts as a supportive therapy to allow body to heal on its own.

Also, in my clinical practice most Fibromyalgia cases we recommend physical therapy, meditation and breathing exercises.

As physical therapy will help improve the muscle refunctioning and also improve the metabolism and immune system to reduce the inflammation. Also Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy have been useful to reduce the pain but importantly exercises are the choice.

meditation helps improve the control over the anxiety and leads to cooling of aggression.

Breathing exercises helps to improve the oxygen carrying blood cells which acts as a fuel in the metabolism and reduce the metabolic waste as well.
