Fibramialgia?

Question

What is it?

Answer 1

it is said to be a disorder of unknown origin. however, i believe it is a symptom of disease as a side effect like hepatitis c.

my fibro has definately improved since i did antiviral chemotherapy....i do have flare ups every great now and then, but i attribute that to stress and they are nothing what it used to be.

have the doctor test you for diseases where joint aches and pains and stiffness are a symptom such as liver disease.

Answer 2

Fibromyalgia is a word the medical establishment invented to say "you have muscle pain and I don't know why but I want to sound like I do." The source of your symptoms could possibly be determined by a naturopath but not by a doctor. I had one client that was diagnosed by a doctor with fibromyalgia. I noticed from his eyes that his parathyroids were underactive. The parathyroid glands regulate blood calcium level and his were not keeping a high enough level of calcium in the bloodstream, causing painful muscle cramps at times. I told him to take low doses of calcium/magnesium 4 times a day and he hasn't had the pain since. I don't think that is always the case, so you should see a naturopath to find out.

Answer 4

You can go to www.mayoclinic.com and it will tell you what it is. Alot of people do suffer from this. There is no known cure for it, and I don't think they know for sure what causes it. It is a painful and chronic condition. Good luck to you, and let me know how your doing.
