I suffer from Fibromyalgia and certainly understand what you are going through. Here's my recommendation for treatments.





Treatment includes the following:


鈥?Change in diet and nutrition


鈥?Supplements geared toward Fibromyalagia


鈥?Exercise: Gentle stretching such as warm water stretches and light aerobic activity, if possible.


鈥?Physical Therapy under the guidance of a Chiropractor or Naturopathic


鈥?Massage Therapy


鈥?Avoidance of activities that over stress the body (Consider keeping a journal)


鈥?Regulate sleep patterns


鈥?Avoiding emotional stress





Nutrition is very important with this condition as with any serious physical condition. Avoid caffeine products, sugar, processed foods and fried foods. Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) is often a factor in causing the person with Fibromyalgia to feel fatigued. That is why a good nutrition program is very important, eating frequent small meals with some protein is very important in keeping the blood levels even.





Whole grains, seeds, nuts, yogurt, chicken, Turkey, organic beef, eggs, natural cheese and cottage cheese should form the base of your diet. Accompanied by Appropriate vegetables and a minimum amount of fruit.





A good quality multi-vitamin is absolutely essential with this condition. It's important to replace what the body loses daily. If a person takes no other supplement but a multi-vitamin they're helping to support their body daily. Co Q 10, in soft gel form 100mg, taken three times daily can help increase the energy.





There's no definite cure for Fibromyalagia but there are certainly many alternative methods that can help you improve the quality of your life. The medical drug Lyrica has been helpful in relieving pain for many people with Fibromyalgia. I still find that natural medicine works best for me.





I find that deep tissue massage therapy performed regularly really keeps down the pain. When I鈥檓 going through a really bad time I always get a massage. It works better than any medicine.





Physical therapy that is performed at home is very important for Fibromyalgia. Warm water stretches performed at least three times weekly can be of tremendous help keeping the joints and muscles flexible. A Jacuzzi or hot tub is without a doubt one of the best treatments you can do at home, not only does it improve circulation you can also perform warm water stretches in it. If you have access to one and can use this daily you would see a tremendous change in the body. Using a moist heating pad on areas of pain for 20 minutes - the best analgesic cream that I have found is BEN GAY. Massage it after the heat and you will find a tremendous difference. I also find that chiropractic care can bring tremendous relief. I always recommend people with Fibromyalgia seek out a Chiropractor who uses the activator method for physical therapy and pain relief. If you would like to find out about a doctor of chiropractic in your area who uses this method go to http://www.activator.com/qualified_docto鈥?/a>
