Have your muscles felt fatigued and you want to sleep a lot? Do you experience memory and mood issues, too? If so, you might have fibromyalgia, which includes musculoskeletal painful sensations often brought on by physical trauma, surgery, infection or even psychological stress. And sometimes symptoms occur with no discernable triggering event. Some people are genetically susceptible to developing this disorder which “runs in families.”
Important Fibromyalgia Facts
It has been said that women are more likely to experience fibromyalgia than men. In addition to the issues mentioned above, those with fibromyalgia may experience tension headaches, TMJ (a jawbone disorder), irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and/or depression.
Fatigue is often one of the main symptoms associated with fibromyalgia– people will awaken feeling tired and their sleep is interrupted/disrupted thanks to pain. They might also have sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome. Besides fatigue, there’s the issue of widespread pain on both sides of the body both above and below the waist– and this pain is usually a “dull ache” lasting more than three months. Ugh. And, to top it off, there’s “fibro fog,” a way to describe cognitive difficulties– it’s hard to pay attention and concentrate on mental tasks– it’s hard to stay focused. All of these symptoms make it difficult to live a normal life– these symptoms interfere with the ability to function at home or at work.
While there isn’t a known cure for fibromyalgia, there is some hope that those suffering with it can reduce their symptoms and feel better. One option is Microdose Therapy™ which has been known to reduce pain, stiffness, numbness, fatigue, brain fog, tingling, tremors and depression, while improving a person’s ability to move as intended. Microdose Therapy™ is a cortisol dosing technique yielding a 77% average symptom improvement for those dealing with fibromyalgia. Intrigued? You should be!
