Other Manifestations

Other common symptoms of FM include: overwhelming fatigue that does not respond well to rest, sleeping disorders, such as not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep, headaches, inability to mentally focus or concentrate (known as "fibro-fog"), digestive complaints, depression, nervous exhaustion, and decreased sexual libido or performance.

Traditional Treatment

The exact cause and mechanism of fibromyalgia has not been conclusively identified.  Traditional doctors have primarily focused upon addressing the overt symptoms of fibromyalgia.  Accordingly, your medical provider may recommend pain killers, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory medication, anti-depression drugs, or sleeping medication to address your symptoms.

Alternative Treatment

 Other healthcare providers such as Chiropractors and Naturapaths tend to view FM as dysfunction in the body's hormonal, metabolic, and energy production systems.  They may utilize manipulation, physiotherapy, massage, exercise, detoxification procedures, nutrition and herbs to help re-balance these systems.

A Powerful New Tool

Doctor's Fibromyalgia Cream is truly an innovation in modern science and technology.  It was specifically developed to help your doctor address many of the central issues that are thought to be responsible for the development of your fibromyalgia pain.

Doctor's Fibromyalgia Cream features billions of time released microscopic hollow spheres called "nano-liposomes" that contain very potent homeopathics and rare supporting botanicals.  When applied topically to the sensitive and painful areas, the liposomes effectively transport and release these powerful ingredients directly into the deep layers of affected tissues.

Doctor's Fibromyalgia Cream is an homeopathic remedy, indicated for fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

     Our company has perfected and tested Doctor’s Fibromyalgia Cream for more than 2 years prior to releasing it. This unique cream is known as "transdermal homeopathics". We have invented and perfected a new delivery system (patents pending worldwide), where by homeopathic remedies and supporting botanicals are loaded into billions of microscopic liposome carriers, and rapidly transported into the deep layers of the targeted tissues. Additionally, these powerful ingredients are then time-released into the tissues over the course of about 8 hours.  Our new line of transdermal creams are not mere “counter-irritants” that simply get hot or cold, temporarily distracting the patient's sensation of pain. Although counter-irritant hot / cold gels are very common, they never really address the central issues that are typically at the heart of fibromyalgia or chronic pain. For example, Doctor’s Fibromyalgia Cream not only significantly reduces fibromyalgia pain, but can actually help to modulate numerous underlying hormonal dysfunctions often seen in this condition, down-regulate chronic inflammation, and promote the clearing of the chronic inflammatory tissue metabolites that often accumulate in the soft tissues in fibromyalgia! You see, Doctor’s Fibromyalgia Cream is not just another “ice cube” in a gel form!

 Definitions and symptoms:

The term “fibromyalgia” (FM or FMS) is a chronic syndrome characterized by specific chronic pain in the muscles, ligaments, bones, joints, tendons, may cause fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, numbness or tingling sensations, mood changes, chest pain, dry eyes, painful menstrual periods, dizziness, anxiety and many more symptoms.  Fibromyalgia is referred to as a syndrome because it is a set of signs and symptoms that occur together. 

 

If you have widespread musculoskeletal pain in your muscles, ligaments, tendons as well as fatigue but your doctor can’t find anything wrong with you, you might be suffering from Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is often referred as the “invisible” illness or disability due to the fact generally there are no outward indications of the illness.  Individuals suffering from this invisible illness in general often face disbelief from others that are unfamiliar with the syndrome.  Most people who suffer from Fibromyalgia symptoms say they ache all over and their muscles feel like they have been pulled or overworked. Your muscles sometimes can twitch or burn.  Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men and shows up in people of all ages. Fibromyalgia is an often misunderstood condition because symptoms are common and tests usually come back normal.  Medical studies have proven that fibromyalgia does exist and currently is estimated to affect over 4 million people.  The intensity of your symptoms may very and probably never totally disappear completely.  However, fibromyalgia isn’t life threating or progressive. With treatment and self-care you can improve fibromyalgia symptoms and your health.

 

Why do people suffer from fibromyalgia?

There are many different studies on why people suffer from fibromyalgia but no one really knows for sure.  Researchers speculate many different reasons why you may suffer from fibromyalgia.  Some of these include abnormal levels of several different chemicals that transmit pain to the brain, an infectious illness, emotional and physical trauma, hormonal changes, muscle abnormalities, infection, automobile accident, lupus, hypothyroidism, age and many more. Researchers do know that when you grow older your bones, joints and muscles metabolism or slows down naturally which can cause fibromyalgia.  Most bone, joint and muscle problems are accompanied with pain.  Some people try to ignore the pain until it grows out of control and then seek treatment.  People in this situation can experience some level of stress or depression which could further elevate the feeling of pain throughout the body. Sleep then becomes a problem because no one can sleep while in such pain. This causes metabolism to keep declining as a result of inadequate sleep, which causes more depression, stress, pain, and repeats itself over and over again.

 

What are some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia?

 All people are different and no two people with fibromyalgia experience the same symptoms the same way, but people with fibromyalgia do experience similar symptoms. Signs and symptoms can vary depending on the weather, stress, physical activity or even the time of the day.  Common signs and symptoms include:

 

Pain is the most prominent symptom of fibromyalgia.  The pain of fibromyalgia has no boundaries.  This pain is usually in the muscles and ligaments.  This deep pain is commonly located in the head, neck, chest, shoulders, upper and lower back, hips, arms, elbows, legs, knees and feet. Usually the pain is worse in the mornings and can be described as burning, throbbing, shooting, aching or stabbing. This pain can last for months at a time and is often accompanied by stiffness.

 

Fatigue and sleep disturbances occur in about 90% of people who have fibromyalgia.  Fatigue occurs so commonly that some doctors think fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are the same disease.  The severity of fatigue can range from mild to incapacitating.  People who suffer from fatigue often wake up tired and unrefreshed even though they had plenty of sleep.  Some studies say that fibromyalgia disrupts alpha waves of sleep patterns.  This condition causes people to miss the deep restorative stage of sleep making them feel fatigued during the day.  This alpha wave interrupted sleep pattern has been described as “brain fatigue” in which the person feels totally drained of energy.  Many patients have also been found to have other sleep disorders in addition to the alpha-EEG, such as sleep apnea, bruxism (teeth grinding), periodic limb movement during sleep (jerking of arms and legs), and restless legs syndrome (difficulty sitting still in the evenings).  Another common symptom is called fibrofog which refers to the inability to concentrate, memory loss, and depression.  Many experts suspect that fibrofog is directly related to sleep disturbances experienced by suffers of fibromyalgia.

 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) - constipation, diarrhea, frequent abdominal pain, abdominal gas, nausea, bloating associated with IBS are frequently found in rougly 40% to 70% of patients who suffer from fibromyalgia.  This can also include acid reflux or gastroesophogeal reflux disease (GRED).

 

Chronic headaches and facial pain - Migraine or tension headaches are seen in many patients who suffer from fibromyalgia.  Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome causes tremendous jaw-related facial pain. The problems are related to the muscles and ligaments surrounding the jaw joint. Sore jaw joints and surrounding muscles are also common with people who suffer from fibromyalgia.

 

Heightened sensitivity - It's common for people with fibromyalgia to report being sensitive to odors, noises, bright lights and touch.

 

Other common symptoms include painful periods, impaired coordination can occur, dizziness, dry eyes and mouth, skin sensitivities, swollen extremities, irritable bladder, muscle twitching, numbness and tingling sensations, memory impairment, morning stiffness, chest pain, and much more.

 The following factors are said to temporarily increase the suffering of fibromyalgia patients – increase in stress, physical activity, atmospheric pressure, lack of deep sleep, hunger, starvation, malnutrition, cold weather, infections, allergies, hormonal fluctuations, over exertion and more.    There are many support groups on the Internet that cater  to fibromyalgia sufferers.
