Your doctor has ordered test after test, but the tests don't show anything specifically wrong with you.
Is it chronic fatigue syndrome? Depression? Lyme disease? Lupus? Could it be FIBROMYALGIA?
It
is estimated that 5 million Americans suffer with this mysterious
condition, which overwhelmingly affects women between the ages of 20 and
60. It's not unusual for some patients to see as many as 10 doctors before finally discovering the cause of their pain.
And according to one estimate, it takes an average of 5 years after the onset of symptoms for a fibromyalgia patient to get an accurate diagnosis and start receiving appropriate treatment.
But there is GOOD NEWS:
While fibromyalgia is chronic and can be debilitating, it's not
progressive or life-threatening. And there are a number of treatments-
both pharmacological and non-pharmacological- that can help you manage
your condition and live an active life.
If
you're reading this now, you've probably received a diagnosis of
fibromyalgia — or have symptoms tha tmake you suspect that you have it.
You need the most current, reliable information on the most successful fibromyalgia treatment options available to you, so you can make the best informed decisions possible about your future.
Knowledge is key when it comes to treating fibromyalgia successfully.
Your pain is real . . . It's NOT all in your head!
Tired
of hearing that you're imagining your pain?For years, fibromyalgia was
considered a purely psychological condition.Now physicians understand
that fibromyalgia involves the central nervous system. Yes, the brain
controls the central nervous system, butt his does not mean that
symptoms are "all in your head."
Physicians
have been reporting symptoms of fibromyalgia since the 1800s,but it's
only in the past few decades that the medical community has come to
recognize and understand fibromyalgia as a unique condition.
I
personally have found that a change in my eating habits and sleeping
habits in conjunction with proper nutrition (Zija) have been the key to
the improvement I have seen over the past year with my fibromyalgia.
