vitamin and herbal sore not too far from us. In one of their news handouts, they had a brief article
which may or may not help you. I am only going to give you highlights.
Fibromyaglia may appear after the flu or traumatic event, although no one knows. Symptoms
include tender spots - particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, & hips. Although Fibromyaglia may
feel like arthritis, there is no joint deformity. "Instead, firbromyaglia is considered a form of
rheumatism, a general disease characterized by painful joints and muscles, made worse by damp
weather, and sometimes extending to the organs and heart. [Please note the quotation marks.]
Symptoms can include difficulty sleeping, waking up feeling tired, morning stiffness fatigue that
interferes with daily living, anxiety, and depression."
The following are some of their suggestions for improving life styles: Diet and supplements have
proven to be helpful. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) may be effective for anxiety, depression,
insomnia, and pain. "According to the Journal of Rheumatology, firbromyaglia suffers reported
significant reduction in pain using a combination of 300 mg to 600 mg per day of magnesium along
with 1,200 mg to 1,400 mg per day of malic acid. (See Ultra ATP at store at
www.immunesupport.com). I use it all the time for muscle pain, and it seems to help.) A 50 mg
B-complex vitamin supplement also appeared to boost energy. A study of 18 overweight women
with fibromyalgia ate a raw foods vegetarian diet consisting primarily of fruits, legumes, nuts, rolled
oats, seeds, and vegetables, as well as fermented foods, particularly cabbage. Participants
experienced a significant reduction in body weight, depression, morning stiffness, pain, the number
of sore points, and the use of painkillers. This was compared to 15 women who followed their
traditional diets."
I don't know if any of this will benefit you. However, it might give you another research site at
Rheumatology,
We've been doing more research on Fibromyalgia and will be doing a revision of
this page soon.
