“Living With Fibromyalgia” is the first feature-length film about fibromyalgia, providing an honest, personal, and practical look at how to live with this chronic pain condition through profiles of seven patients and interviews with fibromyalgia experts. It’s told by the daughter of a fibromyalgia patient. It has been called a “milestone” for the fibromyalgia community and a “must-see” for fibromyalgia patients and those who love them by the President of the National Fibromyalgia Association, Lynne Matallana.

There is a treatment for Fibro and many other nervous system disorders. Please reseach the drug Low Dose Naltrexone. Loads of videos on Youtube. Watch the Dr Chris Steel Video on Youtube.
if anyone has the time please watch my story and suggest something to help me as mine is so severe I’m in a wheelchair.
HELP !
Unfortunately, one difficulty people have with understanding fibromyalgia is that it does not directly effect the muscles. No cellular damage takes place at all. The nerves themselves suffer the full blow directly. I’m 21 and have had fibromyalgia for about 2 1/2 years. In this time I’ve definitely noticed that the pain I feel from muscle problems is quite different and far less frequent than that which is caused by fibromyalgia.
If anybody suffers from this please get Dr. John Sarno’s book “The Divided Mind”. A neurosurgeon, 50 years practice and research, success rate extremely high. He says that stress, buried anger, buried emotional pain causes many of these type ailments, fibro, allergies, teeth grinding, neck pain, numbness, neck pain, back pain. Are you a perfectionist, driven, seek others approval, had a rough childhood, alcoholic parent. Read Sarno book please. It may help if it’s rings true for you. Good luck
Arrgh, “Pirate”-This keeps happening: I am deliberately replying to an earlier, SPECIFIC post, as in the case of my “friend”, Sexboywonder, of a month ago- I posted the “fallacy” comment directly within his, & it just comes up at the top, w/o any relevance for the reader, or the last Comment maker, in this case, YOU- who are taking offense for what, I can’t tell. I actually agree w/ your post, which I only just now saw after you (nearly) Flamed Up at me.
@LindazEyes thanks for the ad hominim attack Linda, its not like it takes the credibility of the content of my post away but for many people such a comment as yours DOES and you should be aware of that when calling attention to it.
Figure out which team you are playing for and kick the ball towards your opponents goal not your own got it?
THANK YOU
@happysad321 NEVER tell a Psychiatrist about Depression , or even a general practitioner- they will write off ALL YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS as PSYCHOLOGICAL – Send you to a Psychiatrist and you will be drugged and made worse
Reading through all of the comments I cannot believe how ignorant some people are…what would anyone benefit from lying about this? I am 21 and am miserable; I can very rarely be who I was a year ago and I hate this. There is no way I would make this up, I only wish it would go away. And I have been trying to describe how I feel psychologically – stressed, depressed, poor concentration etc but ‘brain fog’ is pretty good…I thought I was going mad with my poor concentration, memory loss etc!
“And that’s just got to be ok”. Wonder how.
The abreviations of Fibromyalgia Syndrome & Chronic Fatigue-Immune Deficiency Syndrome. I never had any luck at all w/ acupuncture, energy healing, etc., except to lighten my purse. If this turns out to have a viral basis, as new research may indicate (for CFIDS, but these 2 may be the same illness, after all.), you can ask yourselves what these other types of treatments have done for HIV, or H1N1, for instance. It would finally prove we’re not dealing w/ a lightweight illness here.
Fibromyalgia simply translates as muscle pain. For obvious reasons, that’s not nearly good enough & doesn’t even begin to address all the other nasties that go right along w/ this THING. Some people are rightly urging a name change to accurately reflect the more messed-up CNS, as well. Btw, anyone issuing a patient w/ the old “wastebasket dx” of FMS is hopelessly out of date & possibly creating a little “problem ” for themselves- & their Practice.
thats putting the cart before the horse as is often the case- most people suffer the symptoms first, then desperately need to find out what the cause of the problem is. the crazy thing here is that while western medicine constaly promotes the PHALLACY of “psychosomatic illness” they continually deny REike & Acupuncture because its not possible to heal the mind with out intensive alopathic treatment. because its not possible to heal the body with tme mind.- unless of course SSRIs are involved.
im sorry whats FMS and CFIDS . please?`thanks
Thats what ive been saying for years – unfortunately it is a very grim vantagne point to have to stand in as well –
unfortunately some how in this situation i am trapped. ill keep trying but theres no light at the end just yet
What kind of so-called dr. would insult you w/o even ruling out other causes, at least, if they don’t know the proper way to dx for FMS?! Quacks? I’m sorry; it’s very immature, I know, but I can’t relate to “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy”- I most certainly would , cos that’s the ONLY way some people will ever “get it” (understand & believe).
The neurological condition that manifests most obviously w/ allover pains & severe fatigue was likely first recorded by a medical doctor in Scotland in the 1800′s- FMS/CFIDS now shows on brain scans in research, & anybody who thinks it’s psychosomatic isn’t “thinking” at all.
dont be s tupid and shovel SSRIs into your body you bloody fool
look into candidiasis if you havent already it COULD be an underlying factor- you have to do your own resarch and its long and painful but drugs like this are only masking symptoms
clearly what ever your problem is seems systemic
stablisters in drugs can worsen the actual problem while masking the symptoms
thanks ill ask my dr they all say “psychosomatic” before asking questions or performing tests i hope they suffer these sysmtoms and loose their jobs as well
(And, even if someone DID create the word “fibromyalgia” to describe something he couldn’t otherwise explain… we’re still using the word in some cases for that reason. We can’t explain it, but we know it’s causing a lot of real problems no matter what the source. FMS sufferers, I hope you don’t let hateful people tell you that what you battle daily ~ HOURLY for some of you ~ is make believe. <3)
I try to stay out of internet debates, especially on YouTube, but I just have to reply here.
Whittvet, and others who say that maybe it’s “real” for some & “psychological” for others, I really hope you’ll consider something. If pain is “in someone’s head” ~ if it’s a chemical or neurological condition that is making the person feel phantom pain or something ~ there is still PAIN. Sometimes excruciating, devastating levels of pain. So try to redefine what’s “real”, if it’s within your capacity.
Whittvet, Here is an interesting thought for you. If someone in authority tells someone that they have a disease or condition even if it is not real people can beging developing symptoms due to the power of the mind. I do wonder if big pharma advertising in not actually “creating” condtions and diseases. Why, so they can sell more drugs. With that aside, I do think some people do really have a neurological condition most likely due to a trauma to the spine that manifest as fibromyalgia or CFS.
I do believe that upper cervical spine care is a benefit to many people. However, I maintain that fibromyalgia is more psychological than real. The man who “discovered” fibro even stated that it was false and that he had to “come up with something”.
IIt is real atleast with some. I can feel the knots in their arm and legs. I also have seen many have help and relief.
Not to mention, many have been in accidents and traumas that have affected their spine and more importantly their upper cervical spine. This makes perfect sense. If you would like to know a little more about upper cervical care send me a message on here. There are very few docs that take the extra training for this procedure so let me know so I can verify.
As a lifelong sufferer w/ others in family, too w/ it, I could write volumes. For now, this bit may help: On Oct.9, ’09, Reuters reports that the journal Science reports a virus called XMRV has been found in a majority of people w/ the related Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. NOT proof yet of cause, but a crucial new link that gives more hope than all the useless supplements & junk we are are subjected to in our desperate search for relief. Please tie a knot & hang on. Real answers ARE in the works.<3
