FIBROMYALGIA | Diagnosis, Home care & Homeopathy medicines
.jpg)
Fibromyalgia
is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by
fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia
amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain
signals.
We
have discussed the cause sign and symptoms of fibromyalgia in this last post.
Now let’s discuss about the diagnosis management and homeopathic medicines

How is Fibromyalgia Diagnosed?
There
is no a specific Blood test to diagnose FM. In most of the cases all blood
counts will be normal.
Still
it is better to do some blood tests to rule out some medical conditions like
Rheumatoid arthritis, SLE Etc.
The
American College of Rheumatology has established two criteria for diagnosing
fibromyalgia:
- A history of widespread pain that has
lasted over three months. Widespread means the pain affects the four parts
(quadrants) of your body - the left, right, top and bottom sides.
- The presence of tender points in 18 sites of the body. These sites are located at the back and front of the neck, between the neck and chest, just below the neck on the back, the knees, the inside of the elbows, just above the buttocks (where two dimples are usually located), just below the buttocks at the top of the back thighs at their furthest point from the crotch. At least 11 of these points need to be tender for a fibromyalgia diagnosis to be confirmed. For a point to be tender the patient should feel pain if 4gk of pressure is applied to it. It is possible that a fibromyalgia patient feels pain at other points - however, for a diagnosis to be confirmed tenderness needs to be limited to those 18 points (at least 11 of them).
Managing your fibromyalgia
It
is not so easy to diagnose this symptoms complex as Fibromyalgia. It is really hard to cure this disease as the
cause stays with your lifestyle-daily activities.
You
can manage the symptoms effectively with mild changes in your lifestyle. As I
mentioned above there is something wrong with your sleep, food and your behavior.
So you should gather information for stress relief and for a healthy diet. Let
me explain it in detail.
Reduce Stress
·
Avoid situations that cause stress.
·
Engage with activities that you love
·
Take time to relax. Learn relaxation
techniques
·
Meditate every day
Sleep well
·
Avoid caffeine especially before going to
bed
·
Go to bed early
·
Avoid alcoholics
·
Avoid exercising within 3 hours of bedtime
·
Avoid daytime naps
·
Keep
your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
·
Wind
down before bed. Avoid working right up to bedtime. Do relaxing activities,
such as listening to soft music or taking a warm bath, that get you ready to
sleep
Exercise regularly
·
Stretch when you wake up
·
Low impact aerobic exercises such as
walking swimming can be helpful.
·
Water aquatic exercises to be helpful
Although you may
experience a slight increase in pain and soreness when you start, as you
continue you will help lessen muscle tension and stiffness, improve sleep
quality, and raise serotonin and endorphin levels, helping to reduce pain.
Eat healthy
·
Eat a balanced diet
·
Eat citrus fruits like orange
·
Avoid coffee
·
Quit smocking
·
Avoid refined foods, such as white breads,
pastas, and sugar.
·
Use healthy cooking oils, such as olive oil
or vegetable oil.
·
Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily
Homeopathy for Fibromyalgia
Variousstudies have shown that homeopathy can treat fibromyalgia very effectively.
You
cannot take a homeopathic medicine without a homeopath’s advice.
There
are 100s of medicines in homeopathy which can be prescribed for Fibromyalgia.
After
calculating and summing your symptoms in mental physical and emotional planes a
qualified homeopath prescribes the remedy for your Fibromyalgia. Homeopathy
does not treat disease in man but man in disease.
One
should explain the past history of disease, work atmosphere and daily life
activities to the consulting homeopath.
Let
me list out some most prescribed homeopathic medicines here.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
