What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is an illness with multiple symptoms that may be mild in the early stages, but progress to severe in the late stages. Myofascial pain syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic candidiasis, vulvar pain syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome are really part of the fibromyalgia disease complex.

Fibromyalgia has no set symptoms, and patients can have all or any combination thereof. Listed here are the most common:

• Central Nervous System: Fatigue, irritability, nervousness, depression, impaired memory and concentration, anxiety, insomnia. 
• Musculoskeletal: Pain and generalized morning stiffness in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the shoulders, neck, back, hips, thighs knees, ankles, feet, elbows, wrists, fingers, and chest. Joint pains, foot or calf cramps, numbness and tingling in the face or extremities. 
• Irritable Bowel: Also called spastic colon, mucous colitis, or leaky gut. Symptoms include nausea, indigestion, gas, bloating, pain, cramps, constipation alternating with diarrhea. 
• Genito-urinary: Frequent urination, bladder spasms, pungent urine, burning urination. Vulvodynia (vulvar pain syndrome) includes vaginal spasms, irritation, and painful intercourse. Intense PMS and uterine cramping are common. Symptoms of fibromyalgia are worse premenstrually. 
• Dermatological: Various rash may appear with or without itching. Hives, red blotches, itchy bumps or blisters, eczema, seborrhea, and rosacea. Nails are often brittle and hair falls out prematurely. Strange sensation are common such as cold, heat (especially palms, soles and thighs), crawling, electric vibrations, and super-sensitivity to touch. 
• Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat: Headaches, dizziness, vertigo or imbalance; dry eyes, itching and burning with or without crusty discharge upon awakening, blurred vision, nasal congestion and post nasal drip, painful burning tongue and mouth, abnormal tastes (scalded, bad, metallic) ringing in ears, sensitivity to light, sounds, and odors. 
• Hypoglycemic Syndrome: This is a separate entity. Thirty percent of female and twenty percent of male fibromyalgics suffer both conditions. Sugar craving accompanied by tremors, sweating, anxiety, panic attacks, heart pounding, faintness and frontal headache.

Why Conventional Medicine, Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments, Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, and Numerous Herbal Remedies May Only Provide Temporary Relief?

“I have two herniated discs in my lower back and had pain going down both legs. The medications and injections that my doctor gave he helped somewhat, but the treatment that I have been getting here has really made a big difference. The pain in my legs is gone. I highly recommend Dr. Tarcha & their staff of caring doctors.”–Laura McSherry, Artist, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Patients with fibromyalgia go from one doctor to another, hoping to find a cure for their disease, only to be disappointed. Most family physicians are not trained to know the complexities of fibromyalgia and thus focus on the symptoms, prescribing ineffective or toxic medications. They prescribe NSAID’s, narcotics, analgesics, and mood altering drugs such as Prozac. Some medications may help reduce the severity of the symptoms, however in many cases the patient’s condition is made worse by further depressing the patient’s nervous system, causing more fatigue and mental confusion. The result is that patients are even less able to control their lives than they were before the treatment.

Chiropractic Doctors relieve their patient’s muscle pain with spinal adjustments, massage, and physiotherapy. These treatments can be helpful, but usually provide temporary relief for this condition. Nutritional supplements are good for general health, but may only give temporary relief for some of the symptoms. The cause of the disease in conjunction with alleviating the symptoms, must be the focus of the treatment, in order to give patients lasting relief.
