Living With Fibromyalga!




Work Around These Disabilities make them Abilities! See my Mom was diagoised with Fibromyalgia when I was a Teenager. They didn't know as much about it as they do now. Watching my mom suffer with it was hard and she always tried not to let it get her down. She still worked every day then would rest when she came home. My sister and I would clean the house for her.

I have learned through my moms experience you can live life arond the pain and enjoy life, don't let it change who you are. You can live life with out a bunch of pills, they are not the answer because they mask the symptoms.

These are the symptoms of Fibromyalgia; is a chronic disorder characterized by extreme pain and tenderness in multiple muscles and joints.

The worst part about fibromyalgia is the pain is not localized to specific joints. The pain is felt "all over," spreading out from the spine over large areas of the body, especially in the lower back and arms. The pain can vary from muscle twitching to a burning sensation. People with fibromyalgia are susceptible to other chronic painful conditions such as Osteoarthritis and Migraines.

The pain can vary, depending on the time of day, weather changes, physical activity, and the presence of Stressful situations.

The term fibromyalgia means pain in fibrous and muscular tissues. The pain occurs in areas where the muscles attach to bone or ligaments and is similar to the pain of Arthritis.

Fibromyalgia was originally named fibrositis. Fibromyalgia pain continues throughout a person's lifetime.

There are many symptom
s and everyone that has fibromyalgia will not experience the same symptoms. Symptoms of fibromyalgia can occur anywhere between 20-55 years of age. Pain is the most prominent symptom. I was diagnoised in 2001 and I also have Osteoarthritis.

I have learned to work around my disabilities by learning what I can and cannot do to control my pain all without any medications. If the pain gets to unbearable for me I rest, drink a glass of Red Wine and take a hot bath. I keep my stress level down by Praying and God has realy helped me a lot.

Fallow your goals and dreams just break your day into time of rest and time of work. I believe that the level of pain is different for everyone because of what kinds of Accidents and Trauma you have experenced in your life. I did find out that you inherrit this from your mothers genes and 1% of men can inherrit this but it mostly is affected in Women.

Researchers are unsure of what causes fibromyalgia. Researchers have found elevated levels of a nerve chemical signal, called substance P, and nerve growth factor in the spinal fluid of fibromyalgia patients. Fibromyalgia is sometimes triggered by a traumatic event or Accident.

If you have Fibromyalgia there is Hope, break your day into times of Rest, Light Work and Family time. Pray and God will help you. I have also research different Herbal vitimans that help me like natural muscle relaxers; Valerine Root is the best, White Grape Seed is also Great and I also take White Oak Bark.

With these three Herbs I have been able to keep pain under control along with breaking my day down into Time for Rest, Time for Work and Time for Family. I Pray and this helps keep stress away.
