Fibromyalgia - The "Invisible Illness"
Almost 16 million North Americans suffer from fibromyalgia (FM), a multi-system disorder and common rheumatic syndrome often referred to as the “invisible illness” because of the diffculty in diagnosing it. The name fibromylagia is rooted in Latin: fibro, meaning supportive tissue; myo, for muscle; and algia for pain. The hallmark of fibromyalgia is widespread pain throughout the muscles, stiffness and chronic aching. It affects women more than men, and usually strikes between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It accounts for 15 to 30 percent of all visits to rheumatologists. The pain of FM is thought to be caused by a tightening and thickening of the thin film of tissue that holds muscles together. A diagnosis of FM will be confirmed if your doctor finds pain or tenderness in 11 out of 18 trigger points located in the knees, hips, rib cage, shoulder and neck. What causes Fribromyalgia?
No one cause can be pinpointed but it is believed that multiple stressors, a traumatic emotional or physical event and depressive episodes that upset the functioning of the immune system contribute to the disorder. It is suspected that a connection lies between FM and chronic fatigue. Viruses may have a hand in it, such as Epstein-Barr virus or fungus like Candida albicans. New research is showing that undetected Lyme disease may be the root cause. Heavy metal and chemical toxicity, as well as nutritional deficiencies, are major players in the progression of FM. Physicians must peel away the causal layers of each symptom and treat each symptom individually in order to eliminate the disorder. What are the symptoms?
No two sufferers are the same but symptoms can include:
- Allergies
- Anxeity
- Fatigue
- Dysmenorrhea
- Stiffness
- Swollen Joints
- Total body aches & pain
- Depression
- Sleep Disturbances
- Skin tender to touch
- Headaches
- Mood swings
- Inability to exercise, etc. Dietary & Lifestyle Support for FM
Dietary approaches to fibromyalgia have several components. Most people’s diets cause their tissues to be acidic. In order to buffer the acid essential minerals are stripped from the body. The first step is to cleanse the body of accumulated acids and toxins. An alkaline diet will help to prevent worsening of symptoms and maintain a proper mineral balance (see Acid/Alkali balance section). A digestive enzyme should be supplemented to ensure that food is broken down properly. Avoid consuming coffee and black tea both of which deplete minerals. Avoid consuming any food that you are sensitive to. Do not eat from the nightshade family (green peppers, eggplant, potatoes and tomatoes). They contain solanine that interferes with the muscle’s enzyme system, causing pain. In addition to an alkaline diet the following foods should be increased: pineapple, ginger, turmeric, alfalfa, fibre, such as flax seeds, and ocean-going fish, for their essential fatty acids. Stress reduction techniques such as deep breathing exercises and moderate physical activity can decrease fibromyalgia symptoms. Copper bracelets can be worn around the wrist to produce a whole body anti-inflammatory effect. Topically, juniper or St. John’s wort oil can be rubbed into the painful area. Hydrotherapy with warm compresses or baths can provide relief. Information provided by Preferred Nutrition’s website.
