Fibromyalgia

Managing Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome


Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are three problems that can have devastating consequences for people, and bring many changes in lifestyle as well as with interpersonal relationships. They are all problems that physicians are only beginning to understand and although there are many millions of people suffering from these disorders, there are only recently a few new medical approaches and medications that show promise. Unfortunately treatments are effective for only some sufferers. Most people who have these disorders cobble together multiple sources of treatment including things such as medications, supplements, exercise if possible, and nontraditional treatments such as massage, acupuncture, or other approaches.  Often treatments are only partially effective if at all, and a lot of times frustration can set in followed by feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.
