Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is an umbrella term that covers a group of symptoms including pain, tenderness and stiffness of joints and nearby structures. Muscles may also be affected by these symptoms. Systemic symptoms such as fatigue, depression and insomnia may also occur.

I usually find that treatment centers on dietary changes and nutritional supplements to supply the nutrients the body is missing in the daily diet. The modern diet most people consume is over-refined, stale and is lacking in these vital nutrients. The vitamins needed depend on the individual and can include A complex, B complex, C complex, calcium, magnesium and/or essential fatty acids (the good oils) - called essential because your body can't make them from other fats and relies on adequate dietary intake every day.

In some cases fibromyalgia is a result of blood sugar imbalance due to excessive intake of refined foods. In other cases it is the result of using synthetic B vitamins made from petrochemical derivatives like pharmaceuticals.
