Fibromyalgia

I am a cordinator for a group of Ayurvedic yogis who is specialized in health, harmony and hope. As they don't have many communication with outside world, I help them to mediate. They have a mission to educate and eradicate the world of this unnecessary fibromyalgia pain. In Ayurveda, fibromyalgia is known as Mansa dhatugat mansavrut vata..it is described as vata imbalance, vata aggravated destablize the nervous system and can create hypersensitivity and tenderness of muscles. Accumulation of AMA or toxins and shorotorodha are also contributory factors. Panchakarma is an effective treatment. Their treatment last from 14 to 21 days, no surgery, external and internal medication. If you want to know more about the treatments, we will help you...

Hello, my name is Ruth. I am writing to hopefully get any new insights to the long suffering symptoms of fibromylagia. I was diagnosed with fibromylagia in the year 1991. I am still suffering from muscle pain seventeen years later. I live in the United States and am fortuate to have health care insurance. I am grateful for having access to health care to treat various medical conditions; sarcoidosis; hyperparathroidism; graves disease; situational depression lymphocytosis and fibromylagia. However, it is the fibromyalgia that I have suffered the most and the longest. In 1991 after becoming ill with flu like symptoms, I began having severe joint pain in my elbows. The pain shifted from my elbows to my neck and shoulders. The pain in the muscles in my neck and shoulders felt like an electrical shock was traveling up and down both sides of my neck; continuously. I was 30 years old, just graduated from college, was soley responsible for my 3 young children and felt like I was dying. I cryed constantly and wasn't even able to take off my blouses. My young daughter would have to help me when I needed to dress and undress. Having no medical insurance at the time, I went from one medi-cal doctor to the next, until one doctor referred me to The University of California, Davis Hospital, where I was given a complete physical, including blood tests. The blood tests came back showing a false-positive for lupus. However, the physicians concluded from my symptoms, that I had fibromylagia. I was overjoyed, because there was an explanation for my intense muscle pain and I wasn't making it all up in my head. I was given literature on what fibromyalgia was. At that time, they explained the condition as a sleeping disorder, where the body was deprived of the rest needed to repair muscle cells. In other words, people with fibromylagia did not fall into REM sleeping pattern. I was give Amitriptyline, a class of triyclic antidepressants. I became very discourged when I was told I would be taking a medicine for depression. I wasn't depressed, I was in pain! I became more confused than ever. I tryed taking the drug, amitripyline, for about three months but stopped due to the effects; amitriptyline made me feel like a zombie. Seventeen years have passed and I still suffer from muscle pain, literally, from my head to toes. I have had remissions throughout the 17 years. What helps me the most is frequent spa baths, ice/cold therapy, muscle massages; in my neck, back and shoulders only. There are areas of my body that are ultra sensitive to touch.
Stretching also aleivates the muscle pain however, the urge to stretch intensely often leads to muscle strain.

At this time in my life, being 51 years old, I am searching for alternative treatments for my pain and suffering. I believe that pain and suffering can and does effect the emotional well-being of a human being. I have always had a deep faith in God and believe that God has helped me endure my pain and suffering throughout the many years of experiencing physical pain. Now I am looking for remedies and guidence in Eastern medicine as well as
Eastern philosophy. I look forward for anyone to post comments about their experience, strength and hope living with fibromyalgia.

Love & Peace
Ruth
