I was diagnosed 12 years ago with chronic pain syndrome. When I changed doctors I had what seemed like a heart attack, but all was fine apart from very high blood pressure. My new doctor however thinks the pain I have is most likely fibromyalgia as I have almost all the symptoms i.e. sleep problems, depression, bowel problems and severe debilitating pain. I can do very little for myself and at 54 hope to recover one day. Is this possible? And will I work again?
People do recover from fibromyalgia but not simply by taking medicines for the symptoms, whether conventional or natural.
A more comprehensive approach is needed in order to identify and address the most aggravating factors.
So, a diet low in magnesium, poor sleep, low mood or poor circulation would all be common things to address in people with fibromyalgia.
Many people see disease as the pain they suffer, whereas that is just an outcome.
You can find lots of help and advice by reading through my fibromyalgia pages.
Best wishes
Earle
