Fibromyalgia is a condition notoriously difficult to diagnose and cope with, and occurs mainly in women. It is characterized by the presence of pain throughout the body, and a heightened pain response to normally non-painful stimuli (called Allodynia). Fibromyalgia sufferers often experience sleep problems and general fatigue.
The precise cause of fibromyalgia has not been identified. Possible contributors include physical trauma, an acute period of stress, lyme disease, and immune-related conditions like lupus or arthritis. In fact, fibromyalgia is often referred to as an arthritis-related condition.
Anti-depressants, muscle relaxants, and pain medications are routinely prescribed to help sufferers cope with fibromyalgia. Recently, the FDA approved Lyrica, a nerve-pain drug, as a treatment for fibromyalgia. Because the skin may be unusually sensitive, many living with the condition use special mattress covers and wear clothing made from softer fabrics. The most highly-recommended alternative treatments among DailyStrength members are heat and aqua therapy. Finding sources of emotional support, such as group counseling or online forums, can help to relieve feelings of isolation and loneliness.
In DailyStrength's fibromyalgia support group, communicating with others who have this condition can help in understanding and feeling more positive about recovery. By learning what has helped others, you can often help yourself.
For more information, the following resources may be helpful. Feel free to discuss what you discover in DailyStrength's Fibromyalgia Support Forum.
