As a result of these immune changes, immunotherapy can lead to decreased, minimal or no allergy symptoms when you are exposed to the allergen(s) included in the allergy...

Joining a fibromyalgia support group can be excellent psychological and emotional therapy. However, talking and sharing your experiences with others is not likely to take away any of the painful physical symptoms or fatigue you feel. Therefore, many fibromyalgia sufferers need to turn to alternative and medical remedies to find relief from their symptoms.

While the cause of fibromyalgia is not agreed upon in the medical community, belief that it derives from an oxygen metabolism dysfunction is mounting. The various proposed hypotheses about fibromyalgia's origin are varied, ranging from an infectious viral agent to a sleep disorder to an emotional disturbance. From an atomic perspective, the smallest building blocks of life, all of the proposed theories behind fibromyalgia genesis can be understood. A system that isn't metabolizing oxygen (the basis of life) properly, can manifest as fibromyalgia through each of the proposed causes. Humans metabolize oxygen from air, food and water to create energy and fuel all body processes. According to some...

Pittsfield Chiropractor, Dr. Scott Garber, doesn't want to offer Fibromyalgia sufferers false hope. However, he has developed a chiropractic treatment that has been successful in treating his Fibromyalgia patients in a matter of days. Fibromyalgia, according to Dr. Garber, is a condition related to spinal malfunction, which is actually a choking off of the spinal cord structures, but not so much the spinal cord as the meninges; the coverings of the spinal cord itself which in turn causes distress. Although Fibromyalgia is defined as a chemical imbalance causing hypersensitivity in the nervous system that amplifies pain, the symptoms go far beyond just a chemical imbalance and pain, according to Dr...

Sinus cavities, though they are located in the head, open up in the nasal passages for free exchange of air and mucus. This is how the sinus allergy causes come into play, enter the nasal cavity and often cause sinusitis. Sinus allergy causes can be many and varied. It can range from the pollen of flowers, dust, dirt, pollution etc. These sinus allergy cause the nasal cavity to become blocked. When the mucus cannot flow freely anymore, it becomes stuck inside the nasal cavity and that becomes a perfect breeding ground for allergies.

An autoimmune disease is where your body attacks itself. Whether it is attacking your nervous system, brain, or thyroid gland, it is eating away at healthy tissue. A majority of my fibromyalgia patients suffer from some sort of immune system dysfunction. What is scarier, about 90% suffer an autoimmune dysfunction! Let me take you through a quote-unquote "normal" autoimmune patient (not everyone fits this description, but the mechanism of how your body responds is all the same). This person was one that suffered multiple ear infections as a child, was put on tons of anti-biotics. As they got older their parents always took them to the doctor when they got sick, getting more anti-biotics as well. The...

> Those of us that have a chronic illness often define ourselves by that illness. Rather than focusing on that illness, this article encourages readers to think about themselves as strong and healthy individuals and to watch what they think and how they form their identity. I want to talk to you about your thoughts behind having a chronic illness like fibromyalgia and how getting labeled with fibromyalgia, having to deal with it daily, and having everyone tell you there is no cure can set you back. In my blog I've stated that I don't believe you should accept that you have fibromyalgia and try to live with it. In doing that, you will always have it! Rather, accept that you can, do, and deserve to...

> Dr. Tami Brady (2009) Just as visible light can be differentiated into differing colors, Reiki can be subdivided into particular frequencies with perceptible changes. For instance, the wavelength that we call Sei Heki is quite cool to the touch, a little like a spring breeze. Conversely, another Reiki wavelength that we call Choku Rei is warm and comforting. In the original form of Reiki, Usui Reiki Ryoho, four healing frequencies were used. Over time, other wavelengths have been added. Some of these energies are simply the amalgamation of frequencies already known from other healing traditions. Others have been discovered by practitioners in a variety of different ways. Today, when you go for a...

The basic things about the information is all of them are just theories as of now. Each and every day we get more information on fibromyalgia and its causes. This isn't surprising to me, since fibromyalgia was only coined in the 1980s and even today, many supposed professionals in the medical community still don't recognize this disorder as anything other than "mental" in origin. This never fails to surprise me. Surely these doctors hear first-hand what many of my clients relay to me. They have chronic (lasting longer than two weeks) pain, overwhelming fatigue or a combination of both. This, in turn, affects not just themselves but their families. Imagine that even the simplest chores around the...

Copyright (c) 2008 Hailey Harris Fibromyalgia is a disorder where patients suffer from chronic muscle pain and tactile allodynia. In severe cases, allodynia becomes so serious that even being touched by the clothes the patient is wearing causes pain. This disorder also causes 'tender joints', or in other words pain on tender points on the body which includes the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms or legs. These parts hurt when they are even touched tenderly. Fibromyalgia also makes the patients suffer from fatigue, sleeping disorders, morning stiffness, severe headaches and sometimes neuropsychiatric problems which include cognitive dysfunction, depressive symptoms and anxiety.

It is a widespread misbelief that people troubled with fibromyalgia could simply see their doctor, have an examination and maybe have various lab tests run, get a pinpointed diagnosis and then head off to the pharmacy to get a prescription drug which will make them better once again. The reality for the fibromyalgia sufferer is somewhat different. She may call on her doctor, but instead of obtaining a precise diagnosis, the chances are very good that the doctor will be fairly surprised at the range of symptoms. While it is acknowledged that more women than men are affected by this illness, the certainties end at this point. Furthermore, there is no medicine or mixture of presently available...

As one of the leading alternative therapies, acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile needles into the skin. In acupuncture theory, the primary reason for pain and illness is congested energy (qi). Congested qi and its human repercussions are analogous to a heavy storm's debris clogging a creek's thoroughfare, preventing water flow downstream of the obstruction. To initiate qi's unobstructed movement, acupuncture needles are strategically placed in the body. Acupuncturists aim to free any blocked qi (the most common cause of pain), which ensures optimal health. Used as a primary healthcare method for over 5,000 years, acupuncture has a lot to offer people suffering from fibromyalgia. Many...

That burning skin sensation is so awful. I'll tell you what it is and how you can help relieve it. It's not just a fibromyalgia symptom. Anyone can get it. Burning skin is generally caused by denervation. In fibromyalgia, this can be caused when a nerve that travels between or through muscles gets pinched or compressed by the muscles. The muscles might pinch or compress a nerve when they are chronically tight and tensed and full of trigger points. So, if the main nerve gets compressed and the brain loses signals from it, what it does is tell all the other tiny nerves in the area to become hypersensitve so that it can still pick up signals from this area. When all the nerves in an area become...
