Fibromyalgia is one condition, among many, that I am so grateful I don’t have. I can’t even imagine the challenges sufferers have to contend with while being in pain many days on end. Trying to experience a normal life of learning, fun, work, family, friends, love, responsibility, and joy must be as tough emotionally as physically when pain is your consistent companion.
Fibromyalgia is a health condition that causes chronic, body-wide pain and soreness in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissue. Fibromyalgia is also linked to sleep issues, exhaustion, depression, and anxiety. People with fibromyalgia may feel almost “normal” on some days. Other days, they may find it hard to do the simplest tasks.
The cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but it’s thought to be related to changes in the way the brain processes pain messages. Physical or emotional stress may play a part. Painful events, repetitive stress injuries, and sickness may be causes. Women are more likely to get fibromyalgia than men, however men and children can also have this condition.
Symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
Some people with fibromyalgia also may have:
Bio-Touch has been shown to relieve symptoms related to fibromyalgia. While not a substitute for standard medical care, Bio-Touch is an effective complement to medical protocols. Family members and friends can learn to help each other feel better using Bio-Touch, without being concerned about negative side effects.
