Fibromyalgia, Fact or Fiction?
According to the American College of Rheumatology,
“Fibromyalgia is described as a "central sensitization syndrome" caused by neurobiological abnormalities which act to produce physiological pain and cognitive impairments as well as neuro-psychological symptomatology.”
Lots of big words that don’t mean much!
The term ‘fibromyalgia’ was introduced in 1976. This word is derived from the Latin root fibro (fibrous tissue) and the Greek roots myo (muscles) and algos (pain). So in other words, the name means painful muscles and ligaments. It does not tell us what has caused the pain or how to treat it!
It is basically a diagnosis given by doctors when they do not know what else to call it, and the main stay of medical treatment is to put sufferers on pain medications such as opioids, anti-depressants (Prozac), and anti-convulsants (Lyrica).
The BIG question remains, ‘How Do We Effectively Treat Fibromyalgia?’

The Energy Factory in the Cell Needs the Correct Fuel to Run Effectively.
In the diagram to the right is a picture of the energy cycle in the cell. Yes it’s complicated, but what I want you to observe are the vitamin and minerals in the blue rectangles that have to be there for each stage of energy production. Mg=magnesium, B vitamins, Fe=iron, Mn=manganese, etc.
Many people don’t realise, diets high in carbohydrates or comprising takeaway foods are often missing essential nutrients to run the energy factory in the cells. Muscles get tired and knot up, energy wains. Our brain can’t work properly leading to sleep disturbance, brain fog or a lack of concentration.
This is where the smart practitioner becomes the detective to find out what is missing and why essential nutrients are not getting to their mark. How good is your diet?
