    Pain of any etiology most importantly fibromyalgia , can be effectively managed by maintaining healthy lifestyle and ideal level of vitamin D around 40 ng plus intake of Magnesium supplements and
    B Vitamins and avoidance of SUGAR the main reason for inflammation. Thanks for the video ma'am.

    Thanks for the video! Do you plan to make one about ME/CFS? Would be interesting to hear your experience, especially with managing brain fog and pain.

    For years my drs insisted I had Fibromyalgia but I didn’t have the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Turns out I have Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease and Psoriatic Arthritis. Unfortunately, it took so many years to figure out and the damage is already done 😢

      May I know your symptoms relating to Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease, please?

      @@tanyaluchko9003 Severe hand pain and swelling (especially in the joints) in both hands. Fibromyalgia tends to move around and isn’t bilateral (both sides equally). Pain never moved and always in both hands. Finally tested my RNP and it was positive.

    How do I get a disability insurance company to stop harassing me with pharmacotherapy, CBT, mindfulness and other rehab that doesn’t work? I just want to do my little light stretches daily, rest and keep my energy to help my wife with house tasks? The insurance company is ruining my life because they will cut off my benefits if I don’t try their “treatment” attempts. They make me do literal workouts at a rehab center, which does make me feel good temporarily, but KILLS me an hour later at home to a point where I can’t do nothing else but cry in pain. It sounds like they don’t believe me. I’ve even took videos and they said I could’ve faked them!! I don’t know what to do. Please help.

      Best description I've heard is that we all have a ceiling to our pain and fatigue but some people that ceiling is much lower and then there are another subset of people who have a low ceiling but when they exercise too much that ceiling is lowered.

      If we ask an insurance company to pay our medical, we are enslaved to them and have to do it their way. If you want to be in charge of your body, find a cash pay provider and/or research the issues yourself. I fired my sugar-daddy a long time ago and have been finding much more effective treatments on my own.

    Could fibro be brought on by chemotherapy?

    • @lizhall2961
      @lizhall2961 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Chemo can cause neuropathy which can produce stabbing, pin and needles, numbess, and aching in extremeties. Nociplastic pain is a different mechanism. Environmental toxins can cause nociplastic pain. However, Nociplastic pain syndromes include particular fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, headache, complex regional pain syndrome, and idiopathic orofacial pain. Several mechanisms have been proposed to account for nociplastic pain including central sensitisation, alterations of pain modulatory controls, epigenetic changes, and peripheral mechanisms. Importantly, nociplastic pain might also be present in patients with cancer pain, particularly those with pain related to complications of cancer treatment. Increased awareness of nociplastic pain associated with cancer should have important implications for monitoring and managing such patients. So only a neurologist probably could distinquish between neuropathic pain or nociplastic pain.

    Fibromyalgia is the Palestinian of rheumatology. I have fibromyalgia and I will never talk to any dr. It hurts more to see rolling eyes then fibromyalgia pain.
