Finding the right Fibromyalgia treatment is important if you want to achieve complete healing. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are painful conditions and the intensity of pain varies from patient to patient and from day to day. It is possible to find a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome treatment and a Fibromyalgia treatment. The most obvious difference between Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia is the difference in pain level. Most Fibromyalgia sufferers experience chronic fatigue, but not all chronic fatigue sufferers experience full body pain. Fibromyalgia Medications: An optional Fibromyalgia treatment is over the counter pain medications such as Tylenol, Aleve, Motrin or Advil may work temporarily to take the edge off the pain ridden body. Unfortunately they are not as effective, especially since a Fibromyalgia sufferer feels more like they are bruised all over the body. Therefore, doctors often prescribe other medications such as antidepressants in combination with over the counter medications. Part of your fibromyalgia treatment plan might be to include antidepressants such as Cymbalta or Savella. Doctors may also prescribe anti-seizure drugs such as Neurontin or Lyrica. Since I have personally suffered from Fibromyalgia for many years and now have been symptom free for over ten years, I strongly urge people not to overload their already confused nervous system with a temporary band-aid such as medication. Especially since I was successfully able to heal myself from the inside out with alternative and natural methods. To read my full story or get my book visit my website at www.inspirationtolive.com. Self-Help: Other Fibromyalgia treatment options are to include pain therapy, which is what my doctor prescribed many years ago. He said that learning how to manage pain was crucial since this condition is chronic and there are no cures. Personally I refused to believe that there are no cures for this condition, and I'm glad I did (because I was right). There is a cure. Part of your Fibromyalgia treatment plan might be to receive individual counseling. Talking to someone about the challenges this condition brings can help, but only temporarily. In my book I talk about the importance to stop talking about the condition. The more you talk about it, the more you feed its energy. Instead talk about the good days ahead and what you're planning to do when your completely healed and in better shape than ever. Physical Therapy and gentle massages may also become part of your Fibromyalgia treatment plan. It is important that you stay away from the general massages such as deep tissue or Swedish massages. They are simply too harsh for your inflamed nerves. Instead you may settle and enjoy a lymphatic massage. Lifestyle Changes: an important process to include in your Fibromyalgia treatment plan is to add a gentle and enjoyable exercise program. I can't stress this enough. It was the last thing I had energy for, the last thing I wanted to do because every step was painful. Now in hindsight it was the one thing that propelled me forward towards healing Fibromyalgia once and for all. It's important that you are gentle with yourself and there is no need to get yourself onto a black, double diamond ski slope packed with moguls; it would only make things worse. Gentle walking and light, light weight lifting to start can work wonders. The key is consistency. And most importantly - your diet. I explain in my book what foods to avoid and what foods to add and I am sharing a few of them with you here. While your body is battling this condition it is important to stay away from white sugars. White sugar is a natural inflammatory, which is the exact opposite of what your Fibromyalgia treatment plan needs to entail. Sugar unfortunately can be found in anything: sodas, wine, ketchup, etc. You must temporarily give up all white sugars if you want complete healing from fibromyalgia. If you must use a sweetener in your tea you can try using alternatives such as blue agave nectar or stevia. Another important food group to avoid is dairy. There are a few expections such as real butter. I grew up on a farm in the Swiss mountains and dairy, cheese, butter and cream were part of our daily menu. I couldn't have imagined a day without one of them. For a Fibromyalgia sufferer, however, dairy is a natural clogger and serves almost like a glue within the nerves of your body. There are many, many other things you can add to your Fibromyalgia treatment plan. I talk about it in my book and on my website at www.inspirationtolive.com. And I will continue posting articles here and on my blog. Join my newsletter and learn even more. I can promise you one thing - there is hope because there is a cure and the cure is within you! I am living proof.
