For those who don’t understand fibromyalgia
What you need to know about fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is not a new disease.In 1815, a surgeon at the University of Edinburgh, William Balfour, described fibromyalgia.Over time, it was described as chronic arthritis, myalgia, or fibrositis. Unlike diseases, syndromes such as fibromyalgia have no known cause, but are a set of signs and symptoms that, unfortunately, for the patient are present at the same time. Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus are also syndromes. Most of the symptoms and emotional problems associated with fibromyalgia are not psychological in origin. This is not an…
Read More9 Diseases That Can Mimic Fibromyalgia (and Delay Your Diagnosis)
While no one knows what exactly causes fibromyalgia, doctors do know a few things about the condition: The widespread chronic pain disorder seems to involve the nervous system; affects 2 to 4 percent of Americans, mostly women; and commonly occurs in people who have other types of musculoskeletal pain, such as different kinds of arthritis.

EpicGenetics and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are launching a Phase II clinical trial to test a tuberculosis vaccine, BCG, as a potential treatment for fibromyalgia. Bruce Gillis, chief executive officer of EpicGenetics Fibromyalgia is a condition marked by widespread pain and sensitivity to touch.

Read MoreCannabis Pain Patch For Fibromyalgia And Nerve Pain relief
Cannabis for fibromyalgia & nerve pain Fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy have a couple of things in common. Both conditions involve seemingly unexplainable pain, tingling, and can drastically reduce your quality of life. Early research suggests that cannabis may have powerful therapeutic effects for both conditions, and this new pain patch offers a novel new approach for conditions that are incredibly difficult to treat.

Read MoreDoctors of fibromyalgia warn: ‘Tramadol is killing more lives than any other drug’
The tramadol prescription painkiller that hundreds of thousands of people take each day is killing more people than any other drug, including heroin and cocaine. The analgesic does not cause harm if it is taken correctly, but it becomes very dangerous when mixed with other drugs or alcohol. Last year there were 33 deaths in Northern Ireland related only to Tramadol. Among the dead was a 16-year-old girl and a 70-year-old retiree. The opioid-based medication is used to treat moderate or severe pain and should only be taken with a prescription. In 2014 it…

Fibromyalgia is a unique disease in which many people, including doctors, believe that we are inventing it. In your mind, fibromyalgia does not exist. Everything is in our heads. We need advice, or we are looking for drugs. People who live with fibromyalgia are often treated as depressed vagus looking for opiates. A conversation with a new doctor can be like this: Doctor: “What brings you to the office today?” Patient: “I hope you can treat my…

Read MoreNew Research Finally Solves the ‘Fibromyalgia Mystery’?
What’s True A 2013 study published in Pain Medicine studied the hands of 24 female patients and discovered an excess number of specific nerves surrounding a specific kind of blood vessel, hinting at a possible physical and identifiable cause for the disease. What’s False The study is no longer new, despite its having been billed as such for the past five years, nor has it changed the prevailing scientific view about the disease, which most argue is caused by an heightened sensitization of the nervous system. Since at least June 2013,…

Fibromyalgia is a very common chronic pain syndrome that mainly affects women between the ages of 20 and 50. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases estimates that five million people in the United States have fibromyalgia.
