Fibromyalgia
The most important thing to say about Fibromyalgia is that despite what your doctor may have told you about it being incurable, it is possible to return to a life without it. Not every time or with every single person but often enough to say that Fibromyalgia can be treated, and a return to normal pain free life is possible. This means it goes away and doesn't come back except for an occasional episode that would be considered normal in the general population. This should be the intended end goal with everyone without exception. Contact Ilona on 03 343 4334 today to discuss YOUR healing journey.

Some commonly asked questions about Fibromyalgia answered:
How does a person get Fibromyalgia?
There is always a precipitating event or circumstances even when the person does not recall it. Fibromyalgia can result from trauma such as accidents, surgeries, giving birth, lifting. It can be stress based, toxicity based, genetic, or a result of infection, mold, viruses, Lyme, parasites. Sleep deprivation for any reason is also a factor.
What are usually the first signs of Fibromyalgia?
The onset of Fibromyalgia tends to be gradual, first signs often being profound fatigue and sleep disturbances, followed by stiffness, muscle tension, and abnormal sensations such as prickling or itching. It is common for symptoms to get better and worse at different times. The pain often generalises in one to three months. A common cause of a relapse is a life event that causes sleep deprivation.
At what age is Fibromyalgia usually diagnosed?
The average age for onset of Fibromyalgia is between 29 at 37 years of age. That being said many have pain for several years before seeking help, and the average age of seeing a doctor for this is 34 to 53 years. The average time frame between symptoms starting and seeking medical help is around five years.
Where do you hurt with Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia patients have widespread aching or generalised pain in all four body quadrants – in other words left and right side plus above and below waist. The head may also be included, but may not. They also have a minimum of eleven out of eighteen tender points present. These tender points are more tender than they should be if it was just muscle pain.
Is Fibromyalgia a mental illness?
No, Fibromyalgia is not a mental illness. Surprisingly enough, although we think of Fibromyalgia as a pain condition, the bulk of the medical research is very clear that Fibromyalgia is a Neuro-Endocrine disorder with abnormal pain processing in the Central Nervous System.
Is there any help for Fibromyalgia?
Yes there definitely is. The help here at West Melton Wellness is quite different from what you might get from your Medical Doctor. I have Specialist Training in Comprehensive Treatment of Fibromyalgia using a therapy called FSM, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and have found that it accelerates healing exponentially, helping muscles that are in spasm to relax and soften quickly. FSM is one of the easiest ways to reduce the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. We are getting great results with FSM in conjunction with a nutritional approach. So if you are ready to try a different approach to Fibromyalgia, one that actually addresses the underlying cause, I would love to help.
What can be mistaken for Fibromyalgia?
For successful treatment outcomes of Fibromyalgia it is important that the assessment is correct. The symptoms of Fibromyalgia can sometimes be similar to, or partially overlap with, some of the symptoms of Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, Hypothyroidism, Depression, Sleep Apnea, Inflammatory Muscle Disease, Lyme, Parkinsons, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Scleoderma, Tendinitis, Ehlers Danlos, Joint Hypermobility and even a very severe Vitamin D deficiency.
