For
roughly 10 million people, starting the day is an enormous chore. Every
morning they have to crawl out of bed with excruciating pain. Some of
these people suffer with identifiable rheumatoid inflammatory
conditions, but many of them suffer equal debilitating pain with no
inflammation. This elusive condition has been labeled fibromyalgia and
is identified as fatigue, stiffness, and widespread musculoskeletal
pain that comes and goes, traveling around the body.
To be
properly identified as fibromyalgia, adjunct symptoms must also be
present such as sleep disturbances, headaches, irritable bowel
syndrome, and frequently, lowered cortisol & neurotransmitter
imbalances.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease affecting 2 to 4
percent of the population. Female patients outnumber males 10 to 1. The
women affected are between the ages of 20 and 60, with the greatest
concentration being between 45 and 55.
There are presently,
two types of fibromyalgia, primary, coming from what is still labeled
‘an uncertain origin’, and post-traumatic, resulting from a physical
injury such as an accident.
Because of the relative difficulty
in diagnosing this condition, many physicians have come to believe that
the condition may be psychological as opposed to physical. This is not
the case however.
Possible Causes of Fybromyalgia
While
there is still much we don’t know about this condition, there are two
theories. Firstly, some researches believe that, like chronic fatigue
and epstein barr, fibromyalgia may be viral in origin. Others feel that
it is related to an overload of the internal biochemistry with
toxins, leading to chemical changes, which lead to irritation and pain.
Based upon the current knowledge available, we tend to lean toward the
latter explanation.
The most important discovery regarding
fibromyalgia to date is its relationship to sleep disorders. In fact,
virtually all sufferers also experience altered or disturbed sleep.
It is now thought that it is the sleep disorder, which causes the
fibromyalgia and not the other way around. Fibromyalgia patients lack
delta way sleep, the deepest, most relaxing sleep.
Lacking
this restorative sleep, these people experience disturbances in their
biological rhythms, which in turn negatively affect all bodily systems.
Researchers have discovered that the neurotransmitter
serotonin, which affects mood, sleep levels, and pain, is very low in
fibromyalgia patients. It appears that this alteration of brain
chemistry is responsible for the changes in muscle structure and even
metabolism to some extent.
In two separate clinical studies,
researchers gave 100 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) three times
daily, which rapidly resulted in a 50 percent reduction in all their
symptoms! More importantly, these patients were still getting benefit
from the treatment up to 90 days after it was discontinued. What does
this mean? Oral 5-HTP is rapidly absorbed into the brain where it is
quickly converted into serotonin, the brain hormone missing in persons
with fibromyalgia!
Allergies
have also been linked to producing fibromyalgia in much the same way
they can exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis. Since food allergies are far
more involved in this process than airborne irritants, sufferers should
consider taking a RAST test for food sensitivities. If specific
allergies are detected, patients should consider the rotation diet to
reduce the level of irritants. Foods most likely involved include fish,
meats, milk, citrus fruits, peas, pineapple, shellfish, tomatoes, wheat
and corn.
In France, scientists have found a link between low
magnesium levels and thiamine metabolism in fibromyalgia patients.
Magnesium is essential in providing energy within muscle cells, which
is responsible for normal contraction and relaxation.
Malic
acid, a natural companion of magnesium in the energy cycle of muscles,
is very helpful for fibromyalgia. When given at the rate of 200 mg
together with 50 mg of magnesium, researchers found a significant
reduction in pain, but not until several weeks after the study.
As
mentioned at the outset, fibromyalgia is a relatively new condition and
our understanding of this painful condition is limited at best. Based
upon what we do know from the limited research that has been conducted
around the world, we have compiled the following dietary and dietary
supplement recommendations for persons suffering from this disease.
