Fibromyalgia is very complex in presentation and in causes, but one study demonstrates that there is a link between fibromyalgia and the inflammatory process.
Lucas et al. found that hormones and other biological markers associated with inflammation were found to be present where they normally were not, or higher than normal in the cerebro-spinal fluid, blood and skin of fibromyalgia sufferers. They do not say that fibromyalgia is an inflammatory disorder, but that inflammation plays a critical role in its onset and progression.
So what does that mean to patients with fibromyalgia? It means that keeping your body's pro- and anti-inflammatory processes balanced, may help limit flare-ups and prevent some of the fibromyalgia related inflammatory disorders, such as migraines, cystitis and irritable bowel syndrome.
A huge part of this is proper nutrition, supplementation and exercise. If you suffer with fibromyalgia and have not found someone to help guide you through this process, find a functional medicine provider that can find out what your specific needs are and start the journey to restoring your health.
Thank you so much for those inspiring words. It helped a lot and has motivated me. I am suffering from this and currently taking this amazing fibromyalgia treatment.
