Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue is a poorly understood and even more poorly treated condition. Chronic fatigue is a consequence of years of bad living. This can mean bad living emotionally, through diet, or poor attention to ones own physical condition, or aches and pains.

Many patients with chronic fatigue will insist that they eat right. On further examination, almost 90% of North Americans live on a diet that is draining to their systems, and that encourages adrenal and thyroid gland burn out.

Those who suffer from the condition also overlook the physical component of chronic fatigue. Chronic fatigue sufferers often show sign of serious spinal problems and other physical imbalances.

The emotional stresses many people live with, as though they are not an emotional stress, are debilitating. Facing emotional stresses head on and dealing with them is often the best route to overpower these stressors, which completely drains our nervous system and destroys our health.

Take the time to explore ways to achieving better health, understanding that the level of health you can bring to your life is already improving, by merely trying.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, like chronic fatigue, is an extraordinarily difficult disease to control. Many victims of this disease lose hope because the pharmaceuticals prescribed do so little to help. Even alternative therapies seem to do little more than prevent the condition from worsening.

Often, the source of Fibromyalgia is multiple. Emotional issues, physical traumas, gastro-intestinal disorders, and other causes have been associated with this disease. It is important for the Fibromyalgia patient to create a lifestyle that can lessen each of these contributors.

The most important culprit to be addressed is the mental stress or the emotional component of the problem. This is a long road to pursue. There are many effective techniques, including yoga, meditation, and mind-body exploration techniques. The key is to identifying the real source of mental unhappiness or stress. Also, a key is to bring into your life is the goal of exciting and energizing your mind into a state that desires greater physical strength.

Furthermore, techniques that energize the body and strengthen the musculature must be explored. Foods that bring the body energy and relax the musculature should be examined, as well as different techniques that strengthen the spine and balance the nervous system.

The methods and the alternative medicines that assist in reducing and even eliminating Fibromyalgia should all be explored. Often the same conditions that are responsible for Fibromyalgia are responsible for other physical ailments, and different symptomatologies can have the same effective forms of treatments.

Explore and decide for yourself the lifestyle and mental and physical health you wish to strive for that will be effective in reducing your Fibromyalgia.
