Modern medications and innovative uses for them to attack the pain and discomfort of Fibromyalgia.

Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:53:27 +0100

There are new drugs and uses for old drugs to fight Fibromyalgia.

"This uniqueness of this drug is probably not simply that it is working in part by improving sleep, due to the reason that other drugs, such as tricyclics and gabapentin/pregabalin, were also likely working in part by improving sleep," he said. "The more exciting property is that this drug is likely working by elevating GABA levels, and that makes it somewhat unique due to the fact that none of the other medications that could be approved or commonly used for Fibromyalgia were likely to be primarily working on this neurotransmitter, which is one of the central inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain."In January 2010 Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and pharmaceuticals was predicting that Xyrem will account for more than 15 percent of the Fibromyalgia drug market in 2018 in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and Japan.

What to do next

Your physician is there to help you so look at the medical drugs you were currently being prescribed for your Fibromyalgia and check in the charts below which indications they could be targeting specifically.(Remember that your medication might be listed under its generic name or a brand name.) For example if you the feel that ache issue is being addressed you could chat to your physician about prescribing another medication to help with your sleep indications. If you could be lucky enough to have a progressive medical doctor then you could ask about their advice regarding the newer medications like Lyrica and Cymbalta.

understand there is no magical pill that will get rid of all Fibromyalgia signs.

Try new things with your doctor to determine which medicines can help “eliminate” your manifestations.

The responsible use of pain drugs and narcotics can take the edge off the anguish. These medications will not relieve all your ache but will enhance warning signs and comfort.

How using Magnesium and Malic acid will help those of us with Fibromyalgia feeling better.

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:41:44 +0100

Fibromyalgia treatment with magnesium and malic acid.Many of us with Fibromyalgia have low magnesium and in the past I used to take magnesium shots but the cost at $1500 a month was too high to continue. cutting edge studies show that lower levels taken in pill form can have a great effect on the body.

Not everyone with fibromyalgia has a low level of magnesium. Magnesium by itself can help to reduce ache in a gread deal of fibromyalgia patients but research indicates that taking adequate doses of magnesium in combination with malic acid over an extended period of time may be significantly help to reduce the muscle and soft tissue ache connected with Fibromyalgia.

It's not known if these two substances work together or separately, but both magnesium and malic acid could be necessary pieces in How energy is produced and transported within the cells of the muscles. Evidence exhibits that is one cause of fibromyalgia.pain is low oxygen or local hypoxia in the muscles which contributes to muscle tissue breakdown. Many if not most Fibromyalgia sufferers also experience poor circulation which further reduces the amount of oxygen the muscle cells may be use. Since the blood must return to the heart my using your muscles sitting for long periods decreases blood flow and makes it hard to get oxygen to the muscles making it unpleasant and excruciating to stand up.

Magnesium and isa must for many functions in the body including being used for nerve signaling, and muscle contraction, and as a partner in the creation of over 350 enzymes. Magnesium activates the most fundamental enzyme in the body; ATP (adenosine triphosphate) an energy molecule produced within the mitochondria. About 20 percent of the body's production of ATP is located in the brain. As a result, diminished levels will decrease the brain's Cognitive functions it gives you that confusion feeling and lack of concentration you were familiar with.

Magnesium is needed in the production of serotonin, a brain neurotransmitter used in the perception of ache. Serotonin levels have been shown to be significantly lower in people with Fibromyalgia. Magnesium is one of the many co-factors needed to release and bind serotonin in the brain to provide balanced mental functioning.

Magnesium deficiency increases a chemical in the body called substance P, a neurotransmitter and protein found in the brain and spinal cord. Those of us with fibromyalgia have abnormally high levels of substance P. Substance P serves as a suffering messenger and is associated with inflammatory processes in the joints. Abundant levels can cause pain signals to be sent to the brain even when there is no actual injury or illness.

Malic acid is an organic substance found in fruits (particularly apples) and Malic acid is involved in the production of energy in the body. It is used in in the molecules used in controlling mitochondrial, energy production, within the cells. Malic acid provides greater stamina and endurance in muscle cells. Malic acid is particularly useful in helping remove aluminum from the body. Aluminum toxicity is thought to be one contributor to Fibromyalgia indications. While magnesium also helps block the toxic affects of aluminum, malic acid will be even more reliable. Studies with Magnesium and Malic Acid to help to reduce Fibromyalgia anguish

In a 1992 study 15 fibromyalgia patients took an oral dose of 1200-2400 mg of malic acid and 300-600 mg of magnesium over a four and 8 week period. people reported a reduction in anguish in the bodies 18 potential tender points. Six of the subjects felt an improvement in 48 hours.
During another study conducted in 1995, researchers gave 24 subjects with fibromyalgia a "Supermalic" tablet with 50 mg magnesium and 200mg malic acid. Scientists measured ache levels using patient self-assessment and the tender point index. Results showed that the low dose, short term trial was not reliable to lower Fibromyalgia agony. However, higher doses over an extended duration significantly reduced subjects' anguish.

The side effects of Magnesium Malate with extended use can include headache, muscular anguish, and mild gastrointestinal symptoms. The most common side effect is loose stools. Should this occur you should decrease their next dose by 50%.
Magnesium malate has been shown to be the most powerful form of magnesium to help to reduce Fibromyalgia anguish. The recommended dose is 1,500 mg, although people should adjust their dose according to their pain level and si.
Side effects

The NFA suggests that eating more omega-3 fatty acids & fewer saturated fats has shown promise in Fibromyalgia sufferers. stop red meat & saturated fats and broaden omega-3 fatty acids by adding more fish, flax and walnut oils to your diet. Fatty acid deficiencies will interfere with the nervous system and brain function and cause depression, poor memory and concentration problems.

The American College of Rheumatology has just finished a new set of Diagnostic Criteria for Fibromyalgia diagnosis.

Just using tender-point exams are no longer the only way to diagnose DoFollow fibromyalgia — the American College of Rheumatology has provisionally accepted alternate criteria for diagnosing the condition and gauging the severity of warning signs.
The diagnostic criteria medics have been using were established in 1990. Once other conceivably possible causes of warning signs were eliminated, diagnosis was based purely upon suffering. It had to be on both sides of the body, both above and below the waist, along the axial skeleton (head, throat, chest, spine), and also in a minimum of 11 of 18 specific places on the body that are called   symptoms have to have been present for a minimum 3 months.
The 18 point tender-point exam has always been controversial for a lot of reasons. First, it was originally intended as a qualifier for clinical studies, not as a diagnostic tool. Second, it’s subjective the plain truth is it relies on a patient’s self-reported suffering. Third, realistically indications fluctuate so much, the number of tender points will vary greatly from one exam to another.
Until we have a diagnostic exam that’s based on blood markers or imaging, we probably won’t have a perfect diagnostic proceedure. (This is true of many diseases, especially neurological ones.) Still, researchers believe they’ve come up with something that functions healthier — they believe when looking at the data from a group previously diagnosed with fibromyalgia sufferers, the tender-point exam was about 75% accurate, while the new criteria found it 88% of the time.

The new way for diagnosing Fibromyalgia
The new criteria keep the requirements that other causes be ruled out and that manifestations have to have persisted for a minimum 3 months. They also includes 2 new methods of assessment, the widespread suffering index (WPI) and the symptom severity (SS) scale score.
The WPI lists 19 aspects of the body and you say where you’ve had suffering in the last week. You get 1 point for each area, so the score is 0-19.

For the SS scale score, the patient ranks specific symptoms on a scale of 0-3. These signs include:
•    Fatigue
•    waking up unrefreshed
•    Cognitive difficulties
•    Somatic (physical) symptoms in general (such as headache, weakness, bowel problems, nausea, dizziness, numbness/tingling, hair loss)
The numbers assigned to each were added up, for a total of 0-12.
This next part is in truth interesting to me. Instead of looking for a hard score on each, there’s some flexibility built in, which recognizes the fact that fibromyalgia impacts us all differently, and that warning signs will fluctuate.

For a diagnosis you need EITHER:
1.    WPI of a minimum of 7 and SS scale score of a minimum of 5, OR
2.    WPI of 3-6 and SS scale score of at least 9.
What this does is allow for people with fewer aching areas but more severe symptoms to be diagnosed.
Something else I honestly like about this is that it finally includes thinking warning signs! For many of us, mental failure or Fibro fog is as debilitating or even more debilitating than agony, yet the old criteria didn’t even mention it. It also recognizes the difference between “tiredness” and “Waking unrefreshed,” which I believe is an under-recognized distinction in the medical community.

A instant note about “somatic symptoms”: strictly speaking, somatic means physical. The term has gotten a bad rap in the fibromyalgia community due to the reason that it’s been used to recommend our warning signs could be the result of somatization, which means “physical manifestations of a psychological illness.” On its own, however, the word somatic does not imply a psychological basis.
The full article on the new criteria isn’t yet available for free online, but a PDF of an appendix including these criteria is. It has the list of painful areas for the WPI and a long list of somatic manifestations that could be considered.

If you’re undiagnosed or tentatively diagnosed, you can require to take that to your doctor. Be sure to let him/her know that it’s from the American College of Rheumatology and was published in Arthritis Care & Research.

The uses of Marijuana in Fibromyalgia to halt the ache and discomfort of fibromyalgia and ...

The uses of Marijuana in Fibromyalgia to stop the ache and discomfort of fibromyalgia and cancer.
However, these medications have side effects too. "The most Typical side effects could be what I call the three D's: drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth. It's not euphoria as such," he adds.

In Canada, federal law allows sufferers to use medical marijuana with a doctor's support (they can't prescribe marijuana The plain truth is it's not approved as a drug in Canada) of the patient's application to possess; the drug is delivered directly to the patient, and grown under controlled conditions by the government.

"I have people with a range of agony syndromes who have failed all their other treatments and for whom herbal cannabis has been the only reasonable option that they have that controls their manifestations," Ware says. In such cases, he adds, he will help the patient obtain the card they need to authorize them to possess the drug.

But in the U.S., the legality of medical marijuana is determined state-by-state (it's now legal in 14 states), and rules and regulations vary widely.

And while Attorney General Eric Holder said last year that he may no longer go after people who were selling or using medical marijuana legally, many users -- and potential users -- are fearful of the legal risks they will be taking.

"Licensed for use or not, it's still a federal crime, says Dee, a 52-year-old medical assistant with fibromyalgia, who lives in Colorado, which passed a law allowing medical marijuana in 2000. While visiting a wellness center for therapeutic massages, staffers suggested she try marijuana for her warning signs.

After getting her medical doctor's approval, "I used a little of this and a little of that. I would probably say that most of the time my ache was not relieved," although she did sleep healthier and had a better appetite. "I did find one plant that genuinely did help, but it was hard to get, and you only get so much grown per plant for year."

So when the time came for Dee to get her state license to use medical marijuana (Colorado gives people 90 days), at a cost of $90 every year, "I let the ball drop."

While Dee says she has no challenge with medical marijuana, she is concerned about the improve of dispensaries across the state. "There were more places to purchase medical marijuana than banks or Mexican restaurants now," she says.

In New York, the state assembly has approved medical marijuana legislation, and Lynda says she is working to support legalization efforts there. For now, legal or not, she is continuing to use marijuana.

"I may recommend to any 'fibromyalgiac' to try marijuana if they were open to it," says Lynda.

"I swore when I became a parent I will not touch weed again (ah, youth), but times have changed, and I was desperate to find something for the burning suffering so I could function. I'm glad that I made this decision due to the reason that it does it's magic for me."

The uses of Marijuana in Fibromyalgia to halt the ache and discomfort of fibromyalgia and ...

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 21:13:21 +0100

Using Marijuana to treat the pain and discomfort of Fibromyalgia and Cancer it has uses for both. New drugs are derived from it constantly now.

Medications derived from marijuana

Ware recently published a study showing that one such compound, nabilone (Cesamet), helped fibromyalgia those being treated sleep better. It was more efficient than amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant often prescribed to fibromyalgia those being treated to ease pain and strengthen sleep. And a study published a few years ago found nabilone helped lessen pain and anxiety in fibromyalgia patients.

Nabilone is a synthetic analog of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol -- THC for short -- often thought of as the active ingredient of cannabis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug back in 1985 for treating nausea in cancer our patients undergoing chemotherapy.

The only other cannabis-based drug now on the market in the U.S. is dronabinol, which is sold as Marinol in the U.S. and is FDA-approved for treating chemo-related nausea and vomiting. It hasn't been tested formally in fibromyalgia patients, although Lynda received a prescription for Marinol in 2006.

"The drug makes me more tired and doesn't last long enough in my system, but I've stuck with it since then for two basic reasons -- I do supplement with marijuana, just not as many times per day," she says. "There could be times that I don't use all day or week or month."

A third cannabis-based medicine, Sativex, is now in clinical trials in the United States for treating cancer pain.

The drug is sprayed under the tongue or into the cheek, and contains THC and cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that eases swelling and pain and will also reduce the side effects of THC (like anxiety, hunger production, and many of the intoxicating properties), as well as a number of other compounds (other cannabinoids and terpenoids, which were analgesics in their own rights).

But do they help?

"It is quite conceivably possible that cannabis-based drugs could be helpful for sufferers of fibromyalgia based on available science," says Ethan Russo, M.D., who is senior medical advisor to GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, and a study physician for the U.S. clinical trials now underway for cancer cure.

Russo says he's hopeful Sativex will get FDA approval for treating cancer pain in 2013. "While a theoretical basis for Sativex potentially helping profit fibromyalgia manifestations is quite strong, and we know it has been very helpful with neuropathic pain and sleep disturbance in many other illnesses," he adds, "it's ultimate utility in fibromyalgia can only be proven in a meaningful, practical fashion using formal randomized clinical trials."

For now, Ware says, those suffering with fibromyalgia who aren't being helped by their existing medication might need to discuss nabilone with their doctor. "A lot of physicians just don't know that these prescription cannabinoids exist," he says.

Marijuana is used actively by many Fibromyalgia sufferers and most find a great deal of Pain relief and sleep good as well.Lynda, a 48-year-old mother of three who lives in upstate New York, got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia in 2000. While there could be prescription medications for fibromyalgia, she's found one unconventional drug -- marijuana -- that certainly does the trick.

I could use [marijuana] when the burning pains started down my spine or my right arm, and soon after, I found I could continue with housework and In fact get more done," says Lynda.

Fibromyalgia is notoriously unpleasant to treat and only 35 percent - 40 percent of people with the chronic pain problem get relief from the available medical drugs. Although there were strong opinions surrounding its use, many sufferers were trying marijuana -- legally or illegally -- and finding it may be help fibromyalgia pain.

"My sufferers are asking me all the time about it," says Stuart Silverman, M.D., a rheumatologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in Los Angeles. "Historically and anecdotally, marijuana has been used as a painkiller."

Why marijuana sometimes helps

Our bodies in the most natural way make pain relievers called endorphins, but they also make other substances that may be trigger pain easing in the so-called endocannabinoid system. This system seems to play a main role in many processes in the body, including modulating You may wonder how we feel pain. Marijuana contains cannabinoids very similar to those that occur in the body with a very natural methodology.

Fibromyalgia sufferers typically experience bodywide pain, but they must often take multiple drugs for other manifestations, which can include difficulty sleeping, restless legs syndrome, depression, and anxiety. However, marijuana will treat multiple manifestations, and certain those being treated are seeing results.

It seems rational -- why shouldn't fibromyalgia sufferers try marijuana for their manifestations, if they live in a state where medical marijuana is legal?

But there could be two problems with herbal cannabis, Silverman and other critics say: It's a complex natural substance that contains about 60 varying compounds with potentially medicinal effects, some of which will work with with one another. The other challenge is that the amount of these various compounds will vary by batch, as marijuana is not synthesized but grown.

While Silverman says he has great hopes that synthetic medications based on individual compounds in cannabis may one day help fibromyalgia sufferers (after appropriate randomized controlled clinical trials have been done), he argues that the real thing TODAY is just too inconsistent.

"We think that there's probably a role for that class of compounds, the cannabinoids in general, and it's just a question of working out In what way that's going to be put into practice," says Mark Ware, M.D., an assistant professor in family medicine and anesthesia at McGill University, in Montreal, and the executive director of the Canadian Consortium for the Investigation of Cannabinoids.

Nanotechnology may help Fibromyalgia

There is evidence that abnormal concentrations of positively-charged metal ions (eg, copper, iron, and zinc) work with with beta-amyloid in the brain during the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, correcting these abnormal levels might help people with this condition. (The photo displays yellow amyloid plaque surrounded by black neurofibrillary tangles.)

One option for cure is chelation.

Chelation Therapy is the system by which positively-charged metal ions could be captured and then removed from the body by a large chelating molecule.

In practice chelation has not been very efficient. There could be side effects, and older chelation agents have difficulty getting to brain cells (ie, crossing the blood-brain barrier). But now, preliminary evidence suggests that nanotechnology might overcome these problems.

In the lab, nanoparticles have been used to transport chelators and chelator-metal complexes in both directions across the blood-brain barrier. Further research will be needed to prove it is a safer and more efficient medication in Alzheimer’s disease — and in other neurological diseases.

Not only the diet you eat but the supplements and vitamins you take have an incredible influence on the severity and duration of your Fibromyalgia.
The last few years much work had been done on common Fibromyalgia nutrient deficiencies and treatments. We have included certain information that specifically on Fibromyalgia symptoms and what supplements to use for those. Dr. Pellegrino has seen more than 20,000 Fibromyalgia people at the Ohio Rehab Center and he is also a Fibromyalgia sufferer. He knows what this illness does to us.

some recommendations to treat Fibromyalgia include using natural herbs and vitamins to eliminate the pain or improve flexibility.
Depression (mild):
•    5-HTP
•    St. John’s Wort
•    SAME-e
•    Flaxseed oil
Pain control
•    Magnesium/malic acid combination
•    Natural anti-inflammatories: glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and flaxseed oil
•    Headaches – Flaxseed oil
•    Guaifenesin
Poor Sleep:
•    5-HTP
•    Melatonin
•    Valerian root
IBS:
•    Fiber supplements
•    Acidophilus
•    Valerian root
•    Peppermint oil (enteric coated)
•    Olive leaf extract
Fatigue:
•    Magnesium/malic acid combination
•    CoQ10
•    Colostrum
•    Vitamin B-12
•    Ginkgo biloba
•    Vinpocetine

Cognitive Difficulties:
•    Colostrum
•    Ginkgo biloba
•    Vinpocetine
•    Acetyl-L-carnitine
•    Phosphatidyl serine

We need to make sure we get our basic balanced minerals and vitamins. Supplements could be significant to replace deficiencies, but we mustn’t forget that we still have to get all of our daily vitamins and minerals… A complete vitamin and mineral supplement… [may be replace]… 30-40 pills a day at a fraction of the cost.
Numerous nutritional products were available, and I work with my our patients in an open-minded and responsible manner about trying them.
Educate yourself by reading up on various products.
Ask your physician and basically make these decisions based on your knowledge and expertise and not on the product’s great marketing strategy.
Try one supplement at a time for one or eight weeks and see if you think the product is helping. If you think it might be helping but you’re not sure, try it for another month and reevaluate its effect.

There is powerful news for those who endure from Fibromyalgia since its manifestations are similar to arthritis, there could be many natural and less risky solution options that can ease the pain and reduce signs.
Dr Mark Stengler,ND , who is a naturopathic medical doctor says ,he has found that natural treatments work well and with few side effects that there’s every reason to use these first. He says the fascinating thing about fibromyalgia is that there is no single root cause. Rather, it can result from any of a number of very varying causes or catalysts, including injury such as whiplash, food allergies, hormone imbalances (low thyroid, for instance), digestive problems, metal toxicity, neurotransmitter imbalances and more.
The most common symptoms fibromyalgia our patients have were insomnia, fatigue, muscle pain, tender points (places tender to the touch), depression and digestive problems.Dr Stengler starts a testing procedure to evaluate hormone balances, including cortisol and DHEA, as well as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones. For those being treated who have a history of eating fish that will carry mercury (this includes deep spring water fish such as tuna, swordfish and shark) or who have many mercury fillings, he tests for metal toxicity since this can cause an boost in perceived pain. He will also measure How well digestion and nutrient absorption were functioning, since these factors too may amplify manifestations.
Once Dr Stengler has determined weather his those suffering have fibromyalgia ,he perscribes natural fibromyalgia treatments aimed at keeping the condition from getting worse, and possibly even reversing it. They are:

Calcium and magnesium, to relax tight muscles and calm nerves
Vitamin D, which lessons swelling
5-HTP and SAMe broaden serotonin, leading to reduction in pain signals
MSM as a natural anti-inflammatory
Sugar D-ribose to strengthen energy production within cells
Neprinol, which was specifically formulated to Stop and reverse fibromyalgia and may be reliable for certain.

The doctor will also give those being treated many specific natural remedies substances to reduce muscle pain, including Rhus Tox (for stiffness and muscle ache that gets worse in cold weather), Cimicifuga racemosa (for muscle pain that feels like bruising, especially helpful when fibromyalgia affects the neck to mid-back) and Bryonia alba (for muscle and joint pain that is worse with motion).
some of his people who tested for food sensitivities were to avoid foods that may be aggravate indications. All those suffering with fibromyalgia were given an anti-inflammatory diet with lots of cold pure, filtered water fish (ones that don’t include significant mercury, including salmon and sardines) along with loads of vegetables, and moderate amounts of fruit, nuts and lean red meat. Dr. Stengler has sufferers add anti-inflammatory spices like – turmeric, garlic, onions and ginger, for example — to their diets as well, and for those with poor digestion he prescribes digestive enzymes. For them to ease their pain and stress , he occasionally recommends chiropractic and/or acupuncture treatments, and he advises those suffering to develop outstanding stress-manage habits… deep breathing, exercises.
Dr. Stengler believes that fibromyalgia responds so well to Natural Treatments ,he thinks it’s the best first-line methodology for everyone who suspects they can have it. Even for those who opt to take medications, it’s a excellent thought to ask your doctor if you may be take natural substances to complement your solution.

    Fibromyalgia also commonly known as CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) causes so many alternative warning signs, with a long list ranging from chronic headaches to muscle pain, it is challenging to find a treatment that accomplishes its' task for them all if you could be simply treating the manifestations like most medics do.
     Every one of us who have Fibromyalgia were individuals and most of the medical treatments will cause side effects. some of which may be be as bad as the fibromyalgia or CFS indications they were trying to treat or cover up. Many if not most of the fibromyalgia patients that have had the disease for many time have began looking for alternative treatments to help reduce their manifestations and feel the best as well as go after the underlying cause of the illness.
      Aromatherapy is both a science and the art of using natural essential oils to treat various mind and body problems. There were hundreds of essential oils which were extracted from plants, seeds, bark, and flowers. These can be used alone or in combination with each other, to help treat alternative illnesses and disorders but is well suited to fibromyalgia and high blood pressure.
     Aromatherapy accomplishes its' task partly by stimulating our sense of smell but a gread deal of of the oils will be applied directly to the skin in a massage lotion, used in a warm bath or dispersed around the room with an aromatherapy candle or aromatherapy oil burner.
The human sense of smell is capable of detecting in more than 10,000 varying scents, and every scent can cause our body to respond in a slightly varying way. When we inhale essential oils, 15% of each breath of air goes right to our brain. These aromas the same day affect the Limbic system in our brain. The Limbic system is responsible for controlling mood and emotions as our moods change we also may be release other chemicals which may be block pain, make us more alert and just have a general sense of well being. Aromatherapy when it stimulates the limbic system it can release hormones as well, causing us to experience quick mood shifts and stimulate our feeling of well being.

    Essential oils were extracted from plants and most were much too potent to be applied directly to the skin without being diluted. Most essential oils must be combined with carrier oil, such as grapeseed or sweet almond oil or any other good massage oil that you like. Essential oils were very strong and can aggravate or burn the skin unless they could be properly mixed and diluted. Other than skin irritation IF they could be not mixed there were virtually NO known bad reactions to essential oils used properly. The only exception is during pregnancy and they should be very limited in their use like most other things. Alcohol, drugs etc all need to be used carefully during pregnancy as well. Essential oils should never be taken internally or applied to the eyes.
    Aromatherapy is used effectively in treating a wide range of physical and emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, arthritis, muscle pain, digestive disorders, menstrual disorders, and fatigue which covers many of the manifestations of CFS.
    Aromatherapy gives CFS and Fibromyalgia sufferers the good points of greatly improved blood flow, deep relaxation, lessoning of pain, and much less depression.
    many of the oils that are very beneficial to CFS and Fibromyalgia are for calming Lavender, Jasmine, and Rose. Lavender happens to be as calming and soothing as well as being versatile oil in that is great for high blood pressure address as well and it is antibacterial as well. It accomplishes its' task very well on burns so honestly is an all around oil. It is one of the few oils that will be applied to the body directly. We have not seen any reaction to it even on burn tissue to keep from forming the second degree burn bumps or sunburns.
