Quick Facts About Fibromyalgia
People not suffering from fibro can't begin to understand this disease. Friends and family members sometimes think that a person is just lazy or it’s all in their head. How can a person look so normal and feel so bad? To feel so tired all the time and to always be in pain, just imagine how that must feel. At this time there is no known cure, but our team at Healing Touch can help in treating fibromyalgia.
Weather changes, the time of day, physical activity, and stressful events are all factors in the different levels of pain one suffers with from day to day. The pain has been described as stiffness, burning, stabbing, sudden, radiating, and aching. The pain is often more intense after disturbed sleep, which is a common complaint among sufferers.
Fibromyalgia is a multi-factorial condition; no one treatment will fix all your symptoms. This is why we take a team approach to your care.
