Fibromyalgia is a long-term disorder which affects the whole body. Pain and tenderness of joints and muscles are experienced with symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, and depression.

The cause of Fibromyalgia is still unknown, but may be linked to:

  • Emotional or physical trauma
  • Abnormal pain response
  • Sleep dysfunction
  • Viral infections
  • Food allergies
  • Internal toxicity (chemical or heavy metal)
  • Overgrowth of bacteria
  • Hormonal deficiency or imbalance

The fundamental symptom of Fibromyalgia is pain which is deep, burning, sharp, or shooting. This pain radiates from points in the muscle tissue on the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, shins, elbow, and knees.

Additional Fibromyalgia symptoms may include:

        • Numbness or tingling of the hands or feet
        • Memory difficulties
        • Loss of focus
        • Irritable bowel syndrome
        • Heart palpitations
        • Depression
        • Migraines or tension headaches
        • Fatigue
