Successful treatment of fibromyalgia : Ayusanjivani ayurveda

WHAT IS FIBROMYALGIA?

Fibromyalgia is a common and chronic syndrome which is seen more in females that causes body pain and mental distress. Musculoskeletal pain is seen in whole body along with weakness, fatigue, mood swings, confusion and memory loss.

Sometimes symptoms can be precipitated by a single event (stress, accident, injury, trauma etc) but the symptoms can build up gradually as well.

RISK FACTORS :

Gender: Fibromyalgia is seen more in women than in men
Family history: if you have a family history then risk would increase
Diseases: like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis may also increase risk

COMPLICATIONS :

As such no major complications are seen but due to pain the sleep pattern is disturbed due to which signs of mental distress may be aggravated. Concentration is also compromised due to lack of sleep.

SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES :

Symptoms :

Pain: widespread pain is seen in the patient which is a dull ache felt almost in whole body. Fibromyalgia mostly covers whole body.

Stiffness: is seen especially in the morning in the joints and muscles. Sometimes jaw stiffness is also seen.

Headache: is also a common symptom seen with fibromyalgia.

Fatigue: patients feel tired all the time and never feel fresh after waking up in the morning.

Sleep disorders: like restless leg syndrome or apnea is also seen due to lack of sleep.

Irritable bowel syndrome: may also be seen parallel to fibromyalgia.

Causes :

Genetic: there may be certain genetic mutations that may make you more susceptible to developing the disorder. Fibromyalgia tends to run in families so if you have a family history of fibromyalgia then chances are more.

Infections: some illnesses appear to aggravate fibromyalgia.

Physical or emotional trauma: sometimes be triggered by a physical trauma, injury, accident.

Psychological stress: may also trigger the condition. So if you have fibromyalgia then stressful situations can make it worse.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT :

Diagnosis

Although no test can diagnose the condition but following tests might help to overrule the other conditions of pain:

Complete blood count
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Cyclic citrullinated peptide test
Thyroid function tests

Fibromyalgia can be diagnosed only on the basis of symptoms when there is pain which covers most of the body and has no other underlying cause defining it.

Ayurvedic treatment for Fibromyalgia is possible and you can lead a very normal life. After treating the complicated condition of fibromyalgia with Ayurveda in thousands of patients, at Ayusanjivani ayurveda we have developed a proper protocol for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Ama and Fibromyalgia

Ama is the result of poor digestion. And now we know a lot of details about- microbions. When it comes to the relation of gut health with the brain- this is scientifically proven. Therefore we need to understand this connection of poor digestion, production of Ama, and conditions like fibromyalgia.

Here is the table of the Ama and Fibromyalgia- a comparative study-

Signs & Symptoms	Ama in Ayurveda	Fibromyalgia
Stiffness in Body	YES	YES
Loss of Appetite	YES	YES
Poor Digestion	YES	YES
Palpitations	YES	YES
Weakness in Limbs	YES	YES
Restlessness	YES	YES
Headache	YES	YES
Muscular Spasm	YES	YES
Disturbed Sleep	YES	YES

The line of treatment of fibromyalgia is based on four points-
1.To remove the Ama from the body.
2.To stop the production of Ama, by helping Agni, solving irritable bowel syndrome-like condition.
3.The third is to balance the Vata.
4.To reduce the stress
We achieve these results through a complete three-dimensional approach of Ayurvedic Medicines, Panchakarma, agnikarma.
