Fibromyalgia
What is fibromyalgia?
5-6000000 There are known Fibromyalgia (FMS) in case still looks States syndrome and many others that have not yet been diagnosed. Fibromyalgia is a disease most often diagnosed in this country. FMS misdiagnosis commonly diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, chronic myofascial pain syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others.
There is no definitive diagnostic test for fibromyalgia that can determine with certainty that the cause of FMS symptoms. Fibromyalgia is a complex disorder involving multiple symptoms and diagnosis is essentially a rule-out.
A rule on the diagnosis means that you can not definitively diagnose fibromyalgia based on a test, symptoms, or examination. Doctors can not definitively diagnose fibromyalgia without excluding other causes of symptoms first. There are many conditions that can mimic and present as fibro, and must be excluded before the diagnosis is definitive.
Some of these disorders include autoimmune disorders, diseases transmitted by ticks and other genetic defects. Some common conditions to govern include Lyme disease, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and others. Diagnosis is separately treated in more detail in the book.
Many doctors, studies and institutions have tried to determine the cause of fibromyalgia. FMS affects mainly women and the symptoms usually begin in adulthood. Several hypotheses have been proposed to try to explain fibromyalgia and include immunological abnormalities, lack of sensitivity to chemicals, infection with the Epstein Barr virus infection ablicans candidiasis, chronic mercury poisoning in dental amalgams, anemia, parasites and phyopglycmia hypothyroidism.
However, as with most health problems, I think that complicate things. In this book I will try to describe complex medical terms, assumptions and treatment in easy to understand language and recommendations.
There are many fancy medical terms and major concepts that we could use to learn about fibromyalgia. I would like to look smart and knew what he was talking about, but will not help much. In addition, most of these big words are used only in the Latin that we doctors make us Smart sound. I want to explain fibromyalgia to you in simple terms.
I think anyone who has been diagnosed with fibro, fibro think you may have, or have a friend with fibro knows that if you have 10 doctors in a room to discuss four fibro fibro not believe there is, you get 10 opinions from six other doctors. Unfortunately, the etiology (cause) of fibromyalgia is not fully known. However, I think it is easy to explain; just trying to over complicate things.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is overactive nervous system, too sensitive. That's it! I could not be much easier. Fibromyalgia is a nervous own body to overreact system. The nervous system is the master controller of the body. The human body can survive without food over 6 weeks, about 6 days without water, about 6 minutes without heart, and about 6 milliseconds without nervous system.
The nervous system is the master controller of everything your body does. Monitors and controls each brain cell, tissue and organs throughout the central nervous system or spinal cord, spinal nerves and the cell, tissues and organs. The brain sends messages through this control system, and tissues return this form of communication in both directions, which is the essence of health and life.
This message allows the brain monitor and record everything that each small cell is made, and make changes, or adjusts, based on the information it receives. This system allows our brain monitor, adjust and optimize the environment and health.
One way I tell my patients that I think is to imagine a hose from the front of his house. The pipe is water supply to a sprinkler watering the grass. The sprayer is as small nerves that supply the smaller cells. Now, it is important for the grass to get the right amount of water. Many of my patients come to me with a pinched nerve. Now, pinched nerves are like someone standing in the pipe.
The water does not come out as it should, and the water does not dry grass its food and dies. Perforated ribs are very similar. Now, fibro is the opposite of this, imagine connecting a fire hose to? Probably like right, huh? Water flying in the air, everywhere, put a lot of pressure on the sprinkler head, and probably give too much water the grass.
And what will happen if it remains on the lawn of the water like that? Also be brown and die. A fire in a jet is the best analogy I can give to fibromyalgia. The nervous system is overactive.
As an active nervous system can lead to low numb, and hyperactivity of the nervous system that makes it more sensitive to stimuli. Talk soon on the diagnosis; However, a definitive diagnostic test is the evaluation of fibro trigger point. Basically, if the test detects certain points on the body are more sensitive.
This is the test of the response of the nervous system. If you touch a certain part of your body in some way, the nerves must respond in a certain way. Fibro patients, these certain points with a certain pressure, cause an excess responsive and sensitive response. This demonstrates hyperactive state bodies. The model of over-active nervous system may be applicable to all signs and symptoms of fibro.
Scientifically, this idea has been demonstrated by several studies, which have shown increased levels of substance P, a neurotransmitter in the brain and spinal cord causing pain. (1,2,3)
The nervous system is active again more sensitive to the pain of a normal nervous system. Also increased levels of substance P, we say that the brain and spinal cord induce more pain. My instructor of neurology at the University told the class that if our brain recognizes all our nerves feel pain throughout the day, we were crazy.
In fact, it has been shown in studies that 99 percent of all recorded signals are ignored pain nerves in the brain. The brain is normally trying to protect us from all the pain we feel. Nerves do an excellent job in monitoring everything that happens in the body, especially the pain signals. However, it is the brain and spinal cord to modify these signals work.
To decide which ones are important and which are not. Unfortunately, FMS these changes do not seem to work, and the patient feels much more than I normally tolerable.
This over-reaction is a fundamental cause of all FMS symptoms. Of course, there are other hypotheses for the cause of fibromyalgia. Some doctors have suggested to be due to chronic fibrosis of the previous infection, certain sleep disorders can cause complaints, and some even think that there is a genetic component.
Will require additional studies, but most are in general agreement that the nervous system is the key, and you exaggerate. Final details will come, but it makes more sense to me, and I see every day FMS. Several studies have reached similar conclusions to the root of FMS. However, this is my opinion based on years of clinical experience and research has been done. Unfortunately, like many aspects of FMS, there is no definitive cause of FMS widely believed, however, most critics and studies have shown a more active than the cause fibro nervous system.
