Common symptoms of Fibromyalgia, also known as Fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS, may include: anxiety, concentration and memory problems (known as fibro fog), depression, digestive disorders, discoloration of hands and feet (Raynaud’s phenomenon), dryness in mouth/nose/eyes, fatigue, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, morning stiffness, pain (the most common Fibromyalgia symptom), painful menstrual cramps, restless legs syndrome, sleep problems, swelling/numbness/tingling in hands/arms/feet/legs, painful trigger points, and urinary symptoms (urinary frequency, painful urination, or incontinence).
The pain of Fibromyalgia is generally what brings a patient into the office. Fibromyalgia pain can be felt over the entire body, as a deep, sharp, dull, throbbing, or aching pain felt in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the joints. For some people, the pain comes and goes and seems to travel throughout the body.
Fibromyalgia is typically due, in large part, to hormonal imbalances. IV therapies can be especially useful in increasing energy and decreasing pain quickly. Patients also find they get quicker results when they do some liver detoxification, either through diet and/or homeopathic combination medicines.
