Fybromyalgia syndrome
This syndrome is characterized by a chronic muscular pain that usually affects the lower back, shoulders, neck, back of head, upper chest and thighs, although it can affect other areas of the body as well. While the pain can be very great, there seems to be no proven physical cause. Other symptoms of this syndrome may include pain in the morning, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, anxiety, sensitive skin, dizziness, and impaired coordination.
However, the most distinctive symptom of fibromyalgia is the "nine points of tenderness." These include pain in the lower vertebrae of the neck, at the insertion of the second rib, around the upper part of the thigh-bone, in the middle of the knee joint, in the muscles connected to the base of the skull, in the muscles of the neck and upper back, in the muscles of the middle back, on the side of the elbow, and in the upper and outer muscles of the buttock. The causes of this syndrome are unknown. Some research suggests, however, that a depressed immune system may play a factor.
Vitamins
Vitamin A has powerful antioxidant qualities that make it a powerful free
radical destroyer.
Vitamin
E may have a positive effect upon immune function.
Vitamin
C may help to boost energy levels.
Other Considerations
Unfortunately common pain relievers are not always effective in treating the pain of fibromyalgia. Diet, exercise and nutritional supplements may be far more useful.
