Is Fibromyalgia Syndrome Curable?Fibromyalgia Syndrome Explained According to the American College of Rheumatology the fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by two main symptoms. The first symptom would be accentuated pain all over the body continuously for more than three months and the second would be localized and sharp pain in minimum 10 to 20 points anywhere in your body. Other symptoms of the fibromyalgia syndrome that you may find with this disease are chronic fatigue, sleeping problems, tingling sensation in legs, hands and face, constant headaches, stomach ache often combined with either diarrhea or constipation. Some people also experience a burning sensation in their muscles. Yet others may complain about blurred vision, pain in the heels and even hearing problems. There are mood swings while you experience this disease - but this is more as a result of the other symptoms rather than a direct cause of the ailment. It is also possible that you would experience an accentuated lack of concentration, anxiety attacks and pain during intercourse. The Possible Causes of Fibromyalgia Syndrome The cause for this ailment is not fully understood. Medical science points to the malfunction of the central nervous system, but this may not be the only cause for it. It is believed that mental stress often coupled with cold and flu attacks might act as a trigger for this disease.
Some studies show that improper blood flow to the brain may also lead to fibromyalgia syndrome in certain cases. Certain functional impairment such as endocrine system dysfunction, immune deficiencies, and injuries to the spinal chord may play a major role in the development of this disease. Is There a Cure for Fibromyalgia Syndrome? There is no cure for this affliction and this is terrible news at the first glance. However, there is a silver lining - most of the symptoms can be brought fully under control with medication which is basically a combination of painkillers, muscle relaxants, mild sleeping drugs and antidepressants. You would be advised to exercise moderately as this would prevent the muscles from cramping and at the same time strengthen them against the pain. In due course, you would be able to sleep well and the pain would come under control. As these symptoms gradually reduce in intensity, the depression too would attack you less. In cases where depression continues to be a concern, medication and counseling may prove helpful. |
