Finding and Fixing the Underlying Causes of Your Fibromyalgia Symptoms is The Only Way to Overcome Them

Conventional medicine has given up on fibromyalgia. 

Most doctors if they believe fibromyalgia exist and many don’t, have the erroneous belief that once you get fibromyalgia you’ll have it for life. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Their goal is to use drugs to help you “learn to live with it.”

Drug therapy alone is a dead end. There are too many symptoms, diffuse achy muscle pain, poor sleep, fatigue, flare, fibro fog, low moods, Restless Legs Syndrome, headaches, irritable bowel, etc. If you’re not careful, you may be taking a drug to suppress every symptom. 

Many of my patients when they first start working with me, are on half a dozen to a dozen drugs. The problem is you don’t know which drugs, if any, are actually helping. Some drugs and their side effects cause symptoms similar to fibromyalgia related including—fibro fog, fatigue, pain, bloating, gas, low moods, poor sleep, pain, etc.

I’m not anti-drug, I’m really not, because there’s definitely a time and a place for drug therapy. But, no one has a drug deficiency. They can be lifesaving and they can be helpful. But drugs don’t make you healthy. When it comes to drugs, less is best.

To overcome your fibromyalgia symptoms, and you can, you need find and fix the underlying causes of fibromyalgia—not cover up the symptoms with potentially life draining drugs.

What Are Symptoms Anyway? Warning Signs!

If the engine light comes on in your car and you continue to ignore it, eventually there’s a price to pay. Your car will breakdown. You can ignore the symptoms- you can take a magic marker and cover up the light so you don’t have to see it. But eventually, the engine is going to break down and result in even costlier repairs.

It never occurs to the doctor that just because you have this thing called fibromyalgia, that maybe something is causing the fibromyalgia symptoms. Not one thing but typically multiple underlying cayuses. They don’t think that way. They think that once you have it, you have it and they are happy to continue to give you medications. Fibromyalgia doesn’t cause anything-it’s just a name. It’s a syndrome made up of a bunch of different symptoms that come together, that people that have the diagnosis of fibromyalgia share in common – the pain, fatigue, poor sleep, low moods, irritable bowel etc., but fibromyalgia doesn’t cause those things.

It could be that you have low thyroid and that’s why your energy is so low. It could be that’s why your hair is falling out, you get cold hands and cold feet, tingling in your hands and feet, high cholesterol, it could be causing your anxiety and depression, your dry skin, your unhealthy nails … all those things are low thyroid.

Mold, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, yeast overgrowth, Lyme disease, and other causes are rarely explored by conventional doctors. But finding and fixing these is key to overcoming fibromyalgia. 

There is a Difference Between Treating Symptoms And Finding And Fixing Underlying Causes

After two and half decades treating fibromyalgia patients I’ve learned the only way to feel good again, and have the opportunity to actually stay feeling good, is you have to get healthy. That’s the only way it works!

You don’t get healthy taking Cymbalta, Ambien, Lyrica, Gabapentin or Neurontin. Those drugs don’t make you healthy. They can be helpful and sometimes they’re your only option, but they all come with a price and the price is potential side effects.

Don’t Believe Them!

The reason I’m sharing this email and my patient success stories is to show that, yes, you can get your life back. 

I’m happy to be back in practice after taking a year and a half off.

I just couldn’t stand seeing all the negative doom and gloom, learn to live with social media posts that has become the norm on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

My goal is to continue to share videos and testimonials and success stories of patients like Jana who was incredibly sick, was bedridden for 6 months before she started working with me, and now she’s able to do what she loves to do, hiking the mountains. She has tremendous amount of energy, she doesn’t have pain and she’s able to do the things she loves to do. I had a patient Jenny who thought that she was going to have to quit teaching, she’s a first grade teacher. She thought like many of my patients or the people in the fibromyalgia community, that she was going to have to go on disability because she thought she wouldn’t be able to work any longer. She started working with me and now she’s doing fantastic, she’s working with no problem.

Or how about Heather in Canada who was mostly house bound do the chronic pain and fatigue she battled on a daily basis. She just wanted be able to get out of bed and to garden again. That is her below standing in her garden. Now gardens hours and hours every day. She too beat fibromyalgia.

These patients and hundreds of others who have worked with personally have been able to beat fibromyalgia, get healthy and fee good again.
