They complain of lacking the strength to keep going.<br \/>\nAnd, as if that&#8217;s not enough, many people suffering with fibromyalgia have made the rounds in the medical community and at least one medical professional has told them their problems are not real; that their disease is totally in their head.<br \/>\nFibromyalgia is the new kid on the block as diseases go.  That&#8217;s how it goes when you&#8217;re suffering with a disease that&#8217;s the new kid on the block.<br \/>\nI have some opinions about fibromyalgia.  It may be that many of you will disagree with them.  That&#8217;s perfectly okay.  In fact, I invite you to comment.<br \/>\nMy opinions are these:<br \/>\nFibromyalgia is a real disease.<br \/>\nOne component of the disease is the sensitivity the sufferer has toward the toxins in our daily lives.  I feel that Fibromyalgia sufferers are sensitive to things like unclean air, unclean food, unclean water.<br \/>\nThree things help in the battle with Fibromyalgia:  Swedish massage, restorative yoga, Reflexology for the Spirit.<br \/>\nIn my opinion, there are three things to avoid:  Deep massage of any kind, all forms of yoga except restorative, and the depressive thoughts accompanying this struggle which is Fibromyalgia.<br \/>\nOne effort in its own category is cleaning up one&#8217;s diet and environment.  This clean up effort takes both time and effort.<br \/>\nFibromyalgia is definitely a spiritual disease.  Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer a return to homeostasis and a positive time for the sufferer.  Both things are badly needed.<br \/>\nThank you for reading this blog\/book.<br \/>\nPlease comment on this post.<br \/>\nShare this article on your preferred social network.<br \/>\nThurman Greco<br \/>\nWoodstock, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fibromyalgia sufferers have a whole list of symptoms: fatigue, headache, swollen joints, irritable bowel syndrome, numbing\/tingling sensations, sleeplessness, etc. As if that&#8217;s not enough, people with fibromyalgia often suffer with depression because their daily lives are such a struggle.
