Pain in patients with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome may come in many different varieties.  Some patients may actually have more than one pain condition at the same time.  The core pain in Fibromyalgia is due to "Energy Deficits"!  Think about your fingers when you have "writer's cramp".  The fingers are drawn up (shortenened) and if you straightened one out really quick, it would really hurt!  That's how it is with Fibromyalgia; the muscles are lacking energy and they shorten, and if you move against them, they hurt.  The true goal in treating Fibromyalgia is to identify the sources of energy drainage and replace/repair that problem so that energy returns to the muscles, and therefore, the pain lessens or goes away.  This particular task is not necessarily easy, it will take some definite work between the patient and the doctor/practitioner.

Dr Spurlock Earned Forum for THIS!

This initial piece that Dr Spurlock wrote was so perfect for Lumigrate's intentions of providing education that is valid, progressive, streamlined and FUN, that I asked him if he'd like to have a Forum in the fibromyalgia section, and he accepted.   Here's the link -- please go see the OTHER nice, fast, pieces he's provided us.

Fibromyalgia Causes Among Other Things: NEW Topic on Load Theory

It's interesting to look back on this first topic I provided at the end of 2009; here we are three and half years later and there's a growing supply of information I and other experts invited to participate at Lumigrate have provided.

Here's the link to my most recent offering, about "Load Theory" and many disorders, including fibromyalgia. It is within the forum Mardy's set up, above, and the direct link to the Are You Loaded? "article" or "topic" is: www.lumigrate.com/forum/are-you-loaded-what-i-see-causing-illnesses-soar-children-through-elderly
