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.

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.

Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! is my motto. I'm Mardy Ross, and I founded Lumigrate in 2008 after a career as an occupational therapist with a background in health education and environmental research program administration. Today I function as the desk clerk for short questions people have, as well as 'concierge' services offered for those who want a thorough exploration of their health history and direction to resources likely to progress their health according to their goals. Contact Us comes to me, so please do if you have questions or comments. Lumigrate is "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" for increasing numbers of people. Follow us on social networking sites such as: Twitter: http://twitter.com/lumigrate [3] and Facebook. (There is my personal page and several Lumigrate pages. For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!) By covering some of the things we do, including case examples, it reinforces the concepts at Lumigrate.com as well as making YOU feel that you're part of a community. Which you ARE at Lumigrate!
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 [8]
