Fibromialgia

Jakiś czas temu wklejałam artykuły o 2 metodach wykrywania fibromialgii - z krwi lub poprzez rezonans głowy. Teraz wiadomo też, co ją powoduje! Możecie odetchnąć, to nie jest "tylko w waszych głowach" i nie jest to choroba "psychosomatyczna"!

Fibromyalgia solved; A pathology, not in the mind

Nigdy nie dałam sobie wmówić, że fibromialgia nie należy do objawów eds, że owszem, można ją mieć, mając eds, ale nie ma pomiędzy nimi związku. Otóż jest. "Termostat" w EDS działa właśnie tak, jak tu piszą. Działanie tegoż "termostatu" jest jednym z objawów EDS (dysautonomia, uszkodzenie OUN), a ponieważ takie działanie "termostatu" powoduje fibromialgię, jest ona poniekąd spowodowana przez EDS. Słyszałam wiecznie, że ten ból, który tak idealnie imituje fibro, pochodzi od EDS albo mam się wybrać do psychiatry (ale mimo to fibro stwierdzono). No więc nie, psychiatra nie pomoże, bo to NIE JEST ból psychosomatyczny, w 6a NIE MA bólu psychosomatycznego! Depresje biologiczne tak nie działają.

Ten artykuł wyjaśnia też, dlaczego w 6a takie leki jak cymbalta NIE działają. Nie działają, bo nie mają prawa. Wręcz powodują jeszcze większe problemy i stają się zagrożeniem. Bo żeby było inaczej, trzeba mieć prawidłowo działającą hydroksylizynę!

A skoro wiadomo już, co powoduje fibro, może wreszcie będzie się ją leczyć przyczynowo, a nie objawowo?

"The cause of the disease escaped researchers for years. In fact, the condition was considered by many in the field of medicine as psychosomatic (in the mind) because of the variety of symptoms that could not be clinically pinned down and patient reporting was the primary criteria.

Dr. Frank Rice writes of findings at Integrated Tissue Dynamics that has made a major discovery of the cause of fibromyalgia, making diagnosis more certain and explaining the multitude of varied symptoms and effect.

Research has identified alterations in our core body temperature is a culprit, as our blood acts as a coolant in much the same fashion water does in the radiator of a car. Our major organs and active muscles require a constant temperature of about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit but sufferers cannot maintain a steady temperature.

If we lose too much heat (hypothermia) or gain too much heat (hyperthermia), our body’s primary thermostat, the hypothalamus, struggles to maintain balance. Our blood is the means by which our body and brain get nutrients, oxygen and takes away waste and blood flow is disrupted.

When we use our muscles, particularly the hands and feet, blood flows between the skin and muscles and must be kept in balance. We have internal thermostat controls distant from the hypothalamus called aterio-venous shunts or AV shunts that act as valves between arterioles or veins that supply the good stuff and venules which carry away waste.

Much as the body as a whole, these must be in synch for homeostasis.

The smallest part of our blood supply system is the capillaries which are tiny vessels that act as temperature regulators (among many other functions) and either conserve or release heat. Capillaries run throughout or bodies and are highly concentrated in our hands and feet. It has long been known that when malfunctioned from injury or another pathological issue, capillary function is diminished causing problems for diabetics.

Now it has been discovered when the AV shunt is defective in function and interferes with capillary function, muscle and skin tissue cannot get proper nutrition or waste drawn away. Additionally, temperature regulation becomes an issue affecting nerve fibers.

One result is a build-up of lactic acid in muscle and deeper tissue affecting the muscular system and causes pain that can seem to ‘travel’ from areas of the body one day to the next and cause fatigue, commonly reported from victims of fibromyalgia.

The sympathetic nervous system which uses the spinal cord for communication and the sensory fibers or nerve fibers that carry signals to the central nervous system, can have their communication disrupted by the results of AV shunt disorder and hypersensitized nerves send pain signals that can ‘travel’ as well.

The American Academy of Pain Medicine featured this research on its front cover accompanied by a laudatory editorial from Robert Gerwin of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. To date, the research is confined to women since women seem to suffer from fibromyalgia in greater numbers than men.

According to this research, fibromyalgia has pathology and is not psychosomatic so those who suffer from this ‘syndrome’ can now rest assured it is not all in their minds".
