Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia

I had fibromyalgia and am in a fibro flare where I couldn't sleep at all for 6 nights in a row. This causes extreme pain in my body beyond the usual. Also I felt like my brain was burning... I couldn't eat and have an extreme taste of metal in my mouth and my sense of smell is very heightened. Everything smells and tastes horrible and makes me nauseous!

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As you have fibromyalgia, the pain can be understood to give abnormal sensations. Like , fibro-myal-gia is a condition where there is inflammation in the muscle fibers and that is leading to pain. As muscle contains numerous muscle fibers of which it is composed of, any abnormality happens there leads to pain and aches.

Also, as you have sensory issues I suspect it to be a cervical disc degenerative changes due to which there is pain, weakness. change of taste etc.

In my clinical practice such cases are referred to physical therapy . As with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain can be controlled. Also with neck strengthening exercises and general body exercises the muscles can be strengthened.

Performing meditation and breathing exercises helps to control the anxiety and improve the oxygen carrying blood cells which avoids the fatigue and the initiation of pain.
