** Thanks for contacting with your health concern 1. As Fibromyalgia is not an inflammatory condition, and because there is no identifiable cause thus treatment is symptomatic, as a result, both pharmacological and nonpharmacological measures are used as an adjuvant to get a good control of pain and extended symptom-free period, such as: i. consider a Rheumatologist or second opinion for available options and conservative management. ii. Avoid phenylalanine derived food which may trigger/mimic fibromyalgia symptoms: meat, eggs, fish, cheese, products containing aspartame, almonds, beef, legumes, nuts, peanuts, pork, pumpkin/sesame seeds, soybean/flour. iii. Physiotherapy: wax massage, ultrasound/infrared technique to minimize pain. iv. Diet rich in omega 3 is considered helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms. PS. i. you may opt for DLPA (D-L-phenylalanine) which is not habit forming, and has no known side effects and is available in health food stores. ii. Take: vegetable soups/juices, coconut water/milk, pumpkin, ginger, coriander, fennel seeds, asafoetida, garlic, ensure proper hydration iii. As the condition is associated with magnesium deficiency, thus take green leafy vegetables, almonds, soybean. 2. as both the conditions [fibromyalgia/arthritis] occurs due to an imbalance of VATA [the physiological energy responsible for stability and activity of nervous system] which leads to building up of toxins [AMA] in this autoimmune condition thus detoxification becomes necessary. PS. cat s claw [uncaria tomentosa] is a herbal remedy which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and prevents the activation of several inflammatory substances in your body, so it can prevent damage to your body’s cells by interacting with harmful molecules (free radicals) which are produced within your cells.
