Fibromyalga Treatment Options

From what I read on the internet about fibromyalga, there seems to be no FDA-approved treatment at the time. But currently, there are several drugs that are being evaluated for their effectiveness in treating fibromyalga. It is said that the outlook for people with fibromyalga is improving, with new treatments on the horizon.

One of the treatment options for fibromyalga is geared towards improving the quality of sleep and reducing pain. That is to say a sleep study may aid with individualizing your therapy. Deep level or stage 4 sleep is crucial for many body functions i.e. such as tissue repair, antibody production, and the regulation of various neurotransmitters, hormones and immune system chemicals. Some of the common sleep-aid medications include Ambien, Lunesta, Clonazepam and Trazodone.

Another treatment for pain associated with fibromyalga is Ultram, but it may not be enough if the pain is moderate or severe. Muscle relaxants, anti-epileptics such as Neurontin and Lyrica and other drug categories may be prescribed as well. In addition to medications, most fibromyalga patients will need to use other treatment methods which trigger point injections with lidocaine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture/acupressure, relaxation/biofeedback techniques, osteopathic manipulation, therapeutic massage and gentle exercise program.

Info About Fibromyalga

What are the symptoms of fibromyalga? The primary symptoms of fibromyalga include widespread musculoskeletal pain, severe fatigue, and disturbed sleep. Fibromyalga is the term for pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons – the soft fibrous tissues in the body.

A large percent of patients with fibromyalga complain of aches and pains all over their body. Their muscles may feel like they were pulled or overworked. Sometimes fibromyalga symptoms include muscle twitches and burning sensations. It is said that fibromyalga affects more women than men and it shows up in people of all ages. A conservative estimate of its prevalence is 2% of the general population, but it may be as high as 3-5%.

The aches & pains associated with fibromyalga can be compared to that of the bad flu. Every muscle in the body shouts out in pain. Morever, patients feel devoid of energy as though someone had unplugged their power supply. While the severity of symptoms fluctuates from person to person, fibromyalga may resemble a post-viral state. This similarity is the reason experts believe that fibromyalga syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome may actually be the same thing.
