Welcome back to the blog! Today I will be sharing my fibromyalgia journey with you. In case you have never heard of Fibromyalgia I will give you a few details.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that affects muscle and soft tissue characterized by chronic muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue, and sleep disorders. It is a lifelong disorder that is more common in females than males. Although there is treatment there is no known cure.
My Daily Symptoms:
Extreme Fatigue, chronic intense pain all over, Sleeplessness, and brain fog( I have trouble focusing and staying focused on pretty much anything).
How I Treat My Fibromyalgia
The first thing I learned was that I would not be able to use the traditional forms of treatment with my epilepsy and other medical issues, so I adopted a holistic approach. I spent countless days researching how to treat fibromyalgia naturally and came up with a few ways that help me.
The first thing I had to do was change my eating habits. I ended up cutting about 85% of processed food from my diet, I replaced that 85% with fruits and vegetables.
The one thing I was not able to do with my diet was to add more fish because I’m allergic to fish. I knew I needed more protein in my diet so I bought Orgain Organic Protein Powder and started adding it to my fruit smoothies.
The next thing I learned while researching was that I needed to exercise on a daily basis. I will be honest with you, this was really hard with the amount of pain that I was in. When you have fibromyalgia you actually wake up in intense pain. I honestly didn’t think I would be able to do it. Yoga and Resistance/ Strength Training are highly recommended. A quick tip for finding yoga workouts is to head over to YouTube and search for “Gentle Morning Flow Yoga” or “Yoga for Seniors” watch a few that pop up and see if it is a good fit for you. For strength training, I have two pink five-pound hand weights that I use for 15 minutes a day. Hopefully, I will work up to a little longer over time but for now, I am happy with what I am able to do.
15 Minute Yoga Workouts To Start Your Day
A moist heating pad is a must for anyone who suffers from chronic pain. I also use aromatherapy, meditation, relaxation music, gardening, and just moving around as much as possible. Being outside helps me as well simply because I love the outdoors.
Like many people dealing with fibromyalgia, some days are better than others. Some days I can accomplish everything on my to-do list and other days I can’t get out of bed. I refuse to give up though and I will keep doing everything in my power to control the pain level. Do you suffer from Fibromyalgia? Let me know some of your tips for living with Fibromyalgia.
