Fibromyalgia SciaticaFibromyalgia Sciatica Sources
I have seen fibromyalgia turn out to be many things. I have a long history with this disease, both personally and professionally. One of my family members suffered with it for many years and eventually cured the condition using applied
knowledge therapy,
the same treatment made famous by
Dr. John Sarno,
in relation to his TMS diagnosis. Of course, Dr. Sarno speculates (and many agree) that fibromyalgia is just very symptomatic widespread TMS. This certainly explains why medical science has been so powerless over the condition, with a diversity of unenlightened treatments (mostly guesses) that have rarely, if ever, cured ANYONE…The other side of the coin comes into play when a person turns out to have an immune dysfunction, nutritional concern or environmental poison discovered in diagnostic testing. These conditions are very commonly misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, especially with the drug companies paying doctors SO MUCH $$$ now to push their products by advancing the diagnosis to epidemic levels. Fibromyalgia Sciatica ConcernsSciatica can come about from structural causes, but these typically respond well to appropriate treatment. Unresolved sciatica is often ischemic, just like fibromyalgia is mostly ischemic. It is no wonder that these conditions coexist in many sufferers. In many fibromyalgia patients, the sciatica is still blamed on a spinal source (almost always incorrect) and in other cases, it is just lumped into the great mess of symptoms which comprises the fibromyalgia diagnosis. Either way, the labeling of these patients with the name “fibromyalgia” almost insures that they will never heal or be well ever again… It is the ultimate nocebo effect in the medical community and nothing short of criminal in my book.Fibromyalgia Sciatica AdviceThrough all the years I worked closely with back pain sufferers and a wide range of other potentially psychosomatic pain syndrome sufferers, I have never met so much resistance to the idea of a psycho-emotional causation as I have from fibromyalgia patients. I get many letters with patients telling me that I do not know what I am talking about, since they believe I am somehow telling them what unenlightened doctors may have suggested in the past… This is, of course, that the pain is all in their heads.This is nonsense, since we all know that psychosomatic pain exists 100% in the body and is no less “REAL” than structural pain. In fact, it is far worse, since it DOES NOT respond to seemingly appropriate medical care, leaving the patient alone, desperate and miserable. So please do not write to me with these complaints. Instead, take the time to actually read my writing and realize that it can help you. It is certainly not an insult, since I myself suffer with this same psychosomatic causation. There is no shame in this… That being said, a tremendous number of fibromyalgia patients realized that trying an alternative approach is surely better than suffering year in and year out and gave knowledge therapy a try. The overwhelming majority DID find lasting relief, including my beloved relative. In fact, she is now a fibromyalgia counselor at a world renowned facility! For those who do prefer to hold on to that ridiculous anatomical model for fibromyalgia pain, time will prove me right. You have nothing to lose by thinking outside the box. What is better? To suffer needlessly with a condition theorized to come from some unknown anatomical source or enjoy complete and lasting symptomatic resolution from a condition which has been proven to come from the mindbody process in most cases. You decide. Maybe you just like being a glutton for punishment in defending those very same ridiculous doctors who are enslaving you and perpetuating your pain to put money in their already fat wallets...
