Fibromyalgia and Stress: Catch 22 !

Fibromyalgia is triggered by stress (trauma, infection, divorce etc..). Fibromyalgia is expressed with diffuse pains, fatigue, sleep disturbances and many other symptoms!
All those symptoms are stressful.

See the catch 22 situation!

The more stress, the more triggered the fibromyalgia!

In the treatment, this aspect must be integrated. Treating the pain or any other symptom isn't enough. We must also decrease the stress and teach techniques to control it. But anti-stress techniques on their own are not enough either.

A proper understanding of the fibromyalgia disease at the cellular level is of prime importance.
This is the first step towards success. I will soon be announcing great news but a good start is to read this book.
